Kate Middleton officially opened the Young V&A

       Kate, the Princess of Wales wanted to let Prince William know she "always will be" by his side with a clever fashion pick, a body language expert claimed.

       The Prince and Princess of Wales visited West Wales on Friday to mark the first anniversary of the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

       On the visit, Kate wore one of her signature coat dresses in a plum tone paired with a matching hat and a pair of pearl earrings the late Queen was known to be particularly fond of.

       Body language expert Darren Stanton argued the color of Kate's dress was selected to send the Prince of Wales – and the public – a very clear message.

       He told Daily Express US: "Kate is wearing purple, which is very significant here.

       “Kate is wearing purple, which is very significant here. It is the color of communication and spirituality. It's clear from this clothing choice she wants William to know she's open, and she's here by his side and always will be.”

       Stanton also noted Kate and William appeared to be very much in sync during their visit to St. David's Cathedral, where they attended a memorial service in honor of Elizabeth II.

       He argued their conduct shows that "their bond has never been stronger" and they are committed to supporting each other.

       Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, he added: "The key thing we can see between Kate and William is that every gesture and every part of their body language is mirrored completely.

       "They have the same posture, their shoulders are back, and their bodies are pointing in the same direction. Their hands are also matching each other's.

       The body language expert added: "This shows they are in deep rapport with one another and are here for each other emotionally.

       "It suggests their bond has never been stronger than it is right now and they're both on the same page in their relationship. It shows complete solidarity between them."

       The weekend was a whirlwind return to royal business for the Princess of Wales after she spent a large part of the summer with her three children while they were on break from school.

       During her one-day visit to Wales, Kate met members of the local community and volunteers with the Royal National Lifeboat Institution.

       She then appeared in a recording of her cousin-in-law Mike Tindall's podcast The Good, the Bad and the Ugly alongside Prince William and Princess Anne.

       And on Saturday evening she was in Marseille, France to cheer on England during their first game in the Rugby World Cup as patron of England Rugby.
