Princess Kate, who made her eagerly awaited return to competition on Friday, narrowly avoided an awkward blunder during Williams’ polo victory.
The Princess of Wales was in attendance at Guards Polo Club in Egham to cheer on her husband and his victorious teammates during her first appearance at the prestigious event since 2023 following her cancer treatment and recovery.
Their appearance comes amid reports of Harry and Meghan meeting King Charles and Queen Camilla – a reunion also believed to have included Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet.
The trophy presentation took an unexpected turn when a player went to lift the trophy for a group shot.
The trophy wobbled precariously on its base and almost fell to Kate’s feet.
The moment was caught on camera and showed Catherine laughing at the near miss as the future monarch first covered her face in disbelief before breaking into a smile.
After the match, the royal couple shared a rare public display of affection, with Catherine greeting her husband with a kiss on the cheek as he came off the field still wearing his riding boots and jersey.
The pair were subsequently seen walking hand in hand as they departed.
