“In January I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time my condition was thought to be non-cancerous. The surgery was successful. However, subsequent tests discovered that there was cancer.” These were the words of Kate Middleton that were published at 7:00 p.m. this Friday, in a message recorded last Wednesday in the BBC studios, under a very high level of secrecy.
The announcement by the Princess of Wales has shaken British news and social media worldwide, which for weeks has speculated with different reasons about the erratic behavior of the British royal house in the last two months. On Fridays!, the Telecinco nighttime program presented by Beatriz Archidona and Santi Acosta, has begun its broadcast with an extensive analysis of what happened during that day.
Ainoa Paredes, Informativos Telecinco correspondent in London, was able to give some details at the doors of Buckingham Palace, while different aspects emerged on the set. One of them has been the behavior of the princess in the video, specifically her non-verbal communication. Patrycia Centeno, an expert in this branch, has expressed how Middleton could be based on the images broadcast.
Centeno assured that the most prominent element of his figure is always the smile, which on this occasion was absent. A fact that has been associated with feeling low in morale after what happened. However, he highlighted at the same time a gesture that reinforced positive thinking and a more forward attitude. This occurred while Middleton dedicated part of the speech to his family.
But the most important thing is that it has taken us time to explain everything to George, Charlotte and Louis, in a way that is appropriate for them and to reassure them that I am going to be okay. As I have told you, I am fine and I am getting stronger every day by focusing on the things that would help me heal, in my mind, body and spirit,” were his words. Centeno has assured that it has been a “forceful” moment.
Likewise, he insisted that it could be a way of thinking with a clearer mind, without negativity. Beatriz Archidona also pointed out the possibility of not being dramatic when faced with an announcement of these characteristics. “Kate Middleton is a very discreet person, she always has been. In fact, she was one of the values, of the qualities that Queen Elizabeth always valued,” commented the non-verbal communication expert, insisting that it was also an emotional message.
