KEY POINTS

  • Kate Middleton and Prince William feeling the pressure and weight after Prince Harry, Meghan Markle resigned
  • Kate Middleton incredibly hurt by Prince Harry's decision
  • Prince William and Prince Harry left Sandringham separately

Kate Middleton and Prince William are feeling the weight and pressure after Prince Harry and Meghan Markle quit their royal roles.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made their first appearance for the first time after the controversial Megxit. Prince William and Middleton joined forces on Wednesday as they visited Bradford for community projects.

Body language expert Blanca Cobb analyzed the future king and queen’s gestures. According to her, Prince William and Middleton are visibly feeling the pressure after the Sussexes decided to step down from their royal roles.

“When you're unsettled about something, you might cover a vulnerable part of your body as if shielding yourself. What's interesting is that William is doing the same,” Cobb told Cosmopolitan.

She also noted that the Cambridges’ “mirror images of each other.” Both led with their right foot and have rounded shoulders.

“It's unusual to see William and Kate with such rounded shoulders. It could be that they're figuratively feeling the weight or pressure of the situation with Harry and Meghan, so it's weighing them down a bit,” Cobb added.

“I think the rounded shoulders are more pronounced at this event than at other past events.”

Middleton was reportedly incredibly hurt by Prince Harry’s decision to turn his back from his royal duties. The Duke of Sussex was very close to the Cambridges before he married Markle. The Duchess of Cambridge is also not happy seeing her husband upset.

On Monday, the Queen had a crisis talk with Prince Charles, Prince William and Prince Harry. The four royals discussed the Sussexes’ future after their decision to step away from their royal duties.

Following the Sandringham showdown, Prince William and Prince Harry were spotted leaving the palace in separate vehicles. The second in line to the throne was seen driving solo while Markle’s husband left in a black Ranger Rover.

After their meeting, the Queen released a statement saying that they support Prince Harry and Markle’s decision. However, the monarch sparked rumors that the Sussexes will be stripped of their royal titles because Her Majesty mentioned their names several times but never used their titles.
