While talking quietly during the ceremony, which took place at Edinburgh’s St Giles Cathedral, Kate could be seen cheekily tapping William on the behind - at least it appeared as though it was his behind due to his flowing robes.
The truth is yet to be revealed but the photos show her hand around her husband’s lower back if not lower.
It’s not the first time the couple have been caught in a cheeky PDA moment. Earlier this year while attending the BAFTAs, Kate set the internet alight when she was caught giving her husband a gentle pat on the bum.
At the time it was a rare moment of PDA for the two having since gone on to have a couple more touchy moments in public this year, however, they were seen relaxed and smiley at the event and one camera caught the flirty exchange.
It quickly went viral on social media with one fan writing, “Oh yes! I saw it!!!” while another commented, “Oh my, oh my, oh my yes I did see that. Wow! I couldn’t love those two any more if I tried. Fantastic.”
“I see it too! How lovely, actually,” a third wrote.
While William and Kate’s recent public displays of affection have sparked speculation it’s a response to Harry and Meghan’s own touchy moments, other theories state it could be because Charles is more relaxed about royal protocol in comparison to his mother, the late Queen Elizabeth.
While there is no bona fide restriction on how much or how little PDA the royal family is allowed to engage in during royal business, Elizabeth was known for following the unspoken rule and was rarely seen holding hands with her husband, the late Prince Philip in public, never mind other forms of affection.
Now, with Charles’ more relaxed approach to monarchy life, it may be giving the couple more room for public displays of affection.
