Fans have been buzzing about Princess Kate’s sweet moments with Prince William after clips from King Charles III’s coronation celebrations in 2023 went viral on TikTok.
Their relationship has captured public interest over the years, especially with the dramatization of their early romance in the final season of Netflix’s The Crown late last year.
William and Kate first crossed paths back in 2001 at St Andrews University in Scotland, where they were both studying. Their romance started soon after, becoming public in 2004 when photos of them skiing circulated in the media.
The couple got engaged in 2010 and tied the knot at Westminster Abbey in 2011. This April marked their 13th wedding anniversary.

Earlier this year, Kate took a step back from public events due to health concerns, including her announcement in March about a cancer diagnosis and a recommended preventive chemotherapy treatment.
With fewer royal appearances, fans have reminisced about past engagements, sharing their favorite “PDA” moments on social media.
A user named @kittywaless posted a heartwarming clip on TikTok from August 11, showing William and Kate interacting with local community members in Windsor before the coronation concert. The couple’s tender interactions have attracted praise.
In the video, Kate is seen frequently placing her hand on William’s back as they chat with attendees. The prince reciprocates the affection, which didn’t go unnoticed on social media.
One user captioned the clip, “clinginess was turned up at this event,” garnering nearly 7,000 likes and a flurry of positive comments. Enthusiastic fans remarked, “They give each other energetic support,” and “They have such cute separation anxiety from each other.”
In June, Kate publicly expressed her love for William on social media to celebrate his 42nd birthday, sharing an adorable photo of him with their three kids—Prince George, Princess Charlotte, and Prince Louis—along with a heartfelt message: “Happy birthday Papa, we all love you so much! Cx.”
