The Prince and Princess of Fairytale Romances

As senior working royals, Prince William and Kate Middleton don't overtly show their love for each other. But over the past 15 years, the couple has found subtle ways to display their romantic side through small but meaningful gestures. Whether through tactful hand placements, loving glances, or an occasional embrace, the Prince and Princess of Wales are no less than the leads in any fairytale love story. And over the last few days, we have seen more than enough instances of it.

An Emotional Embrace

When Middleton completed her Three Peaks Challenge last month, it was certainly an emotional moment for the entire family, who had closely seen her battle against cancer over the past few years. But perhaps the closest witness to her struggles was her husband. His bursting feelings were evident from William's tight hug to her after the arduous undertaking. It proved just how important she was to him.

Knight with Shining Umbrella

At Peter Phillips and Harriet Sperling's wedding recently, William proved that he was absolutely capable of protecting his wife, even if it meant holding the umbrella to shield her from the rain. When the pair stepped out of the church after the ceremony, it began to pour, and Middleton, who had worn a beige outfit, found herself in a situation that could ruin her dress. That's when William immediately swooped in to help her out, serving couple goals once again.

The Kiss of Love

William and Middleton hardly engage in PDA, but when they do, they make the entire world swoon, like an inevitable ripple effect. A similar instance happened when the couple stepped out for the Royal Charity Polo Cup last week. The Princess of Wales cheered for her husband as he competed in the friendly match, and per the pair's usual adorable polo tradition, the prince gave a peck on her cheek, creating the sweetest moment.

A Couple Who Laughs Together

William and Middleton have known each other since they were college students at St. Andrews. The beautiful rapport between them is clear from their unforced, genuine chemistry and ability to laugh together. When the couple stepped out for Royal Ascot this year, Middleton was spotted grinning at her husband, who was touching his beard, leading to speculation that she was probably teasing him over it.

She Only Has Eyes for Him

The Buckingham Palace balcony holds many sweet memories for William and Middleton. It was the place where they were first introduced to the world as husband and wife. The couple is known for sneaking loving glances towards each other during public events, and Trooping the Colour has recorded many such moments over the past decade and a half. This year was no different. Middleton was spotted staring adorably at her husband, her eyes shining brightly.

That's Her Man!

William certainly looked dapper in his polo uniform, and his wife certainly thought so, as she couldn't keep her hands to herself after the friendly match. She stole the prince's usual move and placed her hand on the small of his back as they walked on the field together. The Princess of Wales herself looked stunning in a black-and-white gingham midi dress.
