Kate Middleton broke all protocol at the BAFTA Awards, yesterday Sunday, where she attended with her husband and heir to the British throne, Prince William.

She was initially praised for her look as she chose to wear the same gown she wore in 2019, but in a different style, stealing the show.

But the biggest sensation was made by an unexpected gesture, as a public sign of love and tenderness towards her husband.

The camera caught her fleetingly “grabbing” her behind while protocol prohibits any public intimacy – even holding hands.

As Vogue captioned it, the prince and princess proved they were ‘just like us’ – describing them as ‘a normal couple who sometimes likes to make a splash’.
