If in the series Harry and Megan and then in Fire Kate Middleton she was portrayed as a cold, icy and calculating woman, oblivious to the wishes of her daughter-in-law, bordering on insensibility, children George, Charlotte and Louis made sure to give us back the loving face of the Princess of Wales. On Mothering Sunday, William’s wife posed for two family photos, celebrating the special bond between Kate and the princes at ages 9, 7 and 4. In keeping with tradition, the official Instagram profile featured two shots by vetted photographer Matt Porteous showing fun and carefree children in Norfolk, in the park of their Sandringham estate, where the picture used as a Christmas card was taken.

In the first image, the mother and children are sitting on the branches of a tree and smiling at the camera while hugging each other.. speaking for them, language of the body which shows mutual affection and a sense of protection. As it turned out Femail Body language expert Judy James: “Children adopt the most protective postures around [Kate]”. The baby’s legs and arms shrink and blend around the mother’s, symbolize intimate and deep connection. Charlotte has the most charming and feminine pose, a sign of how you look at Kate’s mother with admiration, imitating her movements and postures. George, on the other hand, has a slightly forward torso compared to the princess’s, and the way he puts his foot in front of hers. implies a desire to protect. Even little Louis seems to want to show how much he loves and protects his mother. “Smiling and serene, he puts his hand on Kate’s knee,” who, in turn, puts her hand on his arm.
Even for an expert the choice to be immortalized on a tree is very happy and full of meaning to symbolize the “strength and continuity” of the family which branches out and in which Kate Middleton appears as a playmate and accomplice, “one of the team”. “Language of the body [di Kate] it’s about integrating and joining the show as one of them, not as a parent invading their personal space.” The maternal instinct is even more evident in the second shot, where the princess holds and cradles baby Louis. She smiles at him. Louie adorably clings to her arm.” This pose again shows Kate in full “mommy” role, cradling Louis in her arms and looking down with a warm, loving, caring smile that seems to capture the emotional side of motherhood. .”
But he adds: “While she clearly enjoys the way he grows up and becomes confident, spontaneous and playful, this posture suggests that the loss of that constant mother-child contact also elicits some bittersweet emotions.” Louis has always been the smallest in the house, and watching him grow up takes a feeling of veiled melancholy. Time passes for everyone, the three little princes grow noticeably, and with the disappearance of Elizabeth, they are all one step closer to the throne. Compared to an institution that has always remained the same for centuries, there is always a certain effect of seeing new generations grow up.
