Princess Charlene and Prince Albert of Monaco are 'attempting to show unity' in the face of split rumours - but end up looking 'awkward', body language expert claims

Princess Charlene and Prince Albert's public displays of affection are an attempt to show unity in the face of rumours about the state of their marriage - but have ended up looking 'awkward', a body language expert has claimed. Princess Charlene, 45, and Prince Albert, 65, are doing their best to put on a show of unity amid rumours their marriage is on the rocks, a body language expert has claimed The body language expert told FEMAIL: 'It does seem that Albert and Charlene are unable to produce even small, telling moments of natural synchronicity or mirroring, or be photographed exchanging those small glances and pinging grins that can help to define a strong relationship.' 'She pulls an open-mouthed expression at someone as Albert walks off in front of her and when the sit together she turns to employ a beaming smile with a double thumbs up gesture as though to signal suddenly that she is ok.' Reports that Princess Charlene and Prince Albert's marriage is on the rocks first emerged earlier this year when French publication ROYAUTÉ suggested they were on the brink of divorce. The last time the couple were believed to be in South Africa together was in 2021, when Prince Albert and his children flew out to be with Princess Charlene in South Africa as she recovered from a mystery operation Referring to this 10-month period, James said: ' has often looked incredibly sad and rather distanced in their poses together since, apart from some of the over-congruent, over-kill body language poses when she performed some very clinging hugs on Albert when he visited her during her ten month trip alone to South Africa.'
