A body language expert has said that the Prince and Princess of Wales’s “genuine enthusiasm” has been passed onto their children, after the family were seen taking part in a round of archery.
Prince William and Princess Kate, along with George, Charlotte and Louis, took part in the Big Help Out as part of the Coronation celebrations, last bank holiday Monday, attending the 3rd Upton Scouts Hut in Slough.
According to The Express, the couple’s sporting competitiveness was noted during a round of archery, after helping to renovate the scout hut.
William and Kate’s three children were seen to be mirroring their parents’ competitive style, according to body language expert, Judi James.
She said: "There was no sense that George, Charlotte and Louis had been nudged along with warnings to be well behaved.
"The signs are that as soon as the family spot a sporting or activity challenge or an opportunity to get stuck in and compete in public they throw themselves into it with genuine enthusiasm.
"Their family team-bonding appears to have an even spread when it comes to enthusiasm and enjoyment. Kate will always compete as much as William and their role-modelling means their children will copy that very equal sense of enthusiasm.
"Even Louis set about filling a wheelbarrow with total, rapt enthusiasm, suggesting he throws himself into tasks at home in the same way."
Judi stated that the children's’ behaviour mirrored their parents, and that they showed genuine interest in the activity.
She continued: "Kate took her archery seriously and therefore, so did Charlotte and while his mother eyed up the target we can see George with his hands in his pockets, mirroring his dad’s splayed elbow pose as he watched to see who would be the winner."
Judi added that Kate appeared able to interact with her children at their level and enable them to feel "confident" in their own abilities, stating: "Kate also shows her skill to create confidence in her children when they do compete or join in play.
"With Louis toasting mallows at the fire she dipped down to his height to join in like another child to allow him to feel motivated but not overly parented."
