Kate Middleton showed up at the Wimbledon men's finals on Sunday (to a standing ovation, I might add) and body language experts are out here doing their thing. According to pro Judi James, the Princess of Wales was "on top of her game" as evidence by her three signature "tells."

"If there were any signs of inner nervousness or anxiety they only came in the form of two self-comfort smoothing gestures of her hair as she stopped to shake hands and chat," James tells The Sun. "When Kate is on top of her game she has three 'tells:' her posture is upright with her arms held down at her sides; her smile involves dimpling and her nose wrinkles in a gesture of playful fun. Kate arrived here using at least one of those ‘tells’, walking with her arms hanging to her sides."

The second "tell" came when Kate reacted to the crowd's standing ovation. Per James, "Pausing to create a very sweet and touching tie-sign as an expression of bashful, surprised, looking delight, Kate showed her second signature ‘tell’ of genuine pleasure as the dimpled smile appeared as she raised one hand in a low, non-formal but very personal wave of acknowledgment and thanks."

The third ~tell~ came when Kate instructed Princess Charlotte on where to sit (check out the video above ^^). "Gently ushering Charlotte into her seat, Kate finally performed her third ‘tell’ of fun and good-humour as her nose wrinkled as she laughed with the woman in the seat beside her."

Got it! All in all a good day for Kate!
