And whilst the inspiring engagement certainly seems to have struck a chord with royal fans, it wasn’t the only aspect of the post that captured people’s attention. Many people also took to the comments to share their excitement at seeing such a relaxed and smiling Prince William, dubbing him “beautiful”.
“HRH Hottie”, one fan wrote excitedly. “Lol. Sorry, no disrespect YRH, but The Duke is getting more and more gorgeous as he gets older!”
Whilst another person agreed, responding simply, “Beautiful man his smile is so so cute”.
“Beautiful man, inside and out! He has his mothers looks and heart”, a third person replied.
And they weren’t the only one to spot the family resemblance, as several others also expressed their belief that Prince William’s looks reminded them of his late mother.
“He looks so much like Princess Diana in the 3rd picture”, someone else declared.
“That’s Diana’s smile,” a fellow fan stated, whilst another person echoed this sentiment, writing, “His Mum through and through an absolute delight”.
These brilliant reactions to Prince William's recent appearance come as he paid “heartwarming” tribute to another significant royal relative, his late grandfather, in the new BBC Prince Philip documentary.
The documentary makers went inside Buckingham Palace and also interviewed all four of Prince Philip and the Queen’s children and many of their grandchildren for this poignant special. Prince William was the one to open the initial teaser trailer as he discussed Prince Philip's inspiring influence on his and his family's lives.
"He has always been a huge presence behind everything we have done, really," Prince William powerfully declared.
