Several members of the Spice Girls were left ‘furious’ this week after unflattering details from a conversation emerged in court documents, according to reports.

Mel B, Geri Halliwell and Emma Bunton are said to have been left red-faced after a private conversation between the group was leaked in a defamation case.

According to The Sun, Mel B told her bandmates Geri and Emma that ‘charity doesn’t pay the bills’, during an apparent discussion about reuniting for a gig.

The publication reported that the leaked messages – which were revealed as part of a defamation case in the United States on Wednesday – have infuriated the stars.

It is expected that the embarrassment will continue over a catty exchange between the three band members over their now close-pal Victoria Beckham.

While the group are seemingly thick as thieves again now, there is apparently a string of emails gossiping about the way Victoria acted at the Viva Forever! West End musical premiere on December 11, 2012.

The fashion designer delayed the curtain call of the West End musical based on the Spice Girls’ biggest hits by 15 minutes after getting stuck in traffic.

Once she arrived, she decided to set separately from the rest of the group, taking her seat two rows behind the other women with her husband David and their kids.

According to the publications insider, Victoria’s snub did not go down well with Mel B in particular.

The move came just months after the group lauded ‘girl power’ and reunited as a five-piece at the London Olympics closing ceremony.

It has also been reported that they called in legal assistance in case Victoria tried to stop them from going ahead with a potential tour.

Years later, Mel B, Geri and Emma are said to have planned a comeback – which never happened – without Victoria and Mel C.

It is awkward timing for the group, who now on seemingly good terms after recently celebrating Victoria’s 50th birthday together at her party in London.

Hopefully the emergence of a group chat between Geri, Emma and Mel B won’t cause any tension between the pals.

The report claims that after Mel commented that ‘charity doesn’t pay’, Geri told her that she ‘hopes nobody ever hacks your texts’.

Mel allegedly responded: ‘Why? My texts are fine,’ before adding: ‘Like I said charity doesn’t pay the bills everyone knows that.’

The source said: ‘This is highly embarrassing for the girls as it doesn’t exactly chime with their core messages. But obviously it was a fair few years ago now and they’ve all kissed and made up since then.

‘Just look at how happy they were together celebrating Victoria’s 50th birthday back in April, belting out their greatest hits together after a few drinks. The hatchet is well and truly buried.’

MailOnline contacted a representative for the Spice Girls for comment.

The leak will be unwelcome news to Geri, who has already been engulfed in a leaked messages scandal with her husband Christian Horner earlier this year.

On Wednesday, Geri made her first public appearance alone on at the Hay Festival where she is promoting her latest book, Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen.

Geri beamed as she held a signing for her new novel which features main character Rosie, the star describes as ‘a new kind of hero for today’s young readers.’

One onlooker said: ‘Geri looked really smiley and happy. She was having her photo take with loads of kids and even two female police officers who had used their lunch break to meet her.

‘There were lots of people queuing to see their favourite Spice Girl.’

Before her talk the former Spice Girl hung out in the festival’s authors tent alongside the BBC football pundit, Gary Lineker.

According to an insider, Geri was in great spirits asking the staff ‘thousands’ of questions, taking interest in fellow speakers and asking for copies of books – in particular, one about the importance of mushrooms.

However, she refused to address her anguish over leaked flirtatious messages which her husband of nine years, Red Bull boss Christian, allegedly sent to a female colleague when asked by the Mail.

In February he found himself under investigation following an accusation of ‘inappropriate behaviour’, for which he was later cleared.

The woman, in her 40s, went to HR at the Formula 1 team after she received the messages from Horner, often late at night.

She accused him of ‘coercive behaviour’ but an internal inquiry chaired by an unknown KC appointed by Red Bull cleared him. Horner has strongly denied any wrongdoing.

Oprah Winfrey has hope for the royal family, but is she really someone who should be weighing in?

On Sunday, the talk show host sat down with  to discuss her upcoming Apple TV+ documentary  about the late acting legend Sidney Poitier while at the Toronto Film Festival. In the process, she was asked to discuss her thoughts on another kind of legend: the legendary feud between the royal family! Something she knows a thing or two about since she was the one to interview Prince Harry and Meghan Markle during their explosive tell-all chat in 2020!

When asked by reporter Jenn Lahmers if Queen Elizabeth II’s death will be a chance for the couple to “heal some wounds” with the rest of the royals, Oprah mused:

“Well, this is what I think, I think in all families — you know, my father passed recently, this summer, and when all families come together for a common ceremony, the ritual of, you know, burying your dead, there’s an opportunity for peacemaking… And hopefully, there will be that.”

Seems like she’s got her fingers crossed that the family will mend their broken fences! Hear her discuss the sticky situation between the famous family (below)!

It’s not the first time we’ve heard this sentiment! Earlier this week, sources told the  that Harry and Prince William’s cousin Peter Phillips could help pull them together in this dark time — and he’s already acting as a “peacemaker.” Sounds like just about everyone is hoping to see the brothers unite again, and not just for show. But only time will tell if they can truly forgive and forget. Meanwhile, fans are having a hard time forgetting Oprah’s history with the royal family — and her involvement in the feud!

After the interview hit the internet, royal fans were outraged to hear the media personality discussing the family’s feud considering she helped ignite it by hosting Harry and Meghan’s CBS special. Fans argued on Twitter:

“Oprah talks about ‘burying the dead’ and says she hopes it will help Prince Harry and Meghan ‘make peace’ with the royals. She’s priceless isn’t she. Never scrutinised a word [Harry and Meghan] said… She calls herself a serious talk show host.”

“Oprah forgets she started this. Maybe an apology would help with the peacemaking.”

“Oprah, you had plenty of opportunities to ask real questions and dispute some of the things said. But, you didn’t. And trying to convince the public that this wasn’t choreographed to the nth degree? Come on, Sis. You can’t fool us anymore…”

“Hey @Oprah if you cared for that family you wouldn’t have given them a platform to badmouth the RF family. After your interview the anger between them widened. So stop the BS talk.”

“Oprah has a cheek, when she provided the platform for Meghan to trash our Queen and Royal Family – and encouraged her!”

Yeesh!!

Is Oprah really to blame?! There’s a reason Harry and Meghan left the UK! Things were pretty f**ked up before the special…

While the interview did give the controversy a larger platform, it’s not like she had anything to do with the bombshells her guests decided to reveal. And it’s likely the Duke and Duchess of Sus𝓈ℯ𝓍 would have found someone else to interview them if Oprah said no. At the end of the day, they’re the ones who opened their mouths, and only they and the other royals really know the truth about what happened behind the scenes.

But what do YOU think, Perezcious readers? Does Oprah owe an apology? Is it rude of her to be commenting on the drama because of her history with Harry and Meghan? Sound OFF (below)!

The recent rumors surrounding Prince William, Kate Middleton, and Rose Hanbury have sent shockwaves through the British Royal Family and the public alike. Reports suggest that Rose Hanbury, a close friend of Kate Middleton’s, may be pregnant with Prince William’s child, leading to speculation about the state of William and Kate’s marriage.

The situation is complicated by rumors that Prince William is allegedly having an affair with Rose Hanbury. These rumors surfaced in 2019, prompting Kate Middleton to sever ties with Rose amid reports of William’s infidelity. The alleged affair reportedly took place while Kate was pregnant with their third child, Prince Louis.

Rose Hanbury, an aristocrat and socialite, has been at the center of speculation for years due to her close relationship with the royal couple. Despite attending major royal events and being a part of William and Kate’s inner circle, Rose’s rumored affair with William has cast a shadow over their friendship.

Adding another layer to the controversy is the speculation surrounding Rose Hanbury’s husband, David Cholmondeley, the Marquess of Cholmondeley. Rumors suggest that David may be gay and allegedly has a long-term romantic relationship with a French novelist and photographer, François-Marie Banier. Some speculate that David’s marriage to Rose was arranged to secure a male heir for his estate.

The situation has sparked intense scrutiny and debate among royal watchers and the public. Many are questioning the authenticity of William and Kate’s marriage and whether the royal family is being transparent about the situation. Some are calling for greater accountability and transparency from the monarchy, particularly considering the use of taxpayer funds to support their lifestyle.

As the rumors continue to circulate and speculation mounts, the British Royal Family finds itself embroiled in yet another scandal, further fueling calls for reform and modernization within the institution. The truth behind the rumors remains unclear, but the ongoing speculation underscores the intense public interest in the private lives of the royals and the complexities of their relationships.

Royal photographer Arthur Edwards MBE told Matt Wilkinson, host of The Sun’s new show Royal Exclusive, that the Sussexes’ big interview with Oprah Winfrey was “so one-sided”.

During the March 2021 interview, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle made a series of shocking allegations.

The pair sparked a race row by alleging an unnamed member of the Royal Family spoke about “how dark his (Archie’s) skin might be when he’s born”.

During the Oprah interview, Meghan also said she was prevented from seeking mental health support when she was in crisis.

It’s understood the Royal Family were left deeply upset by the allegations made.

In the days following the interview airing in Britain, Prince William was forced into the unprecedented position of saying the royals “are very much not a racist family”.

He spoke out on an official visit to a school after the Queen had released a carefully-worded statement saying she was “saddened” by the interview but “recollections may vary”.

Omid Scobie’s early Dutch version of his hatchet-job book Endgame, which came out in 2023, suggested Kate Middleton and King Charles were the Royals who made remarks about Archie’s skin colour.

Speaking to Royal Exclusive, Arthur Edwards MBE said: “The first big interview they did with Oprah Winfrey… I think about watching it now and, you know, the thing about Archie and the colour of his skin and I was – I knew they’d be seething.

“I knew that the Queen would be seething, I knew that the Prince of Wales, Prince Charles would be seething, it would be so unfair because one thing they are not is racists. They are not.

“I’ve been with the King all over Africa, all over South America, I’ve never seen – only just engaging and enjoying the company of these people.

“So, you know, in no way would he be like that. He’s just a – it’s just an unfair thing to say.

“But, you know, she delivered it like an actress delivered it, and Oprah responded going ‘wow’.

“It was awful.”

Harry had told Oprah he felt let down by his family – and that he was barely speaking to his brother, describing their relationship as “space”.

He claimed his father Charles stopped taking his calls after Megxit and he was financially cut off by the Royal Family.

He also discussed his relationship with William, saying he loved him “to bits” but he and the future king were “on different paths”.

William was said to be “very upset” with the interview.

Arthur’s comments come after Princess Diana’s former bodyguard insisted the Royal Family are not racist – and said he never saw a hint of it in the 16 years he worked with them.

Speaking on The Sun’s Royal Exclusive show, Ken Wharfe said he was adamant there was no racism with The Firm – despite rumours swirling in recent years.

Omid Scobie’s early Dutch version of his hatchet-job book Endgame suggested Kate and Charles were the two members who made remarks about the skin colour of the pair’s first child.

But Ken, who worked alongside the royals for more than a decade, said this had to be wrong.

He told The Sun: “I worked with every single member of the royal family over 16 years.

“I never saw one hint of racism, the royal family are not racist.

“They represent the very best in my view. I’m not saying they’re perfect but on this particular subject, no they’re not.”

History of Royal Family racism claims

In a 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle alleged that an unnamed member of the Royal Family had raised concerns about their son Archie’s skin colour while Meghan was pregnant.

Speaking about her son, who was born in 2019, Meghan claimed there were “concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born”.

The couple refused to name the alleged royal racist but Oprah said she was told it was not the Queen or Prince Philip.

Queen Elizabeth II released a statement almost two days after the chat saying the claims would be taken “very seriously”.

She said allegations that a member of the family raised concerns over the colour of Archie’s skin would be investigated and “addressed privately”

A statement from the palace said: “The whole family is saddened to learn the full extent of how challenging the last few years have been for Harry and Meghan.

“The issues raised, particularly that of race, are concerning. Whilst some recollections may vary, they are taken very seriously and will be addressed by the family privately.

“Harry, Meghan and Archie will always be much loved family members.”

Prince Harry later went on to say that people shouldn’t be blamed for “unconscious bias”.

Speaking on a podcast with Dax Shepard in May 2021, Harry said “everyone has a bias of sorts”.

But he said “choosing to do nothing” when you realise you have “unconscious bias” is the problem.

Harry told the Armchair Expert podcast: “I thought I knew, having travelled so much and meet so many, such a diverse group as possible, I thought I understood life, especially bearing in mind the countries I was going to were people of colour.

“But then I was really shocked when I started doing therapy and that bubble was burst and I started doing my own work, like a lot of work to uncover and understand unconscious bias.

“And I was like wow, I thought since I screwed up and then did the work, I thought I then knew but I didn’t and I still don’t fully know. It’s a constant working process and every one of us has it.”

Harry told Dax the “world is changing” with a “multi-racial” movement happening driven by young people.

He added: “Unconscious bias, the way I understand it, it’s not something that’s wrong with you, you don’t have to be defensive about it. No one is blaming you, but the moment you realise you have it, what are you going to do about it?

“Because if you choose to do nothing, then you are continuing to fuel the problem, you are heading towards racism.

“Unconscious bias is inherent unfortunately in every single one of us, but it’s important to educate yourself to be more aware of the problems and be part of the solution.”

Omid Scobie’s early Dutch version of his book Endgame suggested Kate and Charles were the two Royals who made remarks about the skin colour of Harry and Meghan’s first child, Archie.

The poisonous claims were pilloried by Royal experts and in the fall out Scobie was blasted for peddling “bulls**t” excuses about how the names were included in the Dutch translation.

The book was released in November 2023.

In the English version Scobie writes: “In the pages of these private letters, two identities were revealed. UK laws prevent me from reporting who they were.”

QUEEN ELIZABETH II had a very good sense of humour, according to one royal insider. Her former Royal Protection Officer recalled a practical joke she pulled on an unsuspecting couple.

As the country mourns Queen Elizabeth II, many Britons will reminisce on the monarch’s fine character, including her humour.

 

During the Platinum Jubilee celebrations in June, former Royal Protection Officer Richard Griffin told Sky News about a prank the Queen played at Balmoral.

The royal insider revealed that he could think of “101 examples” of the Queen’s “wit and charm” when he worked as the Queen’s Police Officer.

However, he recalled one of his “favourite stories” of the Queen’s fabulous sense of humour.

Richard revealed that the Queen used to visit Craigowan house in Balmoral for a weekend in May.

She used to like to have picnics in the area, which were typically uneventful.

Usually, it would just be the Queen and Richard on these outings, and the pair would “meet nobody”.

But there was one particular outing when they ran into two tourists.

These were Americans who happened to be on a walking holiday in the area.

 

It was immediately obvious that the visitors “did not recognise the Queen” and they spoke to her as if she was a regular commoner.

The tourists asked the Queen where she lived, to which she replied: “I live in London, but I’ve got a holiday home on the other side of the hills.”

The Queen revealed she had been coming up to the area for about 80 years, ever since she was a little girl.

One of the tourists, oblivious, suggested that if she had been to the area so many times, perhaps she had met the Queen.

The modest monarch didn’t let on to who she was at all, and proceeded to fool the travellers.

Richard recalled that “as quick as a flash” the Queen responded: “Well I haven’t, but Dick here meets her regularly.”

The tourists then focussed their attention on Richard, who asked him what the Queen was really like.

He joked that the monarch could be a little bit “cantankerous” but a “lovely sense of humour”.

One of the tourists gave his camera to the Queen and asked her if she could take a picture with Richard.

Richard concluded: “Then we swapped places and I took a picture of them with the Queen and I never let on.”

Later, HRH joked to Richard that she would love to be “a fly on the wall” when she penny finally drops for the travellers.

They joked that the travellers would show their friends pictures of the Queen and Richard – only to be told who they really were.

Meghan and Harry were recently photographed having dinner with Princess Eugenie and her husband Jack Brooksbank in Hollywood.

Meghan’s body language in front of paparazzi suggests she is not ‘uncomfortable’ – claim (Image: Getty)

Body language expert Jesus Enrique Rosas shared on his YouTube channel The Body Language Guy “the clues” that expose how these photos “are staged to look like someone broke into their privacy”. Jesus Enrique suggested that Meghan and Harry could have planned these pictures and they may enjoy being photographed by paparazzi.

The body language guru suggested that “the first thing you notice is the facial expressions, and oh my God… why is our forever glorious Duchess opening her mouth like that?”

He claimed that Meghan’s expression is exaggerated as she looks extremely excited, which is “strange” when having a casual dinner with friends at a restaurant.

“It’s really nice that the paparazzi made sure that every single shot of Meghan had her laughing or smiling,” he opined.

The body language guru claimed: “We have a paparazzi who took great care to picture Meghan and Harry like they are really glad to be there.”

Amazon just launched its latest site-wide sale. Not all of these discounts are worthy of your time, but we’ve found the 23 best Amazon Spring Sale deals with genuine record-low prices. Better hurry as the sale ends soon!

He pointed out that “it was such a coincidence that Jack,” Princess Eugenie’s husband, “was the only one with his back turned”.

The expert opined that Jack sitting there is “interesting” and claimed that Meghan and Harry may have taken the spot where paparazzi would be able to see them.

Jesus Enrique suggested that it is also bizarre how Harry’s top security “lets the paparazzi get near the Duchess”.

“And if they want so much privacy, why are they sitting outdoors, right beside a glass railing… It doesn’t make sense that if you want privacy, you dine in such an open place,” he opined.

Prince Harry voted second most popular royal to succeed King Charles, in shocking new poll

Prince Harry is the surprising second choice to be the next monarch in a new poll, despite his attacks on the Royal Family in his memoir Spare and Netflix TV series. In first place was the first in line to the throne Prince William, who received the vast majority of the votes for who should succeed their father King Charles.

The body language concluded that this could be “a lousy attempt at staging paparazzi photos” and the couple could have planned the “encounter”.

Royal watchers took to the comments section to share their thoughts with @ShortsBetaCompil saying the body language expert “forgot to mention” one point: “The flash reflection on the plastic shows that the photographer used a flash which is noticeable.

“They should have changed tables immediately or turn their back so he wouldn’t have been able to take so many shots if they wanted privacy,” she opined.

In fact, this is not the first time a body language expert claims that Meghan has a good relationship with the paparazzi.

Expert Judi James recently told Express.co.uk that an “interesting behaviour” could be observed when the Duchess of Sussex visited Harvest Home for International Women’s Day last month.

Meghan was photographed leaving a restaurant in Hollywood with her assistant and as a group of paparazzi approached her, her assistant seemed to hide from the cameras.

Judi commented: “Meghan’s behaviour with her assistant here is interesting. As they walk together up towards the cameras it’s the assistant who opts to step behind Meghan and out of view.

“She also keeps her head down and seems keen to ensure it’s Meghan they [the photographers] get the shots of, which does imply Meghan is not uncomfortable or unhappy with being snapped in the US, or else she might try to form a barrier from the cameras.”

The body language expert added: “Meghan goes to walk on but her instinctive reaction does seem to be to check her assistant is okay and put an arm out to urge her forward towards the car. It’s the assistant who puts her arm out to override Meghan and get her to carry on first before seeing her safely in the car.”

Meghan even spoke to the photographers. A paparazzi said to her: “Hey Meghan, happy International Women’s Day, you look great by the way.” The Duchess replied “thank you” and later said: “Have a good day guys, thank you!”

Kate and William posed for a stunning photo outside the Taj Mahal in 2016, which Crown Princess Mary and Prince Frederik recently recreated. However, a body language expert exclusively told Express.co.uk that the couples convey completely different “romantic stories”.

On April 16, 2016 Kate, Princess of Wales and Prince William were the picture of true love in front of the beautiful Taj Mahal. Earlier this week, Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik visited the same site and sat in the exact same place. Body language expert Judi James analysed a photograph of both royal couples and revealed that their romantic styles are very different.

William and Kate’s pose in front of the Taj Mahal was not simply a sweet moment captured in time.

It was actually hugely significant for the couple as it would have echoes of a similar photo Princess Diana posed for by herself at the tail-end of her marriage to Charles.

Judi told Express.co.uk: “These are such iconic royal poses and for William and Kate the moment is even more important and poignant thanks to Diana’s significant solo pose on the same seat when she visited the Taj Mahal during the breakdown of her marriage to Charles.

“For William and Kate then, it was crucial to return to this spot and prove that history doesn’t have to repeat itself.”

Will and Kate are all about ‘unity and identifying as one, strongly-bonded unit’ (Image: Getty)

The expert suggested that William’s deliberate body language might be a nod to his mother, promising her that he would stand by Kate.

She explained: “In William’s mind it might even have been a direct message to his late mother that, unlike his father, he is there with his wife in a loving, happy and long-term relationship that involves friendship as well as affection.”

According to the expert, the love between the pair is clear – “all about unity and identifying as one, strongly-bonded unit” – right from the poses to the outfits.

“They have chosen toning outfits to create a ‘team of two’ vibe and their body language together also looks matching and mirrored, to show like-minded thinking.

“Their torsos are close and they are touching at the knees and along their upper arms.

“The romantic gesture is in the way Kate’s legs slant so that her knees point in towards William’s direction.

“The pair have matching head-tilts and smiles and both have adopted a slightly shy look, with some body self-diminishing rather than a high-status regal look.”

Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik posed for a very similar photo almost seven years later

Diana went ‘solo’ on the same seat as Will and Kate during the ‘breakdown of her marriage’ (Image: Getty)

And while their photo also showed a couple deeply in love, Judi observed that they “opted for a different romantic story” on this occasion.

They also do not have the added weight of a royal family tragedy that William and Kate do.

Judi commented: “In their outfits and with the spatial gap between their torsos, plus their non-mirrored body language they seem to be keen to promote their individuality, although they do join at the knees in a linking touch gesture to signal romantic affection.”

‘This couple seem keen to keep to the spirit of the building behind them’ (Image: Getty)

She pointed to the Crown Prince’s devotion to his wife, and suggested that they embody the essence of the Taj Mahal itself.

“With Mary’s regal elegance and upright posture versus Frederik’s more relaxed pose and ready smile, this couple seem keen to keep to the spirit of the building behind them, which is a husband’s romantic gesture to the wife he adored.

“Frederik’s pose hints that he is more than capable of something similar, while William and Kate’s body language suggests a more even-handed style of romance.”

A royal commentator has shared that Prince Harry was once “terrified” over the possibility that Meghan Markle could leave him.

Prince Harry was once “terrified” that Meghan Markle would leave him, it has been claimed.

In 2016, around the time that their relationship became public, Harry defended his now-wife in a letter to the media.

The letter read that Harry was “worried” about Meghan’s safety and that she should not have been “subjected to such a storm” – especially so early in their relationship.

Harry’s letter had been live on the Royal Family’s website, but the link has been inactive since the end of 2023.

Speaking on GB News, royal expert Angela Levin said: “On the royal website, they removed the information that in 2016 Harry sent this very, very angry letter to the press.

“It was to say that they were being racist towards Meghan and disturbing her. Now that was when they met.

“It was interesting in 2016, I went to see him and I was told by one of his aides, ‘be very, very careful because he’s just written a letter and he’s terrified that Meghan’s going to leave him’.”

She added: “So actually go very carefully, otherwise he’ll throw you out’. It’s quite an odd way of thinking. You’re going to interview the Prince and then you’re going to have to be really careful. But I managed to write.

“That’s what the issue was, he was terrified that Meghan was going to leave him. It was love at first sight from his point of view.”

Speaking of the letter now being inactive on the website, Ms Levin said that Harry is “very cross because he felt it should be against the press”.

Prince Harry made reference to the letter in his bombshell memoir Spare, which was released in January 2023.

He wrote: “I showed the essay to Jason (Knauf, former Kensington Palace Communications Secretary), said we needed a course correction immediately.

“No more debate, no more discussion. Within a day, we had a draft. Strong, precise, angry, honest. I didn’t think it would be the end, but maybe the beginning of the end.”

Additionally, Harry expressed that the statement angered both his father, King Charles and his brother, Prince William.

In Spare, he wrote: “My statement generated a whole new onslaught from my family. Pa and Willy (King Charles and Prince William) were furious. They gave me an earful.

My statement made them look bad, they both said. “Why in hell? Because they’d never put out a statement for their girlfriends, or wives when they were being harassed.”

A body language expert spotted a moment between Kate and William where the Prince displayed a gesture of “attraction” – although it could easily be “mistaken” for simply looking around, they claimed.

Jesús Enrique Rosas – aka The Body Language Guy – shared an important insight about Kate Middleton and Prince William on his YouTube channel. The body language expert spotted a subtle gesture of “attraction” the Prince made towards his wife.

Six months ago, on September 28, 2021, Kate and William stepped out at the “No Time To Die” World Premiere at Royal Albert Hall.

Gracing the red carpet, William looked dapper in a velvet suit jacket, while Kate stole the show in a gold Jenny Packham gown.

The royal dup walked side by side, with the body language expert picking up on one brief but telling gesture between the couple.

The Body Language Guy noted that William and Kate look at each other “every time they can”.

A royal fan stated: ‘Their eyes sparkled when they look at each other’ (Image: Getty)

But it was one particular look that can tell royal fans a lot about their relationship, according to the expert.

He referenced a moment that “everyone spotted”, when William appeared to bite his lip and glance down at his wife.

Jesús said: “This kind of gaze can be mistaken for just lowering your eyes or drifting your eyes away.

“But the trick is to spot that in this instance, William’s eyes make a full stop on Kate’s neck and a little bit lower.”

The Body Language Guy claimed that “needless to say, this is a display of attraction”.

In addition to this powerful look between the royal duo, the expert observed that the couple’s body language is often in “sync”.

He explained that “this is something that happens naturally in healthy relationships”.

Even when a couple has “different personality traits” or “different attitudes”, their body language gestures will “blend” over their time together.

When it comes to Kate and William, Jesús noticed a similarity in “rhythm of gestures, poise and even similar strides”.

The expert assured royal fans that even when people have had body language training, they do retain their personality.

“It’s not that you become a robot but more that you learn how to act properly.

“That’s why even if they are not allowed public displays of affection, you can still spot the way William and Kate look at each other every time they can.”

Commenting on The Body Language Guy’s video, royal fans commented on the happy couple.

YouTube user Asiatic American Flower stated: “William looked so proud of Catherine at 007 Premiere. Their eyes sparkled when they look at each other. They are so in sync and fall in love for each other.”

User BarHarborSunrise added: “What a knockout. William looked in awe of her grace and beauty. She doesn’t walk, she glides! What a lovely example of the Royal Family and lovers all over the world.”

The Duke of Sussex spent the afternoon with 50 children and young people, aged between six and 22, at a surprise charity event, all of whom have experienced the death of a military parent

The Duke of Sussex was pictured chatting and playing games with bereaved military children as he made a surprise visit to a charity event – with one girl saying he was ‘amazing’ to speak to.

Harry spent the afternoon with 50 children and young people, aged between six and 22, who have experienced the death of a military parent. He took part in games including one which saw the duke use a straw to transport Smarties as quickly as possible and spoke to the youngsters as part of the fun-filled event hosted in London by Scotty’s Little Soldiers.

Harry also spent time talking to nine members from Scotty’s Council, a group of young people who represent the charity’s other members, who discussed their experiences of growing up without a parent. The duke, 39, completed two tours of Afghanistan between 2007 and 2013 as a forward air controller and an Apache helicopter pilot, having flown countless training missions in the UK, US and Australia.

He said: “It was an honour to meet so many of the wonderful families Scotty’s Little Soldiers supports. I have long believed in the mission of this charity, and I truly believe the work they do to foster community and create space for young people to connect, grieve, but also have fun together is life-changing. I am a huge supporter of their work, and very proud to be their first global ambassador.”

The charity for which the duke became a global ambassador in November was one of seven which had been nominated by Harry and Meghan to benefit from donations marking the couple’s wedding ceremony in 2018. Harry has been involved with the charity since 2017 and recorded a special video message in 2022 dressed as Spider-Man for its children’s Christmas party.

Georgia Paterson, 16, said it was “amazing” to speak to the duke about the experience of losing a parent growing up. She said: ” Prince Harry was the best person to share that experience with because he’s been through it and understands better than anyone. It was really moving to see how vulnerable he was with us, which encouraged us to open up as well.”

Georgia added: “It felt really connecting because when your parent served, they served for the country, and one of the most important things for the country is the royal family. Speaking with someone who is part of that made me feel more connected to my Dad. It was amazing to be connected to him in that moment.”

Nikki Scott, who founded the charity in 2010 following the death of her husband during a tour in Afghanistan, said: “It was amazing to see all the smiles in the room when Prince Harry walked through the door. The Duke of Sussex has supported Scotty’s for a long time, which means a lot to our members because they know he understands what it’s like to experience the death of a parent and the challenges they face.”
