Perhaps it's my attention to detail, or maybe it's my fascination with all things royals, but I've made quite a few interesting observations about Prince William. For one, he has a habit of crossing his hands in front of his body at public engagements, and he's typically at ease whenever he plays sports. (Remember his rugby game?) Now, I'm noticing another interesting detail about his body language.

In case you missed it, the Prince of Wales, 42, attended a special Christmas lunch hosted by the homelessness charity, The Passage, and the royal was practically beaming as he served food alongside the staff. On Instagram, he shared a few photos and wrote, "A pleasure to be back serving Christmas lunch at @passagecharity. Thank you to Claudette and the incredible volunteers who dedicate their time to supporting those experiencing homelessness. The selflessness and compassion shown in creating a warm and welcoming space during the festive season makes a profound difference."

The post includes multiple photos of the prince sporting a genuine smile, and he appears to be full of enthusiasm as he serves food to the community and interacts with The Passage team. He also has a relaxed posture and has an extra button on his shirt undone, which suggests that he is comfortable and totally at ease. One fan commented, "What an amazing man you are. Diana would have been so proud. Thank you for helping and highlighting what shouldn’t be happening."

In another post, Prince William shared a video of highlights, which includes footage of the royal distributing food and speaking with those experiencing homelessness.

The prince captioned the post, "A sincere thank you to all the @passagecharity volunteers working tirelessly to support those experiencing homelessness, especially during the festive season. Acts of kindness, like serving Christmas lunches, brings hope and fosters a sense of community for those who need it most."

In the video, Prince William smiles from ear to ear and even embraces the charity's head chef while wishing her a happy birthday. When he speaks with the attendees, he focuses intently as he listens to them and maintains eye contact, which reveals that he's fully present and genuinely interested in hearing their stories.

One fan commented, "You can tell William is really listening to those he is speaking with. He asks questions and has such an ease about him. I'm American and very proud of how he truly holds and conducts himself. He will be a very special king." Another added, "Prince William is so similar to his mother. He has become such a great good-hearted man."

Keep up the great work, Prince William.
