Prince William tried to show 'fondness' towards Princess Beatrice as he kissed her on the cheek at their cousin's wedding, a body language expert has claimed, in an act that showed she and Princess Eugenie are back in the royal fold.
The sisters were noticeably 'tense' as they arrived at cousin Peter Phillips and his partner Harriet Sperling's celebrations yesterday, just hours after the release of an 'outrageous' National Audit report which revealed they have never paid a penny in rent.
Beatrice and Eugenie perform no royal duties, have their own careers and high-flying husbands, yet have lived free of charge in exclusive palace properties for nearly two decades.
The news came after the pair had already taken a step back from the spotlight following the downfall of their parents - Sarah Ferguson and the disgraced ex-Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, over their friendship with paedophile financier Jeffrey Epstein.
Yet despite recent controversies, Prince William appeared eager to maintain the bond with his cousins as he affectionately leaned in to kiss Beatrice at the wedding in Kemble yesterday.
