Something has shifted for Prince William and Princess Kate this summer. Royal watchers are noticing a distinct increase in public affection from the couple. This relaxed energy was on full display when they shared a surprisingly intimate embrace on Instagram after the Princess of Wales finished the National Three Peaks Challenge.
She raised funds for The Royal Marsden Cancer Charity during the hike. Just days later, onlookers spotted the couple holding hands at the DMMI Royal Charity Polo Cup 2026.
