When it comes to being in the public eye and completing royal engagements, Prince William and Kate Middleton tend to keep their relationship underwraps and very rarely engage in spots of PDAs (public displays of affection).
Although their balcony kisses at Buckingham Palace after their royal wedding in April 2011 delighted spectators, the Prince and Princess of Wales have largely avoided hand holding, back rubs, and arm linking during their public engagements.
However, on occasion the pair have been known to show their more affectionate side towards one another, including during their recent trip to the EE BAFTA film awards on Sunday.
As they made their way down the red carpet at Londons’ Royal Festival Hall, the Prince and Princess of Wales could be seen giggling before 40 year old William whispered something in his wife’s ear. 41 year old Kate was then seen laughing before she was seen tapping her husband on the bum.
But while such examples of royal PDA are rare, this isn’t the first time that William and Kate have let their guards down when in public.
In fact, shortly before Christmas the pair were seen engaging in some light PDA while cheering on the Boston Celtics when Kate was snapped placing a hand on William’s knee.
And before that, when Kate accompanied her husband, Prince William to the Royal Charity Polo Cup game in July 2022, they made a very uncommon public display of affection. As they tenderly cuddled, the Prince was seen kissing his wife's cheek and, in other pictures, wrapping his arm around her waist.
The two were also pictured having a great time together playing the drums in the Trench Town Culture Yard Museum, where Bob Marley once resided.
During the same trip in March 2022, while attending a dinner at King's House hosted by the Governor General of Jamaica, the Princess of Wales wrapped her arm around her husband. All evening, the couple was spotted gazing tenderly into each other's eyes.
On day four of the Platinum Jubilee Royal Tour of the Caribbean earlier this year, the couple met the Jamaica National Bobsleigh Team. Prince William couldn’t contain his laughter as the royal couple were seen getting inside the bobsleigh.
Another sweet moment between the couple was photographed a few days before Christmas 2021, when Kate hosted the Together at Christmas community carol service. The couple were seated next to each other during the service, watching artist Ellie Goulding perform her popular tune "Your Song," which she also sang during the royals' wedding at Buckingham Palace ten years prior.
The song is thought to have been the couple's first dance as newlyweds. The couple could be seen having a loving look at one point in the song before the mother-of-three turned away smiling as William continued to look at her.
The Prince and Princess could also be seen laughing together during their visit to the Belmont Community Centre in Durham on April 27. During the visit, the couple tried their hand at golf while meeting young people supported by the Cheesy Waffles Project.
The royal couple are not shy of getting in the festive spirit, toasting marshmallows together on their trip to Cardiff on day two of their royal train tour.
A month before the birth of Prince Louis, in March 2018, William was seen putting his arm around his pregnant wife during the Irish Guards' annual St. Patrick's Day Parade at Cavalry Barracks.
Back in 2012, during the London Olympic Games, sweet snaps emerged of the couple embracing with glee. Now 10 years on the couple are as loved up as ever.
