A royal LOVE STORY

With Valentine’s Day looming, we get psychologist and body language expert Judi James’ take on the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge’s romance and how it compares to when they first met

‘Quietly powerful’

It’s been nearly 21 years since the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge started dating after meeting as students at the University of St Andrews, and just shy of 11 years since they tied the knot at Westminster Abbey. And according to body language expert Judi, their romantic journey has been a ‘powerful one’.

‘The evolution of the body language signals between William and Kate has been slow but steady and quietly powerful,’ she tells us. ‘Rather than stepping straight into the spotlight as a new royal star, Kate integrated into both the royal Firm and the public’s affections in a way that reflected the long game that is her progression into Queen [Consort] of England.’
