Princess Kate appears to have one striking gesture that she uses on every royal visit that she attends. The 41-year-old is known for her ability to make everyone that she meets feels extremely comfortable in her presence and, according to insiders, she has a particular way of connecting with people.
Chief Scout Dwayne Fields, who has met Kate on multiple times in her role as joint-President of the Scout Association, has now shared a striking gesture that she showcases on visits. Speaking to the Daily Mail’s Richard Eden at the Employee Network Awards at the London Hilton on Park Lane, he said: “I wonder if her security have an easy job trying to mind her. As soon as she arrives, she makes everyone feel comfortable.” Speaking of the gesture, he added: “She’ll get down on the ground… to their level… physically their level.”
Continuing, he said: “If they’re sat down on the floor, reading maps or drawing or doing art or being creative, she’s gonna sit on the floor as well.””
He also added that this thoughtful gesture helps those around her feel instantly at ease and highlights her natural warmth and empathy.
As per the Mirror, Kate first demonstrated this gesture back in 2016 during a visit to a visit to a children’s shelter in the Indian capital, Delhi.
Sanjoy Roy, co-founder of the Salaam Baalak Trust, said: “When William and Catherine came to see this project, [representatives] called saying, ‘They’re happy to come without security’.”
He added: “I tried to dissuade them, saying, ‘No can do – it’s too dangerous. Just don’t come.’
“But Will and Kate said, ‘No, we really want to.’ They were so wonderfully respectful. It was quiet, calm, and meaningful. No drama – just genuine care.”
This comes after Harry’s previous comment about his security fears about bringing his wife and children back to the UK.
