Prince William and Princess Kate have sent royal fans into a frenzy after what appears to be a rare public display of affection.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are known for their professional demeanour during official engagements, but a video has recently resurfaced showing the pair in a tender moment.

In the footage – taken at the 2021 No Time to Die premiere and shared by royal fan account @royalfamilyslife on TikTok – the couple can be seen exchanging discreet gestures of love. The clip showed the future king looking dashing in a sharp suit and bowtie, while Kate dazzles in a shimmering gold gown with her hair elegantly styled up.

As they make their appearance, William is spotted moving his hand toward Kate’s lower back. Text overlaid on top of the footage read: “Notice Kate’s subtle hand movement reminding her sweet Prince William of No PDA.”

Despite this, William keeps his hand in place as he escorts her from the stage. Further text reveals: “And she quickly makes up for it with a magical look of love.”

The poster captioned the heartwarming video, stating: “She is beautiful and he noticed he was married to a goddess,” prompting viewers to agree.

One person wrote: “I love the way he looks at her,” while anther commented: “She is the epitome of grace, elegance, and class.”

Meanwhile a third remarked “William and Catherine are fabulous,” and another added: “Kate looks absolutely drop dead gorgeous in that dress.”

 

The James Bond movie premiere took place at the Royal Albert Hall in London after being delayed due to the Covid-19 pandemic. Kate’s ensemble became a talking point after she perfectly paired her impressive frock with a pair of statement earrings.

Speaking about public displays of affection among royals, commentator Richard Fitzwilliams explained that while they are not the norm, there is nothing to stop the future king and queen showing each other a little bit of love.

He said: “PDA isn’t normally associated with the Royal Family. However they make their own rules. What strikes me about this photo is how stunning Kate looks and how glamorous they are as a couple.”
