William and Kate Are Very Different When the Cameras Are Off, Apparently

The Prince and Princess of Wales attend a ceremonial welcome for the President and First Lady of the Republic of Korea.

The Prince and Princess of Wales are one of the most beloved royal couples. The pair, who will celebrate their 15th wedding anniversary next year, met as students at university and have gone on to become one of the most influential couples within the British monarchy. While Prince William is preparing for his future role as King, Princess Kate is said to be a true leader behind closed doors, and is often touted as the family's "secret weapon".

But according to royal correspondent Katie Nicholl, William and Kate are quite different when the cameras stop rolling. In fact, they are reportedly far more affectionate than they would be in most public settings while carrying out royal duties. Nicholl told The Mirror: "I’ve been with them on many occasions, and when the cameras drop, you’ll often see them walk away and Kate will put an arm around his waist, or he’ll place his hand in the small of her back. There’s a lovely closeness between them, and whereas at the start of their marriage they seemed shy about being affectionate in public, they’re so much more confident now."
