William and Kate's first public kiss on the Palace balcony

Friday, April 29, 2011


Beneath the famous balcony thousands of cheering well-wishers watched as Prince William and his new bride The Duchess of Cambridge finally kissed. Kate giggled afterwards while William smiled broadly.

Like Prince Charles and Diana before them, the romantic gesture will become one of the defining images of their wedding day - and both will be acutely aware of its significance.

Body language expert Peter Collett, author of The Book Of Tells, said the body language of William and Catherine was diametrically opposed to that of Charles and Diana 30 years ago. And their loving gestures towards one another signals that theirs will be a long and happy union.

He says: 'In 1981, there were loads of signs the relationship didn't have a great future and most of them came from Charles. He looked miserable, paid Diana very little attention and, during the ceremony, wiped his eyes not once but twice - a classic sign of sadness and, one suspects, regret.

'Today, we see a completely different picture with both William and Kate regally composed and obviously enjoying the occasion - William uncharacteristically totally confident and the couple completely into each other.
