MailOnline reports, “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.

In fact, the body language between the Royal  couple shows that their bond is stronger than ever.

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.
