Prince William and wife Kate Middleton have been out and about completing a string of engagements today.
And according to body language expert Derek Heron, the couple are looking relaxed in each other's company after recently celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary.
The royal couple carried out official engagements in Wolverhampton to make Mental Health Awareness week, visiting three local organisations that support young people with their mental health and wellbeing.
In one photo of the Duke and Duchess can be seen mirroring each other's body language as they sat aside one another. "William and Kate are mirroring one another to a considerable degree," body language expert Derek Heron explains, "right down to the slight tilt of the head, amazing."
Derek adds that this is a "great sign" for the couple. He adds: "it's an indication of rapport, they are definitely on the same wavelength and are in an emotionally strong relationship. They are very much in tune with one another…. Both William and Kate are leaning in slightly, showing an interest in the topic being discussed. Their eyes are focused on the speaker."
Another shot shows the couple smiling as they spent time tending to pots filled with flowers. According to Derek, the royals seemed very relaxed in each other's company.
"Both Kate and William are displaying relaxed postures although Kate appears more at home with plants than William," Derek explains.
The expert adds: "Kate is presenting a wonderfully natural open smile and her eyes are smiling to, she’s genuinely enjoying herself, comfortable and relaxed. "
When it came to William's body language, Derek added: "William is smiling and although engaged in the activity a little less so than Kate."
Derek concluded: "The couple’s bodies are both angled slightly towards one another, again a sign that the are still enjoying a strong loving relationship, very much in tune with each other."
