When Prince William passed Kate Middleton 'smile of pure affection'

Prince William and Kate Middleton showcased their love in public at a rare occasion in the past, says expert.

Body language guru Judi James tells Express.co.uk how the Prince and Princess of Wales showcased 'passion' during the early days of their marriage.

According to Judi, “perhaps the most openly romantic gesture from the couple came during their Canadian tour of 2011”.

The expert then recalls how William heartily embraced his wife after a dragon boat race.

She stated: “There was an air of sporting competitiveness in the air, which always seems to bring out the signals of passion from William and Kate and this hug looked spontaneously romantic.

“William pulls Kate right in against his torso and under his armpit for this cuddle and gazes at her face with a smile of pure affection.

“It’s Kate looking slightly bashful here, placing a loving hand on his ribs while the people around watch and smile in a way to show total appreciation for the gesture.”

William and Kate have been married for 12 years and share children Princess George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.
