KATE'S BODY LANGUAGE

Analysing Kate Middleton's cancer announcement based on her body language, as expressed by her hands.

Introduction

Kate Middleton’s cancer announcement came after months of speculations and endless rumours about her health and about her state of being (or not being).

Even after it was release there were people who claimed it is a fake, that it was created by AI, that it is not Kate, and even statements such as “she is lying, she doesn’t have cancer”.

In this analysis I’m going to share with you what I read in Kate’s body language. I’ve been forced to learn it because my son has severe autism which made him non-verbal, which meant the only way to understand him was to try to read his body language. It was never easy because he doesn’t control his body the way non-autistic people do, and it meant that I had to develop a sense of sensitivity to a different body language which I was accustomed in a non-conscious and conscious manner while communicating to “normal” people.

Here is the video, and below that is the analysis with key points.

Analysis

The upper hand is the left hand. Connected to the right hemisphere, with less entrapment by the left hemisphere, and more representation of the subconscious. Right hand connects to the left hemisphere, which is responsible for the building of the model of reality we have, and via the creation of meaning that the ego perceives.

• Up to 0:45 very structured movement. controlled.

• 0:44 - 0:48 "And now I'm in early stages of that treatment". Her hands stops. She stops up to 0:48. It's hard for her. She takes a deep breath. She is sad. She is no longer in control.

• 0:50 - 0:55 "And William and I have been doing everything to process and manage it privately" - look at the way her left thumb is touching her right thumb. It represent her intimacy with William. lower thumb represent her mind, upper thumb represent William's love.

• 0:56 - 0:58 "for the sake of our young family" - she stops. Her left (upper) hand seems lost. It is trying to hide the lower hand. Her world collapsed.

• 0:59-1:01 “As you can imagine this has taken time” - left hand fingers go over her right thumb, as if trying to give hope to her ego who now sees a broken world.

• 1:05 - 1:06 "start my treatment" - look how hard she is grabbing her lower hand. She is trying to keep being strong.

• 1:12 - 1:14 "in a way that's appropriate for them" - again grabbing - trying to keep strength.

• 1:15 - 0:17 "and to reassure them that I'm going to be OK" - starts with strong grab of the fingers of one hand with the upper hand, end with movement of the fingers but still in locked position. She's so afraid it will not be ok.

• 1:27 - 1:30 "having William by my side"

• 1:30 - 1:32 "Is a great source of comfort and reassurance" - again the left thumb is moving on her right thumb. William is her comfort in this moment of uncertainty.

• 1:33 - 1:35 "as the love, support, and kindness that has been shown by so many of you". Notice the position of the hands changes - upper and lower position. emotional statement.

• 1:36 - 1:39 "it means so much for us, both". She press her hands in upper/lower position. It is a statement of truth, both her mind and her heart agrees with it.

• 1:47 - 1:48 "(we need some time, space and privacy) while I complete my treatment" - restructure of fingers position. (example: starts with upper right thumb on the left, she them moves the left thumb over). Exposes she is uncertain about the outcome of her treatment.

• 1:50 - 1:55 "my work has always brought me a deep sense of joy, and I'm look forward to be back when I'm able" - right finger is touching the left finger. It's her rational talking.

• 1:56 - 2:00 "But for now I must focus on making a full recovery" - she end the sentence with her fingers don't know what to do. Rational is lost, she knows nothing is certain.

• 2:10 - 2:14 "Please do not loose faith or hope. You are not alone" her left hand moved position before saying that. She ended her talk with a form of a left hand holding in what I can describe as reverse shaking of the right hand. It's a state of her subconscious saying to her conscious - it's going to be ok.

Addendum

To address the claims it is a false, static background, please watch this video in full screen mode:

I've fast forward and backwards of the video. Notice the flowers, especially the ones to her right behind the bench. Simply not a windy day.

ABOUT THE FLOWERS: the yellow are daffodils, called "March's birth flower". The pink - cherry blossom.

Final thoughts

I have no doubt that Kate was telling the truth. She has cancer. It is hard for her. She is a strong woman (she must be to get married into this family), but it doesn’t mean she is not human, and she is struggling with the uncertainty of it as she experience the deep fragility of life and health.

I understand some people might not be able to see what I see, or even more importantly - to feel what I feel when I see it. I’ve been trapped in my left hemisphere of my brain for way too long for criticising “others” of being so lost in their own models of reality. But I do ask everyone to remember that the only way not to get lost in our own insanity/madness is via connection to our true nature, a commitment to love, compassion, kindness, happiness, and stillness. That is only path to truth.

Be here, now, in love. Send Kate love.
