The exchange between Kate Middleton and Sophie of Edinburgh
Kate Middleton made one of her first
apparitions at the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph. The princess returns little by little to her
royal duties since the remission of his cancer. She observed the wreath-laying ceremony from the balcony of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In the absence of Queen Camilla, who was forced to rest at home because she suffers from a lung infection, Kate Middleton had to stand alone to the central balcony. But it is Sophie of Edinburgh who was moved from her original position on a nearby balcony to stand alongside the princess as a sign of support. The two women exchanged a few words. One lip reader, Kayleigh Harris, told the Sun that Kate would have said to Sophie: “She will be supported in this.”
And Sophie would have replied: “Yes, and in particular… “. However, it remains uncertain to whom the two royals were referring.
Also an analysis of body language
A body language expert highlighted a message
secret of Sophie for Prince William, manifested by a affectionate gesture towards Kate Middleton. When the two women left the balcony, Sophie posed his hand on his back from Kate. Body language expert Judi James explained to Mirror : “The little gesture of the hand behind the back as Kate moved inside seemed not only to offer a form of maternal affection, care and reassurance, even congratulations to his niece by marriage, but it also seemed to show William that Kate is in very good royal hands in his absence.”
Indeed, for the expert, the bodily message was for Prince William: “Sophie was obviously playing the role of
temporary replacement for William. She chatted with Kate as they stood side by side, and despite Kate's apparent confidence in taking the place once occupied by the late queen, Sophie seemed to be watching over her, just as Anne clearly watches over her brother Charles.”
