In a sense it was an everyday gesture, but it was also a moment of intimacy that went viral.
Prince William And Kate Middletonhad been at the Bisham Abbey National Sports Center to mark World Mental Health Day when William stopped mid-conversation to brush a strand of hair from Kate’s cheek, to which she responded with a warm smile.
Ten years after their wedding, they seem as crazy about each other as ever, which could explain their popularity.
The clip was viewed across social media, with fans viewing the moment more than 206,000 times on TikTok alone.
Of course it’s not the first time. Protective William seems to make a point of reassuring his wife during his public service.
On Thursday, William was spotted with his arm around his wife’s shoulder as she giggled with a member of the public during a visit to the Outfit Moray charity in Scotland.
As these photos show, it’s the little gestures that count.
