The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were spotted going through a range of emotions while watching the tense tennis match between Cameron Norrie and David Goffin on Tuesday.
Darren Stanton, a body language expert, analyzed the pair as they joined tennis enthusiasts in the stands at the prestigious tournament.
Speaking of the Duchess’ mannerisms during the match, Mr Stanton said she seemed anxious at times.
He told the Daily Mirror: “During a tense moment on the track, Kate was seen anxiously tucking her hair behind her ears while William made an expression of tension”.
British player Norrie triumphed, beating his Belgian opponent, David Goffin, in a dramatic five-set game to reach the Wimbledon semi-finals.
However, the road to victory was not an easy one, which was reflected in the Duchess’s face.
Kate and William cheered loudly as Norrie fought hard to secure the 3-6 7-5 2-6 6-3 7-5 victory against unseeded Goffin.
Mr Stanton said: “As always, an outing on such a public scale sees Kate and William setting the tone and setting a precedent for how things will be for when William becomes king.
“They are two individuals who are not afraid to be themselves, while performing their royal duties courteously and to the best of their ability.”

He seemed to be saying, “Oh no, no, not… F…” before the cameras turned away and wouldn’t let him finish his sentence.
But by the end of the match, the pair seemed overjoyed with the result.
Norrie is the first British man to reach the Wimbledon singles semi-finals since Andy Murray in 2016 and the first British player since Johanna Konta in 2017.
After winning the 26-year-old said: “I think just winning a competition like this, I’m in shock. I don’t know what to say now. I have flashbacks of all the hard work and all the sacrifices that I’ve had to make and it certainly paid off — and it feels pretty good.”
