00:00 Kate Middleton let slip her mask and looked furious, with Prince William at an important royal event, claimed a body language expert.
00:07 The Prince and Princess of Wales are well known for looking comfortable and at ease together whether during a ceremony or chatting to members of the public.
00:28 Kate has received plenty of praise from royal fans for the way that she conducts herself, seemingly always with a smile on her face.
00:35 But it appears as though she was caught out on one occasion where she failed to hide her emotions when she was angry with William, claimed body language expert Judy James.
00:57 It was when the couple were visiting Warsaw in 2017 for a birthday party in honour of the late Queen at the Orangerie Lezienki Park.
01:05 "When we see a photo of a royal looking angry or stressed it can often be a body language — flash — i.e. a very fleeting facial expression that has been taken out of context," she told the Express.
01:23 "When we see the whole footage the message can be completely different, especially if it's a royal like Kate, who is normally known for her pitch-perfect social smiles that she can keep in place without looking strained or inauthentic for long periods of time."
01:49 Ms. James told how Kate is normally an accomplished masker and she acted uncharacteristically in Warsaw.
01:56 Unlike Diana, whose facial expressions could show powerfully fluctuating emotional states, Kate is an accomplished masker, meaning she does her job in exactly the way she is expected to, without any flicker of negative emotions on her face, she continued.

02:19 Except for this occasion back in 2017 on William and Kate's visit to Warsaw. Kate's unsmiling facial expression looked shocking and it wasn't just a "flash".
02:42 There are several photos of the occasion that show her looking unhappy or even throwing William some pointed looks while he tried to remain neutral, with a faint, polite, closed-lip smile of what looked like regret or awkwardness.
02:54 Kate's eyes looked tired, with dark smudges underneath them and at one point she appeared to be looking down while biting the inside of her mouth as though holding back her emotions.

03:11 As she looked out towards the waiting guests her arms looked rigid and her eye expression wary.
03:28 According to the expert, this "unique body language" from the royal did not go unnoticed, "prompting" rumours that the couple were arguing and that Kate was furious with her husband.
03:38 The body language expert does feel that the arrival of Prince Louis the following year may have had something to do with Kate's behaviour.

03:52 She pointed to a quote from her during the tour where she talked about having more babies and that might have had something to do with the fluctuating moods.
