Now 15 years on and parents to three children, the Prince and Princess of Wales look stronger than ever.
According to body language expert Darren Stanton, William and Catherine are a “real power couple”.
Speaking on behalf of Betfair Casino, Darren revealed to Royal Insider: “They are showing more PDA, they are far more free in their movements, they show constant open palm gestures and are incredibly tactile.
“They have fantastic eye contact, a controlled stillness, and calm fluid gestures. Their bond is strong and clear for all to see.”
