Constance Marten and Mark Gordon are due to appear at the Old Bailey on March 31 charged with three offences, including manslaughter.
Remains found by police searching for Constance Marten’s baby were discovered wrapped in a plastic bag under some nappies in an allotment shed, a court heard.
Marten, 35, and Gordon, 48, sat in the dock together at Crawley Magistrates’ Court, touching hands briefly and having a number of conversations with each other. At one stage Marten, who comes from an aristocratic family with royal connections, blew a kiss to Gordon, who wore a grey jumper over his head throughout.
