GETTY French election frontrunner Emmanuel Macron is 24 years younger than his wife, Brigitte Trogneux

Macron looks like a child clutching his mother’s hand but trying to reach a toy or chocolate bar Darren Stanton

In the first image, Macron was seen with both hands outstretched in opposite directions, one shaking a supporter’s hand and the other clutched onto his wife’s. Darren said the body language in the picture was “really interesting”. He explained: “Here we see Macron literally torn between two parts, a fan in the audience grabs his hand and he is happy to oblige but he is also determined not to let go of his wife either and so we get this bizarre picture. “With arms fully extended, the shot looks like a child clutching his mother’s hand but trying to reach a toy or chocolate bar. “The expression on his face shows genuine enjoyment at making sure he keeps the member of the public happy. His wife seems more preoccupied in not tumbling down the stairs in her boots than all of the stuff happening around them. “I think it’s a telling picture that demonstrates, unlike other politicians like Mr Trump, Macron, like President Obama, wants to involve his wife as much as possible and she is equally if not more important that the politics in his life. “Either way she looks again quite nonchalant with it all like she’s seen it all before.”

The second image showed the couple applauding in unison at one of Macron’s En Marche meetings in Montpellier. Darren said: “It shows both of them mirroring each other perfectly which shows they are very much in a state of deep rapport. “His expression again is one of enjoying the moment whilst hers appears to be, ‘How much longer is this going to take?’” “I’m not saying she’s not supportive as she is clearly a woman who is devoted to her husband’s vocation and passion for politics but her facial expressions show she may find some of the functions and activities to be a little tiresome.”
