Prince William and Kate’s Sweet Moments Caught on Camera

Prince William and Princess Kate’s loving eye contact was praised by fans on TikTok in a viral video.

The Prince and Princess of Wales have had a rocky 2024 after she was diagnosed with cancer and underwent chemotherapy treatment.

And with the princess mostly out of the public eye, fans looked back on some of the couple’s loved-up moments from past royal events.

A video on TikTok was viewed almost 100,000 times and liked14,800 times after it was posted with the message: “Realizing she never wanted the money, the title or the crown. She just wanted him.”

The opening clip from the video shows the couple at a ceremonial welcome for the president and first lady of South Korea, who visited in November 2023.

The edit then cuts to William and Kate lying side by side on the beach in Norfolk, in eastern England, in a clip from a video she released in September announcing the end of her chemotherapy.

One reply read: “Obviously because the royal family comes with sooo much stress and attention on you so why would she do it if she didn’t want him.”

Another read: “Diana surely smiling up there, because William got what she always wanted. To be loved and a happy family. I just wish she was there with them to witness it all.”

Another read: “If only Diana had that true love ❤️I know she’s looking down on William and his beautiful family.”

The video came shortly before Queen Camilla pulled out of engagements this week following a chest infection in the latest health concern for the royals.

Prince William was on a solo tour of South Africa, giving a speech on Tuesday night at the United for Wildlife Global Showcase, Cape Town.

“Unfortunately, the troubling reality that we face is that our planet’s natural systems are rapidly approaching an irreversible tipping point, driven by unprecedented nature loss and climate change,” he told guests.

“Since 1970, we have witnessed a staggering 73 percent decline in the average size of global wildlife populations.

“That figure alone highlights the fragility of our ecosystems and the urgency of our mission.

“The illegal wildlife trade is a key driver of this decline, putting countless species at risk. It is a far-reaching problem that also undermines security and governance worldwide.

“Beyond its impact on nature, it fuels organized crime, and is often entangled with other illicit activities like drug smuggling, arms trafficking and human exploitation.

“The growth of these criminal networks fosters environments where violence against law enforcement and conservationists becomes commonplace.”
