Princess Kate took a "central position" on Remembrance Sunday amid Camilla's health scare, according to a body language expert.
Judi James said that the royal, who has attended back-to-back public appearances across two days for the first time since she announced her cancer diagnosis, had a "relaxed-looking confidence" as she took Camilla's position in the centre of the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office balcony.
The Princess of Wales observed the service with Sophie, the Duchess of Edinburgh after Camilla pulled out of making public appearances at Remembrance services on the weekend as she continues to battle a chest infection.
James said: "She was seen chatting and smiling gently with Sophie on the balcony and, with Camilla not attending, she appeared to move into central position with Sophie standing to her side, with relaxed-looking confidence."

James added that the future Queen's body language and styling "showed a return to what looked like full regal form."
He told the Mail Online: "Her facial expression became sombre once we heard the chimes of Big Ben and there was a more contained version of her clearly emotional signalling that we saw at the concert the evening before."
"Then she appeared tearful, but here her sadness registered with a fiercely regal look of stoic reflection."
"Even her fascinator and the way she wore her hair swept up looked like a re-run of one of her most iconic regal moments when she was photographed in the car, in her Covid face mask, at Philip's funeral, looking fiercely elegant and regal and so much like a future queen."

Princess Kate was the most senior Royal Family member on the balcony as King Charles and Prince William led the nation during the service.
The princess attended the Festival of Remembrance at the Royal Albert Hall on Saturday evening alongside Prince William, and she was visibly moved by the service.
Vice Admiral Sir Tim Laurence, the Duke of Kent and the Duchess of Glouchester also viewed the service from the balconies.
Dressed in a black military-style jacket, the princess wore her traditional three poppies - a poignant tribute to her great-grandmother's three brothers who lost their lives during the First World War.
