<p id=”par-1_49″>The Princess of Wales (<a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/dont-be-fooled-this-is-what-kate-middleton-was-really-like-in-school.html/?swcfpc=1″>formerly known as Kate Middleton</a>) has had to deal with a lot this year. After undergoing abdominal surgery, which required several days in the hospital, she stayed out of public view for a while. That led to wild rumors and conspiracies regarding her whereabouts. </p>
<p id=”par-2_60″>In March, the princess decided to publicly reveal that <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/real-reason-kate-middleton-didnt-announce-cancer-sooner.html/”>she had cancer and was receiving treatment</a>. Then in September Kate shared that she <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/lip-readers-reveal-kate-said-prince-william-emotional-video-celebrates-end-chemotherapy.html/”>ended her chemotherapy, was cancer-free</a>, and would begin attending more events and engagements as she transitioned back to work. On Dec. 6, she attended the annual “Together At Christmas” Carol Service with her family at Westminster Abbey.</p>
<p id=”par-3_21″>Now an expert is speaking about Kate’s appearance and the signals that she looked a bit “tired” during the concert. </p>

<p id=”par-4_84″>Darren Stanton is a body language and behavioral expert with a degree in psychology. He previously worked as a police officer and used his expertise to uncover the truth when interviewing hundreds of suspects. He later moved into media and TV as a consultant and has been dubbed the “Human Lie Detector.” The expert has also analyzed the body language and actions of several members of <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/royal-family/?swcfpc=1″>the royal family</a> and shared what he saw from the Princess of Wales during the carol concert. </p>
<p id=”par-5_33″>Speaking on behalf of <a href=”https://www.slingo.com/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Slingo</a>, Stanton said: “Kate is confident but she’s tired. Her voice tone was quite low this time, lower than usual in terms of interacting with press and guests.” </p>
<p id=”par-6_27″>The expert noted that although she appeared “tired” she still exuded the same confidence she has in the past and made those around her feel “comfortable.” </p>
<p id=”par-7_106″>“However, she’s the same as normal in terms of her levels of confidence, there’s no change in pitch or voice tone, which you would get if she was nervous or still felt out of the loop,” Stanton explained. “She’s worked hard to make sure she’s up to speed. She uses all the gestures she uses to make people feel comfortable there the eye contact, the authentic, genuine smiles. Her resilience levels have been amazing, she’s displaying just as much confidence as she ever did. We see this through gestures such as her touching people’s arms, she’s building trust and rapport, and wants people to feel comfortable.”</p>

<p id=”par-8_36″>The body language guru also spoke about Kate’s outfit choice and the significance of what she chose to wear. According to Stanton, seeing the princess in red means that she is very “strong emotionally” now. </p>
<p id=”par-9_78″>“We saw [Kate] wearing red last night. She hasn’t worn red in quite some time,” he noted before adding, “The fact she is wearing this color represents how strong she is emotionally. It shows she was feeling bold and brave, ready to take anything in her stride. When we look at her body language closely, Kate is elegant and has a great energy about her. She comes across as enthusiastic and confident — she’s feeling good about herself.”</p>
