Princess Beatrice has shared a glimpse into her “warm and positive life” with her cousin Zara Tindall.

Earlier this week, the Princess of York was pictured beaming with Zara at the Monaco Grand Prix.

Speaking exclusively to GB News, body language expert Judi James commented on how the picture shows an insight into the life of the royals when they are off duty.

James said: “Zara is famously tactile, spontaneous and fun but Beatrice has often only been seen in more formal mode.

“This glimpse of her relaxing and playing around for the cameras is a pleasing glimpse into the more warm and positive life of some of the royals when they are off-duty and acting like an ordinary family.”

In the photo, Beatrice wears a pair of Soek sunglasses which, according to the Royal Fashion Police, belong to Zara showing the close relationship between the cousins.

James says about the photo of the cousins: “The show-boating pose only works because all three women ‘got’ it and fell into it easily and without any embarrassment.

“With Zara sandwiched between the other two women she gets to look elegant as they proffer an affectionate kiss each on her cheeks.

“Beatrice looks more than up for this fun pose, leaning right in to plant her cheek kiss and to join in a close and affectionate group hug.

“Zara looks a bit like the instigator and alpha of the trio here, wrapping her arms around the two women as they lean in.

“And despite the fact this is a playful pose it still registers high levels of authentic friendship between the cousins.”

Princess Beatrice and Zara joined Prince William for a garden party at Buckingham Palace earlier this month.

The royal cousins were accompanied by Peter Phillips, Princess Eugenie and Mike Tindall at the event showcasing a “more fun generation of royals.”

Royal commentator Jennie Bond said: “I thought it was joyful to see this new generation of royals step up to help William at one of the traditional engagements of the year.

“What a shame it was raining, but I think their guests would have been genuinely thrilled to meet this younger, less formal and, let’s face it, more fun generation of royals."
