There were certainly no hard feelings between the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge today, even though she beat him in two yacht races around Auckland Harbour in New Zealand.

After her victory against Prince William, the pair laughed and smiled together, and Kate even offered a look of sympathy as she patted her husband’s arm.

Body language expert Judi James told MailOnline the playful competiveness between the Royal couple symbolises the great strength of their relationship.
‘The men of the Royal family are often celebrated sporting figures whilst their wives sometimes take a slightly more compliant role,’ says James.
‘I think William loves the fact that Kate joins in and they can share these moments, but also that they have this competitive, playful side to their relationship.
‘It shows that, despite being the future King and Queen of England, they are actually a rather normal couple, too, who like to joke around with each other.

Furthermore, says James, it's a nod to the incredibly strong yet competitive relationship that Prince William and his brother Prince Harry share.
'William and Harry are famous for having this joke-competitiveness too,' says James.
'The fact William also has that with Kate, I think, makes them even closer and proves that they really are friends as well as husband and wife.'

And the couple's tactile nature is just what will help them get through their busy royal tour as, according to experts, a loving hand from a partner will reassure and help to calm.
‘The more a couple touch, the stronger the connection,’ says love and relationship expert, Tracey Cox.
‘Touch is incredibly important because it has a calm, reassuring effect on the body. It establishes you as a couple and sends strong mateship guarding signals.
‘Touching also allows some bonding hormones to be transmitted through the skin.
‘Kate and Wills are very tactile and there's lots of intense eye contact as well.
‘Their body language is that of a very close and intimately connected couple.’
And it's not just her husband who is treated to Kate's personal touch. She's also been spotted using an almost hypnotic hand gesture as she chats to royal fans.
