Prince William's common gesture explained, and why he touches his cufflinks

Body language expert Darren Stanton says Prince William’s behaviour has changed over the years as the royal turns 40, explaining the meaning behind some of his most common gestures. Darren said William is now ‘embracing’ his role as future King and the huge influence his marriage to Kate Middleton has had on him.

Darren, speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, has explained how William's body language has changed since his marriage to Kate - and why, revealing the hidden meaning behind what the Duke of Cambridge does with his hands.

Darren said: "As an early Royal, William relied on ‘self-reassurance’. “As young children both William and Harry were quite introverted and did not appear that confident. When William grew into adolescence, he developed a number of personality traits reminiscent of his father Prince Charles - they say we are a reflection of the people around us, they influence our values and beliefs and in the case of William, this is very true.
