Twenty years, three kids, and a whole lot of royal engagements later, Prince William and Kate Middleton still know how to sneak in a sweet moment. Especially when it involves a polo match and a very satisfying charity total.
While the Windsors aren't exactly known for their public smooches, the Prince and Princess of Wales recently reminded everyone that even future monarchs can get a little flirty.
On July 10th, Prince William was out on the field, mallet in hand, playing in a charity polo game. And who was there, looking perfectly poised on the sidelines? None other than Kate, ready to cheer on her husband.

Start Your News DetoxNow, royal etiquette is a tricky beast. You can't just go around snogging your spouse at, say, a formal state dinner. That's a definite no-no. But a polo match? After raising a cool £1 million for charity? Apparently, that's fair game.
Royal expert Myka Meier, who clearly keeps tabs on these things, told People that senior royals are trusted to use their judgment. Which, in this case, meant a congratulatory kiss and a hug were perfectly acceptable. And frankly, a little endearing.
The couple even shared a photo of the moment on Instagram, because if a royal kiss happens and it's not on social media, did it really happen? The caption highlighted the Royal Charity Polo Cup's 15-year history of doing good, noting this year's impressive £1 million haul.
Fans, naturally, ate it up. One commenter perfectly summed up the collective 'aww,' declaring, "Last picture has my heart." Because even with all the pomp and circumstance, sometimes it's just nice to see a couple being, well, a couple.
