Alizee Thevenet, the wife of James Middleton and sister-in-law to Catherine, Princess of Wales, may play a significant role in supporting Kate as she transitions into her future responsibilities as Queen. Dr. Cassidy, a Royal Commentator and Celebrity Psychologist, feels that Thevenet’s new role could lend a steadiness, soothing strength to the royal family’s image. He argues that she would make an excellent “traveling companion” for them.
Most recently, Alizee and James were seen together at Wimbledon, where the two showed off their incredibly tight bond. The joint engagements give a taste of their enthusiasm for being dynamic, modern royals and the couple’s public life. Thevenet has a good relationship with Carole Middleton, Kate’s mother. They were spotted up close together taking in the thrills at Royal Ascot, an event where their bond seemed to blossom even more.
Dr. Cassidy reacted to Thevenet’s nonverbal communication in these occurrences and described her “natural warmth of expression. He pointed out that her facial gestures often convey positivity and optimism, which could be beneficial as she navigates her role within the Middleton family.
“The eye gaze shows interest and is fully congruent with her bright, wide smile.” – Dr. Cassidy
At Royal Ascot, Thevenet was seen with a “semi-closed lip smile.” Dr. Cassidy pointed out that this might indicate he was contemplating Princess Kate’s absence. Additionally, he said that Thevenet was frequently showing a downward gaze dip, a sign of submission to Carole Middleton.
This first impression is quite important in a family dynamic, especially the impression made by a mother of the bride to a future daughter-in-law. He stated, “As psychologists, we know that first impressions play a highly significant special role in bonding to each other.” He feels that these initial encounters are important for setting the tone for a comfortable and caring relationship.
“Potentially she can learn the rudiments of negotiating her pathway into the Middleton family and hopefully becoming a source of strength, hope and optimism to our future Queen Princess Kate.” – Dr. Cassidy
These first impressions matter to Carole Middleton, because they guide the way she engages with Alizee Thevenet. Their togetherness at events such as Royal Ascot shows an affectionate relationship, which may help the family stay united and joyful.
