Princess Charlene was 'desperate’ to 'show her love for Prince Albert is stronger than ever’ in photographs showing the couple and their two children reunited in Monaco, according to a body language expert.
Charlene, 43, arrived back in Monaco yesterday morning after flying by private jet from the South African city of Durban to Nice, , and posed for snaps with Albert, 63, and their two children Jacques and Gabriella.
The mother-of-two, who underwent several surgeries while in and was taken to hospital after collapsing in September, still looked frail on her return to Monaco yesterday
And body language Judi James told FEMAIL Charlene was using overexaggerated gestures of closeness with Albert and appeared 'needy’ in the images – while Prince Albert did 'not reflect’ his wife’s body language.
The absence of Charlene from the principality, which has involved missing a string of high-profile events, has led to speculation around the state of her marriage, after news emerged that Albert is facing a paternity suit over a love child born in the early years of their relationship.
Here, expert Judi explains the body language of Charlene and Albert in their latest reunion snaps…
Clinging to Albert
In the first image released by Princess Charlene, the royal was captured hugging Albert closely.
Body language expert Judi said she was 'clinging’ to her husband, saying: 'Charlene’s announcement rituals here suggest she wants to send out a very emphatic message that she is now back with her family and that her love for her husband is stronger than ever.
’Just as in South Africa when Prince Albert came to visit, Charlene performs what look rather like over-kill signals to make her message clear to the rest of the world, putting in much more effort than her husband to look excitedly re-united and joyous.’

Keen to suggest level of trust
Judi suggested Charlene’s torso and the position of her heard indicated she wanted to suggest a level of trust with her husband.
She said: 'With her right arm clutching her twins in a protective gesture, Charlene leans her torso right across them in order to encircle her husband with her left arm and to press her body against his.
’She uses an exaggerated head-pressing gestures of closeness here, just as she did in South Africa, and with head touch being a sign of trust it looks as though she is keen to suggest mutual levels of trust and affection between them.
’Her effort here makes her look emotionally needy though and perhaps a little insecure as well as suggesting she is celebrating an exciting reunion.’
Imbalance of emotion…and Prince Albert registers no response to Charlene
While Judi said Charlene appeared to be 'clinging’ to her husband, she said there was an 'imbalance’ of emotion with Albert.
Calling Charlene 'frail’, she said: 'There is a clear imbalance in the body language mood of the posing with her husband.
’While she throws herself over her husband to cling to him he looks keen to adopt a rather less uninhibited pose, standing straight on to the cameras with his head upright and with a partly-formed smile on his face.
’His pose appears to register no response to his wife’s efforts here, with a lack of mirroring or head tilting to make the look more congruent and the emotions more shared.
’Albert does have one arm around Charlene’s waist but even that gesture is less reciprocal than her tight clasp of him, which involves her fingers clutching him at the neck and shoulder in a gesture associated with possession and pride.’

Over-kill signals to appear excited
In a second image of Charlene with Prince Albert, Jacques and Gabriela, she said Charlene was using 'over-kill’ signals.
She said: 'It’s clear from both this family pose and the one in SA that Charlene is desperately keen to stress the enduring love between herself and Albert and her affection for her family group as a whole.’
2.More active role
The body language expert explained: 'Charlene’s clutching and grasping rituals of him place her in the more active role in both and her clinging behaviour suggests she is desperate to avoid letting her family go from her clasp again.’

1. Appears solitary and tense
Earlier in the day, Charlene was snapped as she arrived at Nice airport ahead of her reunion with her family in Monaco.
The body language expert said the royal portrayed a significantly different character in the images.
She said: 'Walking through the airport with her dog, Charlene cut a much more solitary and less happy-looking figure.
’Her eye expression suggests some tension and the rest of her face covered by her mask.’
The Princess arrived back on European soil after spending much of the year away from Prince Albert and their two children, six-year-old twins Jacques and Gabriella
While the couple appeared to put on a united front yesterday, Charlene’s stay in South Africa sparked rumours of a rift between the royal couple, which they both vehemently denied.
She has been in her native South Africa for much of this year after contracting a 'serious sinus infection’ which made her unable to travel and forced her to miss key events including her 10-year wedding anniversary and her children’s first day of school.
But Albert, 63, insisted in October that his wife would return home 'way before [Monaco’s National Day] on November 19′, adding 'she’s in good form and much better spirits’.
A royal spokeswoman said: 'The princess is in a good mood and is looking forward to returning home, while Charlene’s father, Mike Wittstock, was overjoyed that his daughter is returning to Monaco.
’Thank God she is back home,’ he said.

Charlene’s return to the principality comes just weeks after she posted a photo in which many of her fans thought she looked particularly frail.

In an interview which took place in early October which was shared on Charlene’s page, the royal said she 'misses her children, Prince Jacques and Princess Gabriella, terribly’, adding: 'Any mother out there who has been separated from her children for months would feel the same way I feel.’
In the clip, she said: 'I came to South Africa to oversee some foundation projects.I was unwell at the time, unknowingly, with an infection. It was addressed immediately. Unfortunately, it grounded me for some months in South Africa.
’I had my one procedure – it was very successful. I’m well, I’m feeling much stronger.I have one more procedure. Then I cannot wait to get home to my children, who I miss terribly.
Elsewhere in the interview she touched on community in South Africa, saying she would like to impart 'unity and strength.’
She said: slot online 'Obviously I would never like to touch on anything politically.But what can be done, is people need to set their differences aside and think of the generations to come and less of themselves.
