In an interview withExpress, body language expert Judi James broke down the telling signs of the couple’s postures.

“David looks so much like a man in the right place at the right time here, completely within his zone of comfort in the very regal setting,” she stated.

“He manages to combine a slow, stately, procession-style walk with a relaxed smile and even an eyebrow-flash gesture of acknowledgement and greeting as he strolls along for the state banquet.”

The contrast was obvious when she turned to the singer.

“She turns her head to the side a couple of times as though to check where David is and then she holds her hand out in a silent ‘ask’ for a reassuring hand clasp. David responds with the kind of sixth sense that long-term couples enjoy, encasing her hand in his in a gesture of reassurance and protection.”

The pair were additionally seated apart during dinner

David, who was invited to the event to be an ambassador at the2022 Qatar World Cup, was sitting next to Naseer Al-Khelaifi — a Qatari businessman and President of French football club PSG.

On the other hand, Victoria was situated closer to the “top table.” Lord Levy, the former CEO of a large independent group of music companies, was seated to her left, while Lord Darzi, an academic surgeon and politician, was to her right.
