Prince William beams with joy as he begins new chapter of life with Kate

Prince William and Princess Kate began a new chapter of life after the future Queen's difficult journey with cancer.

The Prince and Princess of Wales made a joint appearance to join key royal figures in the commemoration of Commonwealth Day at Westminster Abbey.

The royal couple shared some delightful moments with each other, hinting at the beginning of the 'positive' phase of life after brutal 2024.

Body language expert Judi James told The Mirror, "Since Kate's illness, they have been extra tactile and totally connected during their public appearances, using every opportunity to use touches, glances or mimed hugs to move together coupled up like ice skaters or ballroom dancers."

However, at this event, William and Catherine "performed the equivalent of 'free' movement, putting in their professional appearance in a more traditionally regal way but moving while apart in synchronised, mirrored unity as they did so."

The Prince of Wales was beaming with joy as he felt "pride" to see his wife shine again following cancer recovery.

"What this showed was a more relaxed approach with no need to check or employ tie-signs. It appeared to signal they were both on strong, repaired form for this event, keeping their signals of utter fondness to a minimum while still keeping totally in sync," the expert stated.
