Prince William and Princess Kate’s dance moves have gone viral in a new video that resurfaced on social media ahead of their 13th wedding anniversary. The couple, who married in 2011 after a 10-year courtship, have been working as royals, undertaking official visits and tours on behalf of Queen Elizabeth II. Fans have shared lighthearted moments online, including clips of the couple dancing with hosts and locals during their tours. A recent TikTok video compared footage of William and Kate dancing in Tuvalu in 2012 to their more recent visit to the Caribbean in 2022.
During their visit to Tuvalu in 2012, William and Kate participated in a Vaiku Falekaupule ceremony, where they were presented with traditional clothing and joined in the dancing and festivities. William was captured offering a signature dance move, raising his arms and moving his hips to the music. In their 2022 visit to Belize in the Caribbean, the couple took part in a Garifuna festival, where Kate happily danced with organizers and participants, while William’s moves once again garnered attention. The TikTok video has gained over 700,000 views, with many users praising the royals’ dance skills and expressing admiration for the couple.
Since the beginning of 2024, William and Kate have been under increased public focus due to Kate’s ongoing health issues. In January, Kate underwent abdominal surgery, followed by the announcement in March that she had cancer and was undergoing preventative chemotherapy. As Kate focuses on her treatment and recovery, Prince William has limited his public appearances to be with his wife and their three children. The couple’s commitment to supporting each other during this challenging time has garnered support and admiration from fans and well-wishers.
