Royal fans have been charmed by Princess Catherine and Duchess Sophie's heartwarming reactions as they caught sight of their husbands at the Order of the Garter service in Windsor this afternoon.
As the ceremony commenced, Catherine and Sophie were seen chatting in the sunshine while waiting for Prince Edward and Prince William to appear in the parade. The Order of the Garter is one of the most iconic royal traditions, held annually just days after Trooping the Colour, which celebrates the monarch's official birthday.
A Tradition Since 1348
The service, founded by King Edward III in 1348, is an annual parade in Windsor. This year, the royals gathered at St George's Chapel for the event.
Adoring Reactions
When their husbands came into view, both Catherine and Sophie were seen grinning widely. Sharing a clip on X, one account wrote: "This moment when Princess Catherine and Duchess Sophie spot their respective husbands." Another fan added: "I always love exactly that moment with both of them and their husbands – there's such a flirty and lovely sparkle in their eyes."
A third commented: "They are such school girls still." Another user noted: "Well said... so true... this is so beautiful to watch as one part of a deep trust, love and bond with sense of humour... youthful carefreeness and lightness between challenging days and times."
Catherine wore a butter yellow outfit with a matching hat, standing at St George's Chapel's Galilee porch to watch the procession. Beside her, the Duchess of Edinburgh donned a pink and blue floral motif with a matching pink and nude hat.
