Prince William-Kate Middleton's sweet PDA steals the spotlight during​ South Korean President's state visit at Buckingham Palace

The Prince and Princess of Wales were completely captivated by each other as they greeted the South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol during his state visit to the UK on Tuesday.

The royal couple were caught sharing a discreet PDA as they joined King Charles and Queen Camilla in exploring artifacts from the Royal Collection alongside South Korean President and First Lady Kim Keon-hee at Buckingham Palace on Tuesday afternoon. This occurred after the royals had treated their guests to a ceremonial welcome and a carriage ride earlier in the day.

Footage from the event captures the royals, including the Duchess of Edinburgh, admiring Korean-related items as they entertained their guests. Towards the conclusion of the tour, an aide is seen approaching William and Kate, seemingly indicating that it's time to depart.


Prompted by the aide's indication, William gently placed his hand on his wife's back, reciprocated by Kate, and the couple took several steps arm in arm as they exited the palace Picture Gallery.

This endearing moment did not escape the notice of royal fans, who expressed delight at witnessing the couple's sweet interaction. One enthusiast commented, "Aww, how adorable! Those two love each other so much," while another remarked, "I love them. So genuine. Nothing posed for cameras, just a dedicated, loving couple."

This heartwarming scene followed a display of diplomacy by the King and Queen for their Korean visitors, showcasing the earliest communication between the two nations. Emerging from lunch, which had a brief interruption due to news of North Korea launching a satellite, the royals presented the first evidence of diplomatic relations—a letter from King Gojong to Queen Victoria, marking a treaty of friendship and commerce in 1883.

President Yoon Suk Yeol marveled at artifacts from Sir Winston Churchill, including a signed copy of 'The Second World War: The Gathering Storm Volume I,' sent to King George VI. Prince Charles proudly showcased photos of the Gwanghuamun Gate in Seoul, a site he had contributed to conserving and restoring as the Prince of Wales.

The visitors, guided by translators, also had the opportunity to view the late Queen’s speech from her 1999 State Visit. Meanwhile, William was overheard discussing plans for karaoke with Korea’s Foreign Minister Park Jin.
