Prince William and Kate Middleton are starting to show their supporters a very different side of their relationship.
After years of showing restraint during public appearances, the future king and queen of England are no longer afraid to display some affection.
Earlier this week, 40-year-old Prince William was at the Guards Polo Club in Windsor, Berkshire, for a polo game. The father of three seemed in a great mood, and at some point, he shared a tender moment with his wife.
In a rare display of affection, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge kissed at the event.
It was a brilliant way to celebrate Prince William’s victory. However, it was a surprising move to some.
Moreover, the whole scene played out like what Prince Harry and Meghan Markle did a few weeks ago after a polo game in California.
Prince Harry, who is still adjusting to his new environment in California, has decided to join the local polo team with some friends. His spouse is often present at the games to show her support.
The activists, who are not shy when it comes to PDAs, are often seen holding hands. The former actress does kiss her husband after games. The similar scene has some saying that William is taking a page from his brother.
William needs a softer image as he prepares to become the new face of the British monarchy with his popular wife. Wrapping up a polo game with a kiss on the cheek is definitely a step in the right direction.
Middleton, 40, looked stunning in a white maxi dress from Emilia Wickstead that costs over $1,626. She paired the outfit with nude and black flat shoes from designer Camilla Elphick. They are available for $234.
The elegant attire was a hit with royal supporters who say that the Duchess is coming into her own in the royal family.
Some experts say that the two couples could be competing for attention in the future. Prince Harry and Markle are destined to take on bigger roles with their philanthropy and activism. Prince William and Middleton will also become more prominent in the royal family.
There might be a temptation to outdo the other one. The two brothers have always been very competitive. In the next few years, things might get even more intense.
They could compete to determine who is the better environmentalist, the most affectionate husband, and overall royal. This week’s public display of affection shows that William is not ready to cede any ground to his brother.
The 2022 Outsourcing Inc. Royal Charity Polo Cup game, which got a lot of attention in the media, was about raising money for charities supported by the powerful pair.
