Prince William was spotted putting a reassuring arm around his wife Kate during a reception at Buckingham Palace this afternoon.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, who rarely show public displays of affection, couldn’t resist cosying up to each other after Kate let her hair down at the royal residence.
The pair appeared loved-up during the lavish reception to welcome president Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee of South Korea in London.
William was seen placing his hand on his wife’s lower back and Kate reciprocated the sweet gesture by placing her hand on her husband’s back before holding his hand.
The royal couple, who appeared relaxed, walked through the room full of dignitaries’ hand in hand.
South Korea’s State Visit
On Tuesday, the Princess of Wales, 41, made two unexpected moves while viewing a display of Korean items from the Royal Collection at Buckingham Palace. The tour followed a private lunch that King Charles held to welcome President Yoon Suk Yeol and his wife, First Lady Kim Keon Hee, at the start of their three-day stay.
While Princess Kate and Prince William were all business as they greeted the presidential couple (an important duty) at their hotel in London on behalf of the King, 75, Kate let her hair down later in the day. The Princess of Wales wore her hair loose during the tour in the Picture Gallery after taking down the chignon she wore at the start of the day.
Kate rarely changes her hair between engagements. In September, she kept the same knotted chignon for back-to-back outings at a church service honoring Queen Elizabeth on the first anniversary of her death and a visit to a Câr-Y-Môr Seaweed Farm in Wales.
