The Duke and Duchess of
Cambridge’s love story is full of Hallmark moments that seem far from
reality. The arrival of their third baby, however, seemed out of the
ordinary because it was so normal.
“If you were to quickly
glance at the photos of them showing off their new baby boy, you wouldn’t know
that they’re royal,” Patti Wood, body language expert and author of SNAP:
Making the Most of First Impressions, Body Language, and Charisma told
GoodHousekeeping.com. (Just ignore Kate’s sapphire sparkler, OK?) Despite
the hype and attention, the couple acted as any new parents would — smiling,
giddy, and totally smitten with one another.
But remember their first time
around? Nearly five years ago, we witnessed a timid — yet ecstatic — couple
hours after the birth of their first child.
“Kate’s feet are nearly
overlapping as she’s standing on the stairs,” Patti Wood, body language
expert and author of SNAP: Making the Most of First Impressions, Body
Language, and Charisma told GoodHousekeeping.com. “This indicates
that she feels the need to keep it all together. Both of them have relaxed
hands but there’s slight gestures like the feet and forced smiles that indicate
they’re a bit tense in this moment.”
