A dismissive gesture towards Prince William by his wife, Kate Middleton, has shown a change in the Princesses confidence, a body language expert says.
Kate and William visited a foodbank near their home in Windsor and helped pack parcels of essential items for families, reports the Mirror.
However, upon arrival body language expert, Darren Stanton, spotted a subtle gesture that showed a boost in the Princess' confidence. The expert said that the gesture showed she has "a lot of reassurance in herself", and if clips of the Princess from years ago are compared to her now, there is a large difference.

Darren said: " As the couple were seen exiting the car, I noticed that Kate got out from the offside of the vehicle and did not look for William. This does not mean she is not interested, it just means she has a lot of reassurance in herself. If we compare these clips from two to three years ago, she is massively different in her levels of confidence.
"While analysing pictures of Kate at the food bank, she appeared dominant with her gestures, including pointing as she spoke to people. Her body language also seemed very open.
"She adopted self-reassuring gestures in the past. She used to place her hands on top of the other in front of her, almost like a defensive gesture, but we have not seen that gesture displayed for many months."
The expert added: "Kate is wearing her trademark red or as I call it, her superhero costume. She always opts for these tones when she wants to appear very dynamic, bold and is feeling super confident.
"Of course, this is often dictated by the type of event she’s attending. But again, at this particular event, she appeared super confident."
Additionally, Kate wasn't the only one with more confidence at this engagement, as Darren said William was also feeling assured of himself.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, he added: "Since becoming the Prince of Wales, William has also begun to exude a whole different level of confidence, including the way he walks in his posture and what he does with his hands.
"He no longer places them inside his jacket, as he once did in previous years, which is a self-reassurance gesture.
"Also, he no longer plays with his cufflinks like his father, the King. William has clearly embraced his new role, which has provided him with a higher level of confidence."
