A body language expert recently analyzed the lighthearted exchanges between Prince William and Princess Catherine during a sports match, building on her previous observations of the couple at another event.
On March 15, 2025, the Prince and Princess of Wales attended the Wales vs. England Six Nations Game in Cardiff. While the match itself was thrilling, it was Catherine’s warm smile toward her husband that caught the expert’s attention, sparking new insights into their dynamic.
During the match at Principality Stadium, all eyes were on Prince William and Princess Catherine as they shared animated moments in the stands.
Dressed in sophisticated dark ensembles, the couple exuded elegance, with William adding a bold touch to his look with a vibrant red scarf. Their lighthearted interactions throughout the game offered a glimpse into their dynamic.
As Wales faced off against England in the Six Nations, body language expert Judi James closely examined their exchanges, noting shifts in their expressions and demeanor.
“At the start of the game, we saw Kate sitting looking serious and even slightly tense, but William was beaming smugly as though assuming his side would win,” Judi remarked.
The prince exuded confidence, his relaxed stance and easy demeanor evident in the way he engaged with those around him, exchanging handshakes and waving to fans. In contrast, the princess seemed deeply focused, her expressions marked by a quiet intensity as she closely followed the match.
As the match went on and England started gaining the upper hand, Catherine’s expression noticeably changed. Cameras captured “Kate performing a ‘naughty’ dimpled smile,” which, according to Judi, was a subtle yet revealing sign that she was enjoying the friendly rivalry with her husband.
Judi also pointed out that while William stuck to his usual confident, puckered-mouth smiles, Catherine’s expressions suggested a hint of playful teasing—perhaps even acknowledging England’s increasing lead.

After England’s commanding 68-14 win over Wales, Catherine headed to the locker room to congratulate the team in person. Later, the England squad shared a celebratory post on X, featuring a touching group photo of the princess surrounded by the victorious players.
Dressed in their white jerseys—some still showing signs of the intense match—the athletes gathered around Catherine, who stood at the center, smiling proudly alongside them. “Thank you for joining us today, Your Royal Highness @KensingtonRoyal,” the post’s caption read.
