One happy fan wrote: “LOVELY gesture of love from Kate for William, SUPER photo, LOVE them.”
While this may not seem like a lot, the Duke and Duchess over time have become known for rarely holding hands, touching and kissing in public.
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, on the other hand, have become known for their romantic displays of affection.
Often, the couple will hold hands and hug, and even shared a public kiss during the Royal Tour this month as they parted ways.
There are of course no royal rules against how much PDA royal couples put on, and so it is assumed it is simply down to preference of the couple.
This is not the first time Kate and William have surprised the public, having been spotted holding hands in their seats during Princess Eugenie’s wedding to Jack Brooksbank last year.
