Will Warr/Kensington Palace Why It Matters A TikTok video combining the two clips was liked 10k times and viewed 103k times, having been posted with the message: "Still can't believe these two have me making brf edits." The on screen caption read: "They're torturing me, the way she squeezed his arms." What to Know The first two clips in the TikTok video came from Kate's "Mother Nature: Spring" video, released earlier in May. "Over the past year, nature has been my sanctuary," Kate said in the film. "It is through nature, that we can fully understand the true interconnectedness of all things, the importance of balance and the importance of renewal and resilience. "Connecting to nature helps us to experience a deeper sense of ourselves, the world around us, and each other." The TikTok video went on to show William and Kate speaking to veterans at a concert to mark the 80th Anniversary of VE Day on Horse Guards Parade on May 8, 2025. The onscreen caption read: "The man [a guest at the concert] wants a kiss from Catherine. Look at him [William] standing there like her bodyguard." The creator suggested William appeared "just a little stressed" before the video went on to show other clips of the couple putting a hand on each other's backs. What People Are Saying One reply read: "They've had 20 years and they are still the same," while another wrote: "The second clip hellooo." What Happens Next The palace have suggested Kate's video was the first in a series celebrating the passing of the seasons. This one was for Spring, so fans can look forward to a second in the months to come celebrating summer. Jack Royston is chief royal correspondent for Newsweek, based in London.

Character visits also included Stitch, Skye (Paw Patrol), The Hulk and Spiderman.
