Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped out for a glam date night time this week, displaying up at the Royal Variety Performance in London in matching velvet appears (Kate paired hers with a informal pair of £1.6 million earrings).

And while date nights for these two have a tendency to be distinctly free of PDA due to royal protocol, the pair had been caught sharing a secret intimate second earlier than stepping out of their car—when William shortly kissed his spouse on the hand.

Body language specialist Judi James spoke about their vibes to The Express, saying, "Kate and William are regularly at their flirtiest satisfactory when they are each entirely glammed up for a red-carpet look and whilst Kate appears radiant here, William's physique language seems slightly bashful as he walks beside her. His palms hold barely in the front of his torso and his puckered smile suggests he is barely overwhelmed via the grinning glances Kate throws at him."

She added, "Kate appears assured here, strolling in advance to greet the hosts however with one eyebrow raised in that flirty sign as she appears throughout to William and he responds with a hand on her again in a gesture of guidance and protection."

Yes, the story is true—and it’s melting hearts across social media. On November 19, 2025, Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the Royal Variety Performance at London’s Royal Albert Hall, marking a glamorous “date night” in matching velvet outfits (Kate in an emerald green Talbot Runhof gown with Queen Elizabeth’s Greville Chandelier Diamond Earrings). As their car pulled up amid flashing cameras, a brief video clip captured William lifting Kate’s hand to his lips for a quick, tender air kiss just before they stepped out— a rare public display of affection for the couple, who typically keep PDA minimal due to royal protocol.

Body language expert Judi James noted to *The Express* that the pair seemed “at their flirtiest best,” with William appearing “slightly bashful” beside a radiant Kate. The moment quickly went viral on X (formerly Twitter), amassing hundreds of thousands of views, with fans zooming in on the 0:16 timestamp to confirm the sweet gesture. One user posted: “Did I just see him air kiss her hand at timestamp 0.16 before he got out of the car!?” sparking replies like “I slowed it down, it looks like it.” This appearance was especially poignant as Kate’s first major red-carpet event in two years following her 2024 cancer treatment.

For context, the Waleses have shared other affectionate clips in the past—like a 2023 polo kiss or a playful 2024 beach moment—but this one stands out for its intimacy in the spotlight. If you’re looking for the video, search #RoyalVarietyPerformance on X for fan-shared versions.
