During the Duchess of Cambridge's solo trip to Denmark, many noticed that she often made "anxious gestures".
Body language expert Judi James has said Kate Middleton definitely seemed nervous at various moments during her overseas tour.
Speaking to OK!, the expert said: "There are only a couple of gestures that hint at any potential feelings of nerves or any suggestion of anxiety about the current crisis in the royal Firm back home.
"In one pose, Kate has both hands on the handle of her bag and is holding it in front of her torso in a barrier gesture that makes her look less assured than she does when she is walking with the bag hanging at her side.
"And when she sits at the table for her meeting at the university, she is the one in the group sitting with her hands on her lap rather than on the table like the others, giving them the edge in terms of signals of spatial dominance and status." James explained further.
She added: "It makes her look a little unsure, but then the world of the boardroom is not her natural habitat and hopefully she spread out a little as the meeting went on."
However, despite the various moments of nervousness, James did note that in many of the photos, Kate showed a "keenness and a purpose" as she visited the Scandinavian country.
The royal has been pictured this week in Copenhagen, visiting the Centre of Early Childhood to learn about "Denmark's approach to early childhood development" while wearing a white shirt and a red Zara jacket.
James said, on the whole, Kate is "stamping her royal profile with a look of calm confidence and charm here as she undertakes her first solo trip abroad since the pandemic kicked in."
"Although she produces a perfect and often fun-looking double-act with her husband (Prince William), Kate appears to project higher levels of assertive confidence here by herself," James said.
"Her outfit looks like an intentional statement of a more brusque, business-like approach and that sentiment is very much echoed in her handshaking techniques."
James added that when Kate waves to the crowd and shakes hands with fans, she shows "warmth" and "modesty".
