Rare moment of affection between Kate and Will captured by hotel guest
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been caught in a rare moment of affection during their Bahamas trip earlier this year.
TikTok creator Jimmy Rex, who shares videos @mrjimmyrex, says he happened to be staying at the same hotel as the couple when he spotted them leaving for an engagement.
He quickly began filming the pair who smiled and waved in his direction as they walked by.

He posted the video along with the description: "This couple staying in the Bahamas had 35 security guards", with many of his followers delighting in the fact Will and Kate were holding hands the entire time.
This may have been practical in nature as Kate was dressed in white heels and walking on the smooth surface that may have proved slippery.

"They were holding hands, yay," writes one TikTok follower.
"Lovely to see them holding hands," adds another.
"Aw they look so relaxed," says one Tiktoker.
Another comments: "And they are holding hands."
Royal displays of affection are rare, even from the Prince William, 39, and Kate Middleton, 40, although they broke the mold early on in their relationship, sharing public displays of affection from the moment they were engaged in 2010.
While this was a candid and private moment, upon arrival at events in the Bahamas they walked side by side, foregoing holding hands during official engagements.

"Casually runs into the royal family," writes one of his TikTok followers.
"So interesting to see them holding hands, I never seen them doing it in the media," adds another.
"Aw they rarely hold hands in public," another observes.
"OMG I would have died if I had seen them in person," adds another.
