Prince William’s rare intimate gesture towards Kate everyone missed

The Prince and Princess of Wales were last-minute additions at the star-studded VE Day concert on Thursday evening.

As Prince William and Catherine arrived at the royal box at the event, held at London’s Horse Guards Parade, they were seen sharing a sweet moment together.

The Prince, 42, was seen with his hand tenderly placed on his wife’s back as the pair spoke with guests and veterans before taking their seats.

Catherine, 43, looked beautiful in a white tweed jacket and a chiffon skirt from Self Portrait, accessorising with pearl jewellery and a statement black bow in her hair.

The couple, who celebrated their 14th wedding anniversary last month, were also seen exchanging loving glances, smiles and giggles as they watched the performances.

Stars such as Freya Ridings, Fleur East, Strictly dancers Amy Dowden, Carlos Gu and Kai Widdrington, The Darkness and actor Brian Cox were among the performers at the VE Day: A Celebration To Remember event, televised live on the BBC.

William and Catherine also looked visibly moved as the Prince’s father, the King, delivered an address at 9pm – the exact time his grandfather, King George VI, spoke to the nation in a radio broadcast on 8 May 1945 to mark the end of the Second World War in Europe.

Date night

There were plenty of loving glances and smiles between the couple.

Sadly their children, Prince George, 11, Princess Charlotte, ten, and Prince Louis, seven, couldn’t join them for the concert as it was a school night.
