Prince William stepped in to ensure there was no tension between Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle during one of their joint public appearances. The two royal couples – Prince William and Kate, and Prince Harry and Meghan – were attending a 100-year tribute to the Royal Air Force.
As Kate and Meghan stood at Westminster Abbey ahead of meeting the Dean of Westminster, William subtly moved between them, helping to keep things calm.
Body language expert Judi James weighed in on the moment, telling The Mail: “Superficially, and with the benefit of hindsight, now that we know about the tricky relationship between Meghan and Kate, this looks very much like a devoted and protective husband strategically and very pointedly stepping between his wife and her nemesis in the form of a human shield.”
According to Judi, William seemed aware of the potential discomfort between the two women and positioned himself carefully. “William’s body language shows he is aware that Harry and Meghan have honed into position behind him and he immediately ducks his head to move to stand next to his wife, even sucking his lips inward in what is often a signal of regret,” she said.
Judi also pointed out that there was a noticeable gap between William and Meghan, which didn’t seem as apparent from the angle of the photo. “When the royals greet their hosts at services like this, there is something of a royal queue with gaps that can turn into a log jam if a royal keeps chatting, as Kate often can.” She explained that while Meghan was new to the royal family, William had previously shown himself to be friendly and welcoming.
However, this small adjustment in his positioning could be interpreted as something you’d do at a social event when someone new joins the group. This subtle move from William shows his awareness of the dynamics at play and his effort to keep things smooth between the two women.
