Female royals often sit in a posture known as the "Cambridge Cross" or "Duchess Slant" to maintain decorum and elegance.
Here's a breakdown of the technique:
- Knees Together: Keep your knees closely together.
- Ankle Cross: Cross your ankles, ensuring they remain touching.
- Feet on the Ground: Maintain flat feet on the ground. This provides stability and proper posture.
- Slanting: The "Duchess Slant" involves angling the legs slightly to one side. This can make the legs appear longer and helps prevent wardrobe malfunctions.
This sitting style is favored because it is both graceful and practical, allowing for comfort while maintaining a polished appearance during public engagements.
