Although Roger Federer and Kate Middleton appear chummy — Federer has been giving Prince George private tennis lessons, according to Hello! magazine — Middleton had to ensure that she was keeping in line with royal protocol, even if Federer wasn’t. Jess Ponce III tells The List that Federer genuinely seemed happy to see his friend, perhaps even forgetting that she is the Princess of Wales. As we expected, however, Middleton handled things with class. “She, without breaking protocol or appearing to be upset did not respond or encourage the friendly exchange,” Ponce notes. “She lives in a world of appropriate behavior, so she’s always very aware of protocol, where he is not,” she added.
As we see in the videos of the interaction, Middleton did not lean into Federer or encourage him to go through with the hug, which, Ponce says, should have sent a clear message to him. “In the end, she treated him kindly, and did not correct him. But, he got the point, and seem to quickly fall in line. I doubt he’ll do it again,” the body language expert predicts.
