Prince William and Kate Middleton aren't exactly known for their public displays of affection and flirtatious vibes, but they had a moment at the 2023 BAFTAs that is once again going viral – and by 'moment', I mean they walked the red carpet and Kate was filmed sneakily patting Prince William on the bottom.
While this video is a few years old, sources say Kate and William are even closer than ever lately amid the Princess of Wales' recovery from cancer.
"They really love the simple things in life," a family friend told Vanity Fair back in April. "A little cottage in the middle of nowhere is their idea of heaven."
"Getting cancer changed her, it changed William, and it changed everything between them. They were both shocked to their core, but they knew they would get through it together," they said. "William stepped up. He made Catherine front and centre of everything and will continue to do so. It’s made them both prioritise family and each other over everything else."
Another long-time friend added that "Like all couples, the relationship has ups and downs, but I would say they are stronger than ever, they are a very tight partnership.
"It’s very clear that William is deeply in love with his wife, more than ever, and she is eternally grateful to him for the support he has given her this past year and how he has been with the children. He has shouldered a lot."
What a pair!
