Kate Middleton abandon's tradition at Wimbledon and ushers in 'new era'
Britain's Prince William and Kate Middleton beamed as they arrived at the All England Club for the men's Wimbledon finals yesterday afternoon, but according to a body language expert, their appearance speaks volumes about their relationship dynamic. 'This very charming and unequivocal role-reversal by William and Kate showed beyond doubt how much the new era of monarchy will be based on equality rather than traditional status,' Judi James explains. Prince George, 11, and Princess Charlotte, 10, also attended the games alongside their parents, dressed in their Sunday best as they greeted officials. Kate has been patron of the All England Lawn and Tennis Club, also known as the AELTC (which organises the day-to-day running of the prestigious tournament), since 2016, Mirror UK reports. Judi, speaking on behalf of VBET ( believes it was clear this was 'Kate's event,' with William and their children 'very much her 'plus ones'.' As the family arrived at SW19, Kate was shown confidently greeting officials and engaging in lively conversation. William, meanwhile, walked behind with George and Charlotte, 'very much bringing up the rear,' says Judi. Far from any sign of tension, Judi observed that William's choice of outfit - a perfectly tailored blazer, tie and pocket square - appeared to be a subtle homage to the occasion and to his wife. 'His outfit showed loyalty and respect,' she said. 'Dressing for the occasion like this emphatically showed total respect for his wife and an ongoing desire to please her. Royal men tend to dominate the style mood of any event they appear at, but William's unique outfit here looked like an homage to both Wimbledon and to his wife.' In her striking cobalt blue dress, Kate took centre stage as she chatted with ease and introduced her family. 'There was an air of increased confidence here as she instigated conversations and turned occasionally to her family to explain details and introductions,' Judi adds. Meanwhile, William's body language projected a calm and supportive presence. 'He looked like a very compliant and proud 'plus one' to his wife here, with his hands clasped in front of his torso as he chatted. His eyelid-stutters and cut-off rituals hinted at a more passive approach than his confident and very popular wife.' Judi also noted that this dynamic is particularly significant for the monarchy's future. 'He even seems happy walking in her shadow. For him, it seems a matter of utter pride,' she adds. The Princess also attended Wimbledon solo on Saturday, presenting the trophy at the women's final. She sported her ' Wimbledon bow' - a brooch featuring the tournament's iconic colours - which it's believed she has worn every time she has visited Wimbledon.
