The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge displayed a loved-up "wedding day glow" at the Earthshot Prize awards ceremony, a body language expert has claimed.
Stunning black-and-white photos from the night capture a rare moment of public affection between the pair, as Kate puts her arm around her husband while chatting to other people.
Kate is also caught grinning at William with a twinkle in her eye as they walk through the curtains to enter the stage.
Body language expert Judi James says the photos show the pair are as loved up as they were on their wedding day, more than 10 years ago.

She said: "These romantic monochrome photos have an almost wedding-day feel to them, especially the one where they are both bursting out through double doors with William throwing a smile and a comment back at his wife, who responds with a rather flirty-looking grin of appreciation."
Judi added the pair always look like they really enjoy attending red-carpet events, which "can tend to put a bit of a sparkle in both their eyes."
She said Kate was unleashing "her inner movie star" with her glamorous cocktail dress, while Wills had "been raiding his James Bond dressing up box."
Judi spotted parallels between these photos and a set taken on the couple's wedding day in April 2011.
"The silhouette pose looks like a direct reconstruction of William’s pose as he waited at the top of the aisle for Kate to arrive on their wedding day, with his hands clasped in front of his torso and his head tilted back in a look of romantic reflection," she said.
And she spotted signs from Kate that she's happier than ever in her husband's company.
"The body language glow-up since their marriage is seen in the pose where it’s Kate with her arm around her husband’s waist rather than the other way round though," Judi said.
"Back-touch PDAs are usually from William to his wife but here she’s instigating the gesture of affection and support, perhaps in a signal of romantic-looking congratulation for a successfully global event.
"It’s their eye contact again though that really sends out the messages of both mutual appreciation and moments of undivided attention on what was a busy night."
