Kate Middleton Follows Meghan Markle's Camera Tip, Wears Pants During Final Engagement

Kate Middleton may be taking some fashion advice from soon-to-be sister-in-law Meghan Markle.

The "Suits" actress is an expert when it comes to dealing with fame and attention, and it seems that Middleton is learning some things from her despite the duchess gaining her own following since she married Prince William in 2011. Markle has been photographed staring directly at the camera, and there's a reason for this.

"Meghan's habit of doing what is called camera courting suggests a desire to communicate openly and confidently in the way that her peers would do via social media and blogs," said body language expert Judi James via Express.

On the other hand, Prince William's wife doesn't usually look directly at photographers' cameras when she's in public. "[Kate] poses beautifully but there is no regular direct communication from her," James commented.

However, it seems that Middleton has had a change of heart when it comes to dealing with cameras. The publication shared several photos of the Duchess of Cambridge during her latest outings, and in the snaps, she could be seen staring straight at the lenses.

Aside from this, it seems that Middleton is adopting Markle's fondness for pants. The mom-of-two rarely wears pants as she prefers to wear dresses and skirts whenever she steps out. However, she went for a different look for her final engagement before taking a break.

Middleton joined Prince William on Thursday for another Commonwealth event. The duchess surprised everyone by wearing black skinny pants, a cream-colored coat by Goat, a printed top by Hobbs and pumps. Middleton accessorized with a black clutch and drop pearl earrings, People reported.

Prince William and Middleton started their morning at London's Olympic Park with a visit to SportsAid. They sat on the sidelines to watch a wheelchair basketball game, met the athletes and had their knowledge tested in a "Commonwealth Quiz."

The publication noted that this will be Middleton's final engagement for now as she will soon deliver her third child with Prince William. According to Ringo Starr, the Duke of Cambridge told him during his knighting that the duchess was due "any minute now."

Initially, royal fans thought that the new addition to the family of four will arrive on St. George's Day or on the couple's seventh wedding anniversary on April 29. Some speculated that the child might be delivered on Princess Charlotte's third birthday. However, it seems that this will not be the case as Middleton may give birth sooner than expected.
