After eleven years of marriage: William and Kate turtle publicly

More than a decade of marriage is already behind Prince William and Duchess Kate. On the sidelines of a polo match, the two are now in love like on the first day. Physical advances like this are not usually seen in public by the royals.

Duchess Kate and Prince William rarely show their love in public. However, the two made an exception during a charity polo match in Windsor. Kate hugged her husband and kissed his cheek affectionately after his team won. The couple then left the field in a tight embrace.

Kate wore a long white dress with black accents to the event. She combined beige and black slingbacks, large earrings and sunglasses.

Royal etiquette expert Myka Meier told People magazine there are no formal rules for royal couples. "Royals often adapt their demeanor to the formality of the event they are attending," she explained. Whether Kate and William hug or kiss in public is at their own discretion.

Another rarity at the fundraiser, which raised more than $1 million for a charity, was the family dog. The cocker spaniel lady Orla was also allowed to come to the event near Windsor Castle. She moved in with the Royals in late 2020.

William and Kate just celebrated their eleventh wedding anniversary in April. The two met back in 2001 while they were at university. The dream wedding took place on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London. William and Kate have three children together: Prince George was born in 2013. This was followed by Princess Charlotte in 2015 and Prince Louis in 2018.
