Kate Middleton: Handwriting expert says Duchess of Cambridge's signature 'means business'
KATE MIDDLETON, the Duchess of Cambridge's signature was shared yesterday by Kensington Palace. Appearing on a letter of support to a children’s charity, expert Tracey Trussell revealed what it really says about her.
Duchess of Cambridge arrives with George and Charlotte
Kate Middleton, 36, has had a busy couple of weeks, despite taking time off from royal duties to be with her newborn son Prince Louis, born April 23.
Last weekend the Duchess of Cambridge wowed in pale-yellow Alexander McQueen at the Royal Wedding, a coat she has previously worn three times before.
Always high in the style stakes, Kate finished her elegant look with a stunning Philip Traecy fascinator, nude Jimmy Choo heels and her rumoured ‘push present’ from husband Prince William, a giant citrine stone ring.
At the nuptials of brother-in-law Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Kate shepherded bridesmaid Princess Charlotte and page boys Prince George, showing off her maternal side.
However, the Duchess of Cambridge was noticeably absent from Prince Charles’ 70th birthday celebrations, but that didn’t stop Kensington Palace retweeting a message of support from the mum-of-three.
“Catherine's signature is regally poised, but it means business"
The support was for children’s charity EACH, a collection of hospices across East Anglia for terminally ill children.
The charity’s Twitter account posted a letter of support written to them by Kate, praising the hospices for their ‘remarkable and life-changing’ support to children.
While the letter of support itself was typed-up, Kate’s hand-written signature is boldly visible at the bottom of the page, simple signed ‘Catherine’.
Handwriting analysis and consultant graphologist Tracey Trussel examined the Duchess’ signature, and the results behind it will come as no surprise.
Speaking to Express.co.uk, Tracey revealed: “Our signature is our public image - it's the face we show to the world. Still, like taking a peek inside a shop window, our signature reflects our inner desires.”
Going on to analyse the Duchess’ bold autograph, Tracey continued: “Catherine's signature is regally poised, but it means business.
“The very large size highlights her bold enthusiasm to get involved with large projects, and the loops in the tall letters shows the imagination she skilfully weaves into her business.
"There's a healthy mix of letter structures and garland connecting strokes which highlights her excellent social skills, and ability to carry out her duties with warmth, willingness and flexibility.”
Known for taking pride in her charity work and royal patronages, the Duchess of Cambridge is a strong advocate for matters involving children, and this is clearly shown in the signing of her letter to Each.
“She's proud of her work, and this is reflected in the large capital letter ‘C’,” continued the handwriting expert.
“The pointed tips of the tall stems show her ambitious desires, and all the letters all joined together reveals that she will work methodically and single-mindedly to a happy conclusion.
“Nothing will stop her, until she's achieved what she hopes to achieve. The long t-bar reveals her driving energy, and means she's happy to take charge, and the full stop at the end means that Catherine will have the last word! All very positive stuff!”
Despite giving birth just over a month ago, the 36-year-old has already gained back her pre-baby figure.
Just days before the Royal Wedding, royal expert Katie Nicholls revealed to Lorraine Kelly she had spotted the Duchess of Cambridge in Kensington Palace Gardens looking “thin as a pin”.
“She had no blow dry, straight hair, big sunglasses and she was pushing Louis in the pram and she had little Charlotte with her and she looked amazing,” Katie told the TV host.
