Just a few weeks ago, I saw Kate Middleton step out for the Festival of Remembrance, which marked the first major outing for the Princess of Wales since she completed her chemotherapy treatments in September. Dozens of photos were released from the solemn event, and I noticed quite a few things, from her striking portrait to the unwavering support of Duchess Sophie. But this time around, as I analyzed several pics and footage of her most recent outing, I made some interesting observations about the princess's body language.

On Tuesday, Middleton joined her husband, Prince William, to welcome the Amir of the State of Qatar, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, and his wife, Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Hamad bin Suhaim Al Thani, during their visit to the U.K., then joined the couple for the Ceremonial Welcome at Horseguards Parade. Per usual, Middleton stole the show with her stunning monochrome outfit, and according to her non-verbal gestures, the princess was quite content.

In a video shared by the royal family on social media, Middleton is seen walking alongside her husband as they follow the royal visitors, as well as King Charles and Queen Camilla. She blends right in as she briefly chats with her husband, and it's hard to miss the princess's confident stride as she carries herself with elegance and ease. Her shoulders are relaxed and her posture is perfect, projecting both comfort and power.

In addition, I saw a few snaps from the event and noticed an interesting detail: Middleton's dazzling smile.

Her positive facial expressions come off as genuine, revealing that she is motivated and happy to be involved. Not only that, but this also speaks to her friendly demeanor and approachability.

Following the official welcome, the Princess of Wales joined her husband and their guests for a special lunch, followed by a viewing of treasures from the Royal Collection. A banquet is also taking place on Tuesday evening, although Middleton will skip the event to prioritize her ongoing health recovery.

In just a few days (December 6, to be exact), Middleton will be back in the spotlight to host her annual Together at Christmas Carol Service at Westminster Abbey—and I'm almost certain that her dazzling smile will return.

It's great to have you back, Kate.
