WHETHER she’s walking the red carpet or playing sports at a public engagement, Princess Kate always looks flawless in the photos.
According to a style expert, the royal mum-of-three has a simple trick to ensuring every picture looks perfect from her outings.
Royal style expert Miranda Holder claimed that it’s all about how Kate positions her chin.
She explained that the Princess of Wales, 43, has been “trained to always keep her chin parallel to the ground.”
The fashion pro added: “She doesn’t tilt it down, she doesn’t tilt it up, and that ensures a flattering photograph every single time.”
Professional photographer Olivia West agreed that Kate’s chin posture is key to her great shots and avoids her having a “chinny grin.”
She explained to Fabulous: “Kate always does the ‘out and down’ with the chin which makes your face look much better.
“Most people bring their chin back when they smile causing a kind of chinny grin which isn’t flattering.
“I always tell people to imagine they are looking over a fence, you slide your chin over then just dip the chin – you can’t pull it back because the fence is in the way.”
And it’s not the only hack that Kate does to nail her shots.
Olivia shared three tricks the Princess of Wales does in front of the camera that could help anyone look less awkward in photos…

Holds arms out for ‘slimming’ position
Kate’s posture is always impeccable, despite her having to walk in stilettos for extended periods of time during engagements.
Olivia claims the royal has a trick for how she positions her arms to look polished.
The professional photographer continued: “When she is standing she often holds her arms in front of her waist.
“This makes a gap between her arms and body which shows off her svelte figure and is a very slimming pose.”
2. Only waves from the elbow
When they are out in public, the royals often showcase their “royal waves”, with Prince Louis’ adorable greeting stealing the show at the Coronation.
To avoid looking too informal during the movement, Kate has a specific strategy.
The photographer observed that Kate doesn’t move her entire arm when she acknowledges the public.
Olivia explained: “Even when she is waving she only moves the arm from the elbow.”
3. Keeps her shoulders down
Kate also has a simple trick for keeping her stance looking elegant when she is smiling at an event.
Olivia advised: “She keeps her shoulders down where a lot of people raise them when smiling.”
So there we have it – if you are ever wanting to not look awkward in photos, these tips could be worth a try.
