A BODY language expert has said that Kate Middleton and Prince William “mirror” each other physically, and it demonstrates their “deep level of love”.
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may have been married for a decade, but their connection is more “intense” than ever, says Judi James.
Speaking to Fabulous, she said: “The phrase ‘like-bodied equals like-minded’ is so true of William and Kate who have displayed a tendency to mirror one another with a high degree of intensity since they first got married.
“Done consciously it will always imply strong bonding, a bit like wearing matching jumpers to show the world you’re an item, but in these photos we can see they also use identical poses and gestures when they are out of sight of each other as well, which signals an intense meeting of minds and outlook.
“It’s also a romantic ritual and, unlike hand-holding or other more obvious PDAs, it shows very deep levels of loving bonds.”
Judi said that the level of the couple’s synchronisation is “relatively rare” and is particularly “astonishing” given William’s background.

She explained: “First there’s William’s military training that should have left him, like his father and brother, with a specific style of movement that would be unlikely to be as flexible as this.
“Then there is his royal upbringing which is based so much on royal hierarchy that it is unusual to see a top level royal using such equal-status mutual mimicry as he does with Kate.”
Kate and Prince William put on a rare display of public affection at the Earthshot Prize last month and were pictured cuddling up to one another and gazing into each other’s eyes.
And the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were seen holding hands during their visit to the Clydeside Distillery in Glasgow, Scotland.
Although there is no protocol around royals showing PDA, Kate and William typically refrain from overt displays.
Etiquette expert Myka Meier told People: “The royals often adjust PDA to mirror the formality of the event they are attending.
“At a sombre or more formal event, we are less likely to see PDA than at a casual event where it would be deemed more fitting.”
