Princess Kate giggles with Prince William during a sweet moment during King Charles' Scottish coronation celebration.
Prince and Princess of Wales were snapped enjoying a rare public display of affection at the National Service of Thanksgiving and Dedication at St. Giles' Cathedral in Edinburgh yesterday.
The couple, present at the service held in honour of King Charles and Queen Camilla's crowning, are seen smiling and whispering to each other.
Kate, 41, even playfully taps William's lower back in photographs taken at the event in the Scottish capital.
Charles was presented with the symbols of his authority in Scotland - the Crown, the Sceptre and the Sword of State - known as the Honours of Scotland during a day of pomp, pageantry and prayer in Edinburgh.
Scotland's leading figures, and representatives from the nation's life, gathered at St Giles' Cathedral for a service of thanksgiving and dedication for the King and Queen, also attended by the Prince and Princess of Wales, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland.
The Prince and Princess of Wales, known as the Duke and Duchess of Rothesay in Scotland, were part of the royal procession and entered the cathedral behind the monarch and his wife, with the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh also at the service.
Kate wore a Catherine Walker coat, hat by Philip Treacy and a necklace from the late Queen's collection, while William was dressed in his RAF No1 uniform.
Scotland's First Minister Humza Yousaf gave a reading during the service, while others attending from the world of politics included Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar and Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Alex Cole-Hamilton.
The service featured centuries-old aspects of Scottish royal tradition along with new additions such as pieces of music written specially for the occasion, a psalm sung in Gaelic and the use of passages from the New Testament in Scots.
The Moderator of the General Assembly of the Church of Scotland, Rt Rev Sally Foster-Fulton, preached the sermon and then provided a blessing to close the service.
Others involved included violinist Nicola Benedetti, who was among the musicians playing, and Olympic rower Dame Katherine Grainger who carried the Elizabeth Sword which was being used in place of the Sword of State.
Seated among the congregation were individuals from the people's procession, a group around 100-strong reflecting all aspects of Scottish society from the arts and politics, to education, civil society and business, including charities which the King supports as patron.
Major General Alastair Bruce, governor of Edinburgh Castle, watched the people's procession set off from the fortress' esplanade to the cathedral, and it was joined by four mounted elements of the SCOTS Dragoon Guards, the Pipes & Drums of Robert Gordon's Combined Cadet Force and the 51 Brigade Cadet Military Band.
