How Kate and William’s relationship has ‘changed’ and ‘developed over the years’

The Prince and Princess of Wales have been doing more public engagements together than ever before.

Earlier this week, Princess Kate supported Prince William at a charity polo match and handed out the awards, and it was clear to the public that they “share a very strong connection”.

Body language expert Darren Stanton delved into the royal couple’s relationship and gave his thoughts on their interactions in public.

He said: “The two have got a very mischievous side to the relationship, and again, the fact that they are more than happy to kiss, hold hands and just have fun in public shows the kind of relationship that they have.”

Darren said the Prince and Princess of Wales’s relationship has “clearly gone from strength to strength, and they obviously have a very deep trust and deep relationship”.

Elaborating on their closeness out in public, he added: “We rarely see displays of affection by members of the Royal Family – especially the late Queen Elizabeth and King Charles. This proves that William isn’t afraid to display his love and deep rapport for Kate.”

In terms of Prince William, Darren said he “appears extremely authentic and genuine” and said it will be “interesting to continue to see how he further develops as he moves towards the throne”.

Kate, on the other, is said to be predominantly responsible for her husband’s “development as a person”, according to the expert.

Darren explained: “I think Kate has played a large part in his development. When they met the two of them were not that particularly confident people, however, they’ve both developed over the years.

“With respect to Kate, she has played a major part in his development as a person, as a future monarch, and certainly when it comes to his degree of confidence in the world.

“She too has developed greatly over the years, even more so than William,” he added.

She started off quite introverted, not really wanting to get involved, and now she’s become a more and more integral part of the royal family – especially since their marriage.

“These two are now considered to be the most senior members of the working Royal Family. I definitely believe Kate’s development of confidence has also helped William to feel more at ease,” Darren said speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino.
