Kate Middleton shows no signs of strain at key royal event after emotional confession

Kate Middleton radiated glow as she welcomed French President Emmanuel Macron and his wife, Brigitte Macron, to UK, with Prince William.

According to a body language expert, the Princess of Wales looked radiant and happy during the French state visit, with her warm smile towards William drawing attention.

Speaking with The Mirror, body language expert Judi James noted that Kate appeared genuinely delighted, showing no signs of strain despite her ongoing recovery from illness. 

"Macron has been all charm and smiles, winking at Kate during the banquet dinner and bending to kiss her hand on arrival like a true gallant,” she said of the guests.

The expert added, "And his hosts have been equally fulsome in their displays, despite their obvious background circumstances, like their treatment and recovery from illness.

"Charles has rarely looked as chipper, chuckling and giggling in a state of fine good humour throughout the evening despite his cancer and despite suffering from one very bloodshot eye.

"William and Kate were tactile, flirty, loving and positively glowing, with Kate's gleaming smile signalling what looked like genuine delight, exuding gracious charm despite her ongoing recovery from illness."

The appearance came after Kate candidly spoke of her life following completion of her cancer journey.

"You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment,” she said while meeting cancer patient at Colchester Hospital.

“Treatment's done, then it’s like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, is really, really difficult."

The Princess of Wales continued, "You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to."

“And actually someone to help talk you through that, show you and guide you through that sort of phase that comes after treatment, I think is really valuable."
