Princess Kate breaks composure at Windsor state banquet

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Princess of Wales smiled at Prince William while King Charles was giving a speech, and HELLO! is calling it a break in composure.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorIt happened at the state banquet for the Sultan of Oman at Windsor Castle on the twentieth of October.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWith us is Philippa Oduya-Lindqvist, Director General of the Institute for Public Poise. Is a smile a breach?

4. PO

   Philippa Oduya-LindqvistYes, and I'm ringing the bell on it.

5. PO

   Philippa Oduya-LindqvistStrictly speaking, that was incident one. Four seconds. Three and a half if you discount the part where he smiled back.

6. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorFour seconds at her husband during a speech. What does your institute call that?

7. PO

   Philippa Oduya-LindqvistA warm deviation. And it's a pattern, because in July she lost it on a podium at the charity polo match in Windsor.

8. PO

   Philippa Oduya-LindqvistStrictly speaking, we measure that one in giggles, and then in half giggles.

9. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorAnd in May, a pasta machine handle hit the floor in Reggio Emilia. Was that a breach?

10. PO

    Philippa Oduya-LindqvistA mechanical breach. The handle did the breaching. Strictly speaking, we log the eyebrow separately, and it moved twice.

11. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorTwice.

12. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo that's a podium, a pasta machine and a husband since May. Your rating for the Princess's composure?

13. PO

    Philippa Oduya-LindqvistEight out of ten, strictly speaking. Eight and a quarter, and the quarter is a matter for my lawyers.

14. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThen by your own measure, Philippa, you've been in breach this entire interview.
