Prince William 'tense; around Kate Middleton, here's why

Prince William has reportedly been showing "inner tension" in the presence of his wife Kate Middleton at a recent appearance in Boston for the Earthshot Prize ceremony.

Body language expert Judi James told The Sun, that Kate and William’s mannerisms at the Boston Celtics games suggested that there was some tension within the Prince of Wales.

She spoke of the moment where Kate appeared to place her hand on Prince William’s knee and said: "The way he’s clinging to Kate’s hand does suggest inner tension."

"She has done this PDA before but it has been more of a fleeting gesture but here it is getting validation from William’s reciprocal response," she added.

"He places his own hand on top of hers and even curls his fingers around her hand to keep it in place."

"Their knees are also touching, providing some strong sensory signals of closeness and support. Kate has even placed her legs in a knee splay position to achieve this, suggesting she feels the touch is important."
