Catherine, Princess of Wales, and Queen Camilla stood together on the balcony on Remembrance Sunday, sending a powerful message about the monarchy. Dressed in similar black coats, hats, and pearl jewelry, the two women presented themselves as a "strong team," according to body language expert Judi James.
James noted the absence of Sophie Wessex, usually part of the trio of royal brides, emphasizing that Camilla and Kate stood apart, portraying themselves as equals. The women's matching poses and perfectly aligned wide-brimmed hats further contributed to the impression of a united front.
During a moment at the balcony, James observed a subtle but significant signal from Kate to Camilla regarding the family hierarchy. As they were entering, Kate appeared to gesture "after you" to Camilla, emphasizing a recognition of the remaining need for small hierarchical cues after the late Queen's death. Camilla, in turn, showed gratitude for the gesture, highlighting the nuanced dynamics within the royal family.
