How Prince William Reacted to a Royal Fan Shouting Compliments at His "Beautiful" Wife Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton wears a navy an white nautical inspired outfit to visit BAE Systems' Shipbuilding Academy in Scotstoun, Glasgow on May 22, 2025 in Glasgow, Scotland.

Kate Middleton seemingly receives a plethora of compliments from royal fans wherever she goes, and her husband, Prince William, apparently has some thoughts about that.

Kate and William both attended the official naming ceremony of the Royal Navy's new warship, HMS Glasgow, which took place at BAE Systems's shipyard in Scotstoun, Glasgow. At one point during the couple's visit, a royal fan shouted out to Kate Middleton, "You're beautiful," as heard on a video clip of the event shared on Instagram.
