If you’re a royals fan like me, it clearly came as the biggest surprise (and shock) of the month to hear Kate Middleton would be making her return to the public eye at Trooping the Colour this past weekend. Her announcement—which included a detailed health update—was at once moving and astoundingly honest.
But then came the appearance itself. And like many other royal reporters, I was so focused on Kate’s dress, Louis’s faces and Charles and Kate’s show of solidarity that I nearly missed another gorgeous moment: a show of genuine affection between Princess Catherine and Prince William.
