On Friday night, Prince William and Princess Catherine were seen on camera almost holding hands, which is very unusual for the royal couple.
When the two were arriving at the Boston venue for the 2022 Earthshot Prize ceremony on Friday, William extended his arm to guide Catherine, and the two then reached toward one another as if they were going to hold hands. William and Catherine are rarely seen holding hands, but on this occasion, they appeared to be doing so.
William then let go of his arm, but Catherine was too late and kept her hand raised.
The couple looked elegant for the event in a Solace London gown that Princess Catherine rented from the website HURR, and the Prince looked dapper in a black tuxedo.
There is no denying that the couple is still very much in love despite having been married for almost 12 years and having three kids. The royal couple has occasionally been known to make public displays of affection, but they usually do so when they are having fun.
The Prince and Princess of Wales are almost always captured in pictures taken during official engagements, so it would be unprofessional for them to hold hands, according to Emily Nash, royal correspondent for HELLO! Magazine.
“Besides being on duty, it wouldn’t be very practical because they need to shake hands with a lot of people as they meet! We are aware of their great affection, which occasionally comes through at sporting events or other informal gatherings, but you wouldn’t anticipate them to display it in more official settings.
In contrast, Harry and Meghan, the wife of William’s brother, are frequently pictured holding hands, even when they are participating in official events as members of the Royal Household.
