It's no secret that the Prince and Princess of Wales are a power couple who have captured the hearts of people all around the world with their love story and sense of duty.
But while Prince William has been in the royal spotlight his whole life, preparing to one day become King, it seems some think his wife might actually be more confident with the public than he is.
Following Kate Middleton's meeting with Dame Kelly Holmes in Bath yesterday, an expert has shared his thoughts on the couple, claiming the princess has a 'stronger personality' than her husband.
Speaking on behalf of Slingo, body language expert Darren Stanton has claimed that Kate is always 'confident' at events even without William by her side as she is the 'stronger personality' of the two.

"You know someone is confident by their posture and the way they walk. Kate always springs out of the vehicle after arriving at an engagement. Her arms are often stretched out and she has good eye contact when shaking hands with others.
"You will notice that when other people meet her, they either curtsey or do a court bow, which is a sign of submission.
Darren claims Kate is always 'confident' at events - even when alone (PA)"People will also dip their heads when they meet Kate. They will make themselves lower than her and members of the Royal Family. That shows they are saying, 'I acknowledge your importance.'
"Kate has never displayed any signs of anxiety as a result of this. She recognises that it is one of the protocols people are instructed to do. Anyone who will be interacting with them will be briefed to curtsey or bow. But a lot of it is relaxed with Kate and William."
The expert added that Kate is very different from the Queen was when she presents herself in public.
"The Queen was not one to shake hands, but that was all chucked out of the window with them. And to a large extent, we've seen the same happen with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry. It's why they're so different when they present themselves in public," he explained.
Darren went on to share how Kate's choice of outfit for the occasion also reflected her confidence and happiness, saying: "Kate looks happy and confident while also relaxed. She opted to wear yellow, which is a happy colour, and this is a bit different to her usual choices as she tends to go for red, blue, white and purple.
"Such a colour allows her to reveal her personality a bit more, with Kate clearly comfortable in her outfit choice as she looks relaxed.
"Her latest appearance shows she's really evolved into attending engagements alone, Kate clearly has a lot of confidence and has become a natural at going to these events and meeting dignitaries on her own."
