Meghan Markle's gesture to Princess Lilibet "enhanced" her daughter's day out, according to a body language expert.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a parade with their children Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet on July 4.
Judi James, a body language expert, praised Meghan kneeling down next to Lilibet for "clearly enhancing the experience" of the parade for her daughter.
James said: "Harry and Meghan have been a walking testimony to marital bliss.

"Their face-gazing looks of mutual adoration and their inability to not touch, hug, stroke or clasp hands with each other for longer than a few moments has always proved that however controversial their comments, their love was an ongoing success story."
She continued during her interview with the Mirror: "Her wide smile when she is with Harry looks like a statement, a social gesture to let fans know her life is still happy and perfect, although his expression is a bit more muted.
"On July 4, the couple looks pretty much like any couple with their kids.
"Meghan is clearly enhancing the experience for Lilibet, even kneeling on one knee in light-coloured trousers as she encourages her daughter to enjoy the parade.
"This seems to be a group expedition though and Harry is standing, leaning to talk to someone else.
"It's the kind of thing most couples with kids do, it only looks different for Harry and Meghan because we’re used to seeing them in blissful cuddle-bundles rather than even a few feet apart."
Last month, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's daughter turned two but did not receive any public tributes from senior members of the monarchy to mark the occasion.
No members of the Royal Family publicly wishing Lilibet's brother Archie happy birthday on May 6.
RS Locke stated that the birthdays were acknowledged under Queen Elizabeth II due to the cordial relationship the late monarch had with Meghan and Harry.

The royal commentator said: "Last year’s birthday acknowledgement was at the late Queen’s behest and an indication of the cordial relationship she had with Prince Harry, Meghan, and their children."
Locke told the Independent: "King Charles’s decision not to publicly acknowledge his granddaughter’s birthday, nor Prince Archie’s last month, is a reflection of their strained relationship and likely an indication of the social media practices going forward."
Prince Archie's birthday was on the same day as King Charles's Coronation.
But the King reportedly held a toast for the young prince on May 6 following the historic ceremony.
