Looking back on photos and videos from the 2010s, it's striking to see the difference in Princess Kate's confidence. Her first public engagements and speeches showed a woman who was still easing into her role and the intricacies of royal life, but as the Princess of Wales celebrates her 44th birthday on January 9, the future Queen has proven that she's come into her own.
"Kate hasn’t always been super confident," said body language expert Darren Stanton, speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino. He added that the princess "would often look nervous" during the early days of her relationship with Prince William, such as during their engagement interview, when she "was conscious of how she came across on camera."
