Kate Middleton And Prince William Kiss And Cuddle In Rare PDA Moment At Charity Polo Cup Match
Kate Middleton and Prince William's PDA moments have been pretty rare, unlike Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's in recent years.
While their balcony kisses at Buckingham Palace following their royal wedding in April 2011 delighted fans, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have kept their public appearances relatively free from hand holding, back rubs and linking of arms.
With the majority of their official outings being conducted as senior members of the royal family, it's likely the couple have wanted to appear professional during their meetings with the public and not draw too much attention to their relationship. However, on some occasions, the pair have let their guards down, allowing the world see just how in love and affectionate they are with each other.
Here are our favourite Kate Middleton and Prince William's PDA moments:
