William and Kate, who recently celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary, have three children: Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6.
The couple’s love story began in their college years, leading to their engagement in 2010 and subsequent marriage.
Earlier this year, the family faced increased media attention after Kate stepped back from the public eye due to health concerns.
In March, she revealed her cancer diagnosis following a surgery in January and shared that she was undergoing preventative chemotherapy.
In the absence of new appearances, fans have been sharing cherished memories of the royal couple. One such memory, posted by TikTok user @helensmccrory, shows William and Kate’s 2015 visit to Portsmouth.
William and Kate were there to meet Sir Ben Ainslie, a four-time Olympic sailing gold medalist, during the British leg of the America’s Cup World Series.
The video, which has garnered over 224,000 views and 20,900 likes, features several clips of William’s playful and protective reactions as Kate interacted with Ainslie.
“He’s so silly,” wrote the poster in the caption. One commenter added, “Him being overprotective is my favorite thinggg,” while another said, “STOP I live for jealous Will.”
During their Portsmouth visit, William and Kate spent time with Ainslie, discussing the race and the British team’s efforts.
Over the years, the couple has maintained a friendly rapport with the sailor. In 2022, Kate even participated in a friendly Commonwealth race with his crew.
In 2019, William and Kate launched the King’s Cup, a sailing race along the Isle of Wight’s coast, to raise funds for their charities.
Buckingham Palace had hoped to make the race an annual event, but the COVID-19 pandemic disrupted those plans.
Fans continue to celebrate past moments of the royal couple, it is clear that William’s protective nature and enduring love story is a source of joy and inspiration.
