Prince William was 'human shield' in tense moment between Kate Middleton and Meghan
A body language expert has interpreted a tense moment between Princess Kate and Meghan Markle, pointing out William's act of protection to separate the 'feuding' women A body language expert has decoded a tense moment between the Princess of Wales and Meghan Markle, and thrown light on Prince William 's supposed act of protection for his wife. The dramatic moment occurred back in 2018, two years before Prince Harry and Meghan quit their royal duties and relocated to America. Despite being a united front on the surface, and often being dubbed the Fab Four, an awkward moment inside Westminster Abbey seemed to show cracks forming between the senior royals long before the Sussexes bid farewell to their royal life. The situation occurred in July 2018, as the late Queen led a tribute to celebrate 100 years of the Royal Air Force. More than 2,200 people attended the ceremony inside Westminster Abbey, with senior royals then meeting veterans, personnel, charity representatives and members of the civil service, before returning to Buckingham Palace for a flypast of 100 planes. As Kate and Meghan stood in the Abbey and prepared to greet the Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr John Hall, William stepped in between them, with body language expert Judi James describing the Prince of Wales as a 'human shield' in the moment. There have long been claims that long before Harry and Meghan left the royal family for a new life abroad, the relationship between Kate and Meghan was growing increasingly strained, as James said is only solidified with this tense moment. James told The Mail: 'Superficially, and with the benefit of hindsight, now that we know about the tricky relationship between Meghan and Kate, this looks very much like a devoted and protective husband strategically and very pointedly stepping between his wife and her nemesis in the form of a human shield. 'William's body language shows he is clearly aware that Harry and Meghan have honed into position behind him and he immediately ducks his head to move to stand next to his wife, even sucking his lips inward in what is often a signal of regret.' While the body language expert shared her thoughts on the potentially awkward situation, she also explained the moment from another point of view, and clarified that William's positioning may have been a way of helping to welcome Meghan into the Firm. Judi said: 'There is a spatial gap between William and Meghan that doesn't really show at this angle. When the royals greet their hosts at services like this, there is something of a royal queue with gaps that can turn into a log jam if a royal keeps chatting, as Kate often can. 'Meghan was new to the royal Firm and William's body language to this point had shown him being friendly and welcoming. This movement and change of position could be the kind of adjustment you make to the position of a group at a party when someone new comes to join in. 'It is rude to keep your back to the newcomer as it is a sign of rejection. So, we often shuffle to ensure we encompass the new arrival. Meghan would not have been allowed to join William and Kate here as the pecking order is firm, but it would be completely conceivable for a very polite William to move in to place to ensure his back is not turned against her as she arrived behind him.' 'It is conceivable that William was trying to be polite to Meghan here, although it is also equally conceivable that he might turn himself into something of a buffer between the two women as he did so if he was aware of any friction.'

Prince George milestone highlights 'worrying' Royal Family protocol issue
In a conversation about Prince George's 12th birthday, royal experts discussed whether a certain protocol that applied to Prince William when he was the same age would also apply to George Prince George turning 12 has highlighted a "worrying" problem with one aspect of Royal Family protocol, an expert has claimed. In a chat about the young prince's celebrations on a recent episode of Palace Confidential, royal experts weighed in on what was described by host Jo Elvin as an "interesting bit" of protocol around travel. They discussed whether George, who turned 12 on Tuesday (July 22), would follow in his father's footsteps and no longer travel with him, a royal protocol that reportedly occurred when Prince William passed the same milestone. Richard Eden, diary editor for the Daily Mail, said he had learned this from a "former pilot of royal helicopters". He explained that it was implemented to secure the line of succession, but it would be "interesting" to see if it also applied to George. When asked if the royals planned to continue this, Rebecca English, royal editor for the paper, told the Palace Confidential podcast that she'd spoken to the palace, but got the "impression" that the family "won't be changing" their travel arrangements. Jo then chimed in to note that she had been aware of the protocol when she was a child, as Richard shared his thoughts on why the fact wasn't more common knowledge. He pointed out that they "don't like talking" about security or their travel plans, but went on to highlight what may happen in the event of a tragedy, despite it not being a "tasteful discussion". Richard continued: "But I have to say, you know, I mean it's not a very, sort of, tasteful discussion, but it's the future of our Royal Family, and I personally find it very worrying. You know, look, after the Wales family, we have Harry and Meghan." He added: "The fact is that, you know, Prince Harry and Meghan could be on the throne, and that's something which would be a threat, I would say, to the future of the monarchy." In the UK, the line of succession is regulated by both descent and Parliamentary statute. Prince William, being the oldest of current monarch King Charles ' two sons, is the first in line to the throne. William and Kate have three children - George, Charlotte, 10, and Louis, seven - so they're next in line in this order (descending by age). However, sitting in fifth place is William's brother Prince Harry. In the event that the Waleses were unable to take the throne, Harry would be next in line, followed by his own children, Prince Archie of Sussex and Princess Lilibet of Sussex, and then Charles' younger brother, Prince Andrew, Duke of York. Meanwhile, to mark Prince George's birthday, Kensington Palace released a new photo of him. Unveiled on social media, the snap (which shows a smiling George) was accompanied by a message from his parents. The message, which also featured a birthday cake emoji, read: "Happy 12th Birthday to Prince George!"
