Prince William appeared 'nervous and a bit intimidated' during important meeting in France

According to Stanton, Trump demonstrated a modified version of his usual handshake technique when greeting Prince William.

"I think Trump knows a relationship between himself and William is important," said Stanton, speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino.

"He's not necessarily doing his signature handshake with William, but he did a version of it."

The expert noted Trump's use of an open palm gesture, which differed from his typical downward-facing hand position or firm grip, suggesting a show of mutual respect.

The expert observed clear signs of unease from Prince William during the meeting.

He explained: "There's one photo of William where he looks a bit on edge, a bit nervous, he's sat on the settee and I think he looks a bit intimated."

Trump's body language, in contrast, projected dominance through his use of space.

"Trump is spread out and creating more space, he wants to appear the more dominant, powerful person," noted Stanton, adding that Trump's technique of extending his hand made William appear "minuscule in shot".

Despite the power dynamics on display, Stanton noted the genuine nature of the interaction between the two figures.

"I don't see any signs of inauthenticity and no fake smiles," he said.

Stanton pointed out that Trump typically "will flash contempt when he has no respect," but showed none of these signs during his meeting with Prince William.

The body language expert observed that Trump's leaning in towards William indicated genuine warmth, stating "he genuinely likes William".

He added that William showed no signs of issues with Trump "from a non verbal perspective."
