This year, William and Kate’s relationship has undergone significant changes due to the Princess’s cancer diagnosis. While she has acknowledged that she is “doing well,” she also noted that she is “not out of the woods yet.”
Relying on her lifelong partner for love and support, as well as positive messages from the public, Kate said in her last public statement: “It really has made the world of difference to William and me and has helped us both through some of the harder times.”
Reflecting on their lasting love, royal fans have turned to TikTok to revisit some of the couple’s most cherished moments, including the day they revealed their engagement.
One particular clip has caught the attention of fans, who had previously overlooked a tender moment between the couple from their November 2010 announcement. During their engagement interview, the now mother-of-three is asked about her feelings on becoming a working member of the royal family.
“It’s obviously nerve-wracking because I don’t know what I’m doing – I sort of don’t know the ropes really,” Kate can be heard saying, stumbling over her words as she fights her nerves.
“I’m willing to learn quickly and work hard,” she smiles, to which William chimes in: “She’ll do really well.”
At the same time, William pats his wife’s thigh and gently squeezes her knee. Fans were quick to notice the Princess’s “nerves” and William’s “reassuring leg pat,” rushing to the comments of the now-viral post.
“I love how he helped her and the fact that touch is their reassurance. So in tune with each other,” commented one TikTok user.
“She is so endearing! Just look at how he looks at her,” gushed another fan, while a third wrote: “Catherine chose well. She knew she wanted him. She knew she loved him. She knew it was not going to be easy. He is so proud of her. I truly believe that they work hard at everything.”
