Kate Middleton has 'no anxiety' on royal outing after Charles 'downgraded' her

Kate Middleton seemingly has 'no anxiety' during a royal engagement after King Charles III "downgraded" her in a recent family photo.

King Charles was accused of 'downgrading' the Princess of Wales in a recent photo released by Buckingham Palace, but a body language expert claims Kate has no hard feelings about the snub. The Prince and Princess of Wales visited an Indian restaurant on their recent engagement in Birmingham as the couple enjoyed a slew of sweet moments.

During their trip, William answered an unexpected phone call to take an order while Kate beamed as one body language expert claims she showed off her happiness to 'muck in', reports the Mirror.

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Bingo, Darren Stanton reveals: "It’s a fantastic piece of footage that again demonstrates Kate and William’s ability to muck in and be one of the people. William is displaying open body language, there were no signs of a lack of confidence, no hand to face or mouth gestures, facially we saw genuine happiness and joy.

"William was genuinely having a laugh, he wasn’t embarrassed at all, there were no signs of anxiety. Kate was looking on as if she was managing William, again very open body language.

He continued: "She adopted an open posture and microexpressions of happiness. We always see consistent behaviour from her, what you see is what you get.

"Overall, the footage demonstrates the future of the monarchy where Prince William and Kate want to be seen as very accessible by the public. The pair have clearly got a great sense of humour and it’s kudos to when they eventually do become King and Queen."

It comes after King Charles has made huge steps to carefully select a photo that show Meghan and Harry as firmly part of the family with one expert claiming they overshadow Kate and William.

Body language expert Judi James says the Duchess of Sussex is the "stand-out star" as she laughs with Queen Camilla and Princess Charlotte, while Kate Middleton appears "downgraded". Speaking to The Mirror, Judi also pointed out King Charles has sought to 'airbrush history' with the move.

"Kate has received a body language downgrade here. Standing to the side of the pose and looking outward, she appears stripped of her current status as the stand-out star of the Firm.

"It's Meghan who catches the eye here, bending forward and laughing in delight as she shares the happy moment with Camilla and Charlotte in a very active and relaxed-looking way. Her pose here suggests warmth and a desire to get involved as part of the family."
