Kate appears to smack Prince William’s bum as they arrive at the BAFTAs

Despite be notoriously anti-PDA, The Princess of Wales appeared to smack Prince William’s bum as they arrived at the BAFTAs earlier this evening.

Proving that they are just like any other couple, the pair seemed to giggle as they headed inside the Royal Festival Hall for the glamorous event.

One fan dubbed the Prince a ‘good boy’ as they shared the clip which is going viral online.

There were some strong looks this afternoon as stars rocked up to Royal Festival Hall, with Florence Pugh sporting a bold, bright orange number that she matched with gelled spiky hair and actor and singer Ariana DeBose keeping it classic with a floor-length black dress.

However, if there was an award for being gorgeous – it would have to go to her highness.

Tweeting a photo of the pair, one person said: “Is it possible Kate has had this previous BAFTA dress reworked for tonight?”

Someone else commented: “That’s exactly what I was thinking!”

A third added: “I think so! And it looks stunning.”

Indeed, the one-shouldered dress was the Alexander McQueen garment she has previously worn, having been paired this time with black opera-style gloves to switch things up a bit.

One fan tweeted: “Kate in a repeat modified dress is so dang good... this is the fashion influencing I’m talking about #bafta.”

Someone else said: “I LOVE the look of Kate and William at the BAFTAs. Kate reusing a McQueen dress (of course) with those earrings and those gloves. Also, I don't think I've ever seen William wear velvet before. Wow.”
