Patti Wood, body language expert expressed the opinion that it is unusual to see the Queen laugh outright as she did at something the Duchess whispered to her.

This moment may be the cementing of their budding relationship. The Queen is unreservedly enjoying Meghan's company, and the Duchess timidly shows her admiration and affection for her husband's grandmother.

Another moment that showed how the family is accepting Meghan was when Prince Charles walked his son's bride down the aisle.

The Prince of Wales looked proud and wore a wide smile, very different from his usual controlled expression. He whispered a reassurance to the nervous bride and patted her hand affectionately.

Another Royal who has been seen to be openly affectionate is Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall. The two duchesses were photographed leaning comfortably towards each other, and holding hands.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have always been affectionate towards the new Duchess, and several photos of their happy interactions have led the two couples to be nicknamed the Fab Four.
