Donald Trump had Kate Middleton as his table companion during his UK state visit earlier this week. Then something very unusual happened, according to a body language expert.

Donald Trump and his wife Melania have spent several of the last few days on a high-profile state visit to the UK. With great pomp and ceremony, the British Royal Family, led by King Charles and his wife Queen Camilla, welcomed the US president and first lady to the isles.

Donald Trump invited to the UK for the second time
Trump also had a meeting with the country’s Prime Minister Keir Starmer, and on Thursday the duo presented a tech pact worth billions of pounds.

The invitation came to the White House in February, making Trump the first president in modern times to make a second state visit to the UK. Many have described it as a British charm offensive to appease President Trump.

In addition, the Royal Family invited the US president and his wife to a state banquet in Windsor.

Kate Middleton’s move to set Donald Trump straight at state banquet
Trump had Kate Middleton as his table companion, and the two seemed to enjoy each other’s company immensely. According to body language specialist Bruce Durham, it may even have gone so far that Kate won over the American president.

“Look how regal she looks, how straight she looks – and [she’s] looking at Donald Trump like a childish, impish-type comment has been made,” Durham told the Mirror.

He added: “This is important because when is Donald Trump never the alpha? So there is something going on here in that either Kate has an effect on him, or there is a narrative in his head which results in him raising his shoulders, retracting his head, with Kate the alpha, Donald the beta.”

It has long been known that Trump has a soft spot for the British Royal Family. He also showered Kate with praise during the state visit.

“To see Her Royal Highness, Princess Catherine, so radiant and so healthy, and so beautiful. It’s really a great honour, thank you,” Donald Trump said.
