ABOVE: Pressing the red button at the Calgary Stampede, Canada, 8 July

Kate and William aren’t afraid to demonstrate their affection in public. While they may have been invited to press the red button together, it’s clear by their open smiles, the way they’re tilting their shoulders towards one another and the easy way her hand rests on his that they’re physically comfortable and confident together. Although they’re looking in different directions, their heads and torsos are matched – both facing forward – enabling them, as a couple, to include the whole crowd as one entity. Engaged and open to the crowd as can be seen in their forward facing bodies, her left arm, slightly crossing her body, provides her with a bit of protection as well as offering an excellent view of her engagement ring.
