While pregnancies can test any marriage and frequently put strain on a relationship, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are proving to be more in love than ever.

Royal photographer Mark Stewart said the two are “much more touchy-feely than they were,” according to People Magazine.

Author Judy Wade, who has been keeping her eye on the couple for 10 years said, “They’ve always been close, but it is much more pronounced since she has become pregnant. There appears to be a new deeper bond between them.”

Prince William, a Royal Air Force search-and-rescue pilot, has spoken publicly about how much he loves the job, but he is expected to retire his wings to devote himself more fully to his royal duties, philanthropic work and his wife.

"I've seen a lot of royal romances over the years," Wade said, "and this is one of the happiest. It's a deep, meaningful relationship. She fulfills all his dreams."

The two recently visited a homeless shelter in Scotland, and according to the shelter's CEO Paul Moore, the couple was “obviously in love.”

“The eye [contact], their smiles to each other, were very genuine, very caring,” he added. “You know when you’re in a restaurant and see two people obviously in love? That’s what they’re like.”
