The Royal Family are known for rarely showing affection and often keep to a more formal and professional manner during official engagements.
But the Prince and Princess of Wales are occasionally seen laughing and smiling at each other, or wrapping a supportive arm around one another.
For now, Kate is mostly out of action as she recovers from cancer and continues treatment.
But when she briefly returned to public duties at Trooping the Colour in June, she was spotted smiling and looking into her husband&#8217;s eyes on the Buckingham Palace balcony.
From their very first tour abroad together after getting married in 2011, the pair have always shown how much they care for each other.
Read below to see Kate and William&#8217;s most tender moments and why we can&#8217;t wait to see them back as a double act at engagements on a regular basis.

Smiles on the balcony
Kate&#8217;s first official public appearance since announcing her diagnosis earlier this year was at Trooping the Colour in June.
She rode in a carriage with her children &#8211; Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis &#8211; and ended the day on the balcony with the Royal Family.
There was a sweet moment between Kate and William when she looked over at her husband with a radiant smile.
The couple gazed at each other affectionately while their three children stood in front of them.

A loved-up state reception
The couple appeared to be very affectionate during a reception to welcome president Yoon Suk Yeol and First Lady Kim Keon Hee of South Korea in 2023.
William was seen putting his hand on his wife&#8217;s lower back and Kate reciprocated the sweet gesture by placing her hand on her husband&#8217;s back before holding his hand.

Giggles in Scotland
During a visit last year to the Outfit Moray charity in Scotland, which delivers outdoor learning programmes to young children, Kate and William put on a sweet display.
The Prince of Wales placed a loving arm around his wife&#8217;s shoulder as she laughed with a big smile while they chatted with charity members.
Kate wore a classy nova-check Burberry jacket and a practical pair of denim jeans.
William matched his wife in a green wax jacket and chinos &#8211; prepared for any traditional Scottish weather.

Caring Prince William
The couple shared a tender moment during their first official overseas visit after their wedding in 2011.
Both wore red hooded jumpers from the Canadian Rangers after being made honorary members.
They were on a nine-day tour of Canada and visited the Northwest Territories where they met the Dene tribe.

At one point William was seen fastening the top button of Kate&#8217;s sweater as they both smiled at one another.
The pair had only married three months before in a lavish ceremony at Westminster Abbey.
A helping hand for Kate&#8217;s mother
William has also shown his loving side in public to his mother-in-law Carole Middleton.
He attended Royal Ascot with her and Kate&#8217;s father Michael in June this year.
They appeared to have a particularly close bond as the pair laughed and smiled together during the day.

While Kate was absent due to her treatment, William stepped up to help make sure Carole was looked after.
At one point, the prince showed off his chivalrous side, coming to the rescue of Carole after a minor mishap.
Carole was seen having her very own Cinderella moment as her foot slipped out of her heel which was left behind in the ground, but she luckily had a charming prince on hand.
