The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were captured sharing an intimate moment during the recent US state banquet, as revealed by behind-the-scenes footage. Playing a significant role in hosting US President Donald Trump and First Lady Melania at Windsor Castle, William and Kate warmly welcomed the distinguished guests upon their arrival.

Following the banquet, the royal couple took to social media to share a polished video of the day’s events, showcasing their involvement in the prestigious occasion.
In a heartwarming gesture, William and Kate were spotted holding hands as they made their way to the banquet after posing for a photo together. President Trump praised Kate as “radiant, healthy, and beautiful” in his banquet speech, acknowledging her resilience after her battle with cancer earlier in the year.
Kate looked stunning in a custom creation by British designer Phillipa Lepley, donning a luxurious champagne gold hand-embroidered lace coat over a silk crepe gown. The President also commended Prince Charles, highlighting his exceptional qualities and expressing optimism for his future endeavors.
The evening culminated with Kate raising a toast to President Trump alongside other guests in St George’s Hall. Before the formal dinner, the Duke and Duchess posed for a portrait, capturing them in their exquisite attire, a snapshot later shared on Kensington Palace’s social media platforms.
Kate’s attire featured intricate hand-embroidered details, showcasing her support for British craftsmanship, while she accessorized with earrings belonging to the late Queen and wore the iconic Lover’s Knot Tiara.
