Prince William and Kate Middleton showed some rare PDA at an Arcade this week

Prince William and Kate Middleton shared the snap on their official Kensington Royal Instagram account. On Wednesday this week, Prince William and Kate Middleton stepped out for a royal engagement on Barry Island, where companies were resuming for the first time since closing in response to the covid pandemic earlier this year. Prince William and Kate Middleton have actually been returning to a few of their regular lives, which for senior working royals, suggests stepping out for public engagements.

Not everything about Prince William and Kate Middleton go back to public life has been precisely like it was before the covid pandemic hit, though. For one thing, Prince William and Kate Middleton have been practicing social distancing and wearing face masks to set a great example for others. And after that, this week, Prince William and Kate Middleton shared an extremely uncommon, however really sweet minute of public display of affection (PDA) at an engagement, which is a change we can all support.

The romantic moment went down on Wednesday, when Prince William and Kate Middleton visited Barry Island in honor of companies in Wales beginning the process of reopening after closing in response to covid earlier this year. During a visit to an arcade on the island, Prince William and Kate Middleton played some games and, in the bliss of the moment, Kate sweetly put a hand on William’s back while he tried his luck at a claw machine game – an uncommon moment of PDA from the Cambridges, who are generally mindful not to reveal physical love in public. It is not against the guidelines for royals to show PDA (Prince Harry and Meghan Markle do so regularly, for instance), however the couple has actually traditionally been reserved about showing physical affection in public. It is unusual to see royal couples holding hands on main trips.

While we are much less most likely to see Prince William and Kate Middleton holding hands in public, we often see Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall holding hands – it is all just a matter of preference for each couple and is also most likely based on the nature of the event they are going to.

A more major engagement would warrant a more severe level of professionalism, which each royal makes sure to follow. Prince William and Kate Middleton clearly felt fine about the intimate moment being photographed and even shared the shot on the official Kensington Royal Instagram account. “Thank you Wales for the beautiful reception yesterday,” Prince William and Kate Middleton captioned the photo.

It was terrific to see businesses and communities starting to return up and running, following a difficult couple of months for the tourism market and the broader economy.
