Reportedly, the sweet photo was taken before the couple married in 2011. Earlier this year, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge celebrated their eight year anniversary, and now have three children together - Prince George, Princess Charlotte and Prince Louis.

The royal couple choose not to hold hands in public, and body language expert Robert Kermode claims it’s because of the Queen.

He previously told the Daily Mail that the Queen and Prince Philip are rarely affectionate with each other in public, so the Duke and Duchess could be following in their royal footsteps.
