Princess Kate’s ‘bone crusher handshake’ with rugby players has ‘secret’ meaning
The Princess of Wales showed off her “bone crusher handshake” at the Rugby World Cup in France on Sunday, October 15.
The royal, who attended the match between England and Fiji on Sunday, has been praised for her confident solo appearance.
Following England’s victory, Princess Kate met some of the England players to congratulate them on their amazing win.
According to body language expert Darren Stanton, Kate greeted them all with a “fantastic handshake”.
Speaking of one particular photo captured, the expert said: “There’s a fantastic picture of Kate in the dressing room, where she’s shaking the hands of the rugby players.”

Speaking on behalf of Betfair Slots, he added: “If you zoom in on that you can see it’s a real bone crusher handshake, which is in a positive sense.
“It’s not a weak handshake, she’s got a really good grip.”
He continued: “She went on to place her right hand on one of the rugby players. This is normally seen as a power gesture, but we know Kate isn’t like it.
“It’s a general gesture of respect and rapport from her towards the other person.”

“The rugby player appeared a little bit overwhelmed.”
The expert also spoke of Kate’s change in confidence, referring to how she used to be “pretty quiet” during royal duties.
