Sarah Ferguson and Prince Andrew have been divorced since 1996, but they continue to make public appearances together.

Following their recent outings, body language expert Judi James shared her thoughts on the royals and said that they are like an existing couple.

While speaking with Express, James said that the Duke and Duchess of York have been presenting a kind of body language the couple convince people that they are still together.

“Their proximity in these poses looks natural and spontaneous, with Sarah even standing close and facing him with her torso while he faces front,” she said.

The body language expert went on to say that Ferguson developed a new level of confidence when she’s around her ex-husband. “Sarah also seems to have acquired a more confident air with Andrew, openly and empathetically flattering him by gazing at him and smiling or laughing as he talks or using head closeness as he points something out to her,” she said.

James also compared Prince Andrew and Ferguson’s recent outing at the Royal Ascot with their previous appearances with their two daughters, Princess Beatrice, and Princess Eugenie. She said that there is no way to predict that Ferguson and Prince Andrew are an “ex” couple if people don’t know who they are.

Fergie and Prince Andrew’s relationship is certainly unique. But to the dismay of royal fans, the dad of two recently said that he and his ex-wife have no plans to get back together. Prince Andrew also said that he has no intention to get married again after his failed marriage to Ferguson.

But very early on in their relationship, the members of the Royal Family felt that Ferguson was very well suited for the “playboy prince.” Prince Philip, Queen Elizabeth II, and the Queen Mother liked Ferguson because of her unique qualities.

However, Ferguson was eventually frozen out by the royal family after she separated from Prince Andrew.
