Kate Middleton's 'lingering gesture' to Sophie Wessex gives glimpse into their bond, says expert

Members of the Royal Family had a small family reunion during their day out at the Commonwealth Games.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, along with their daughter Princess Charlotte, were spotted greeting Prince Edward, Sophie Wessex and their children Lady Louise and James. There were huge hugs and kisses all around as the Cambridge and Wessex families took their seats ready to watch the swimming action in the Aquatic Centre, writes The Mirror.

Body language expert Judi James has said that the embrace enjoyed by Kate and her husband's aunt Sophie provided clues about their relationship - and it seems the pair have a warm bond. Judi told the Mirror: "After Diana’s death and Fergie’s banishment from the Firm, Sophie is left as the only royal wife of that generation and her body language here provides some clues that she and Edward might go out of their way to try to breach that emotional gap in the family when it comes to support and open-armed affection for William and Kate and their children.
