Prince Harry and Meghan Markle put on a united front at today's Invictus Games as they posed for pictures with NATO officials.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex walked hand-in-hand as they were snapped with the representatives, clutching onto one another after a meeting with military chiefs. Body language expert Judi James has said the couple were reminiscent of newlyweds in the snaps.
Speaking exclusively to The Mirror, she explained: "Posing at the NATO meeting, Meghan and Harry even reconstructed body language poses from their engagement interview. Standing side by side, their hands were clasped with the fingers meshed, suggesting intimacy."

Judi told us: "It was when Meghan doubled-up the clasp by placing her other hand over it to signal even more intense togetherness, or placed that hand on Harry's arm in an ownership ritual that the pose looked like a near-perfect reminder of how their love affair began."
After meeting with NATO representatives, Harry and Meghan headed to the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Dusseldorf and took their seats for the volleyball competition. The Sussexes happily posed for pictures with fans, with Harry placing a protective arm around his wife to protect her from the crowd.

Judi said they appeared to be "even more in besotted newlywed mode" at the sporting event.
She said: "After posing for selfies and hugging members of the crowd, Harry and Meghan began using some stronger signals of intimate togetherness, ending in Harry standing behind Meghan, enveloping her in a double-arm hug that encircled her upper shoulders and torso." The body language expert also explained that Harry seemed to show possessiveness of Meghan with the move.
Judi told us: "This was Harry at probably his most possessive, seeming to signal that he was happy to share his wife with the fans but they needed to remember she’s all his now."
