Princess Kate once awkwardly rejected the Prince of Wales’ attempt of affection during a Christmas special broadcast live on TV.
It first appeared back in 2019 when Kate and William appeared on the BBC special A Berry Royal Christmas, with Bake-off legend and TV personality Mary Berry.
The heir apparent was seen trying to put his hand on his wife’s shoulder before she appeared to shrug it off in the cringeworthy moment.

On the show, the royals were making cups of tea and icing cupcakes, while Mary even innocently asked Kate if she wanted to “have a squirt on a cake” after handing her a piping bag during the special. The show centred around the TV star visiting several charities which the Princess of Wales supports.

However, it didn’t just end there and Kate and William even got involved in some baking, with the pair making some pizza dough for Mary Berry. Kate went on to gush about how Prince Louis’ first word was ‘Mary’ because he always sees her cookbooks in the kitchen.
She also revealed Princess Charlotte loves Charlotte potatoes and Prince George loves drawing and football. While William makes a good breakfast and spaghetti bolognese. Kate also said she makes her own kids’ birthday cakes. It came as Louis warmed the hearts of viewers on Christmas Eve that year as he stole the show during his mum’s Royal Carols: Together At Christmas, which aired on ITV.
The carol service focused on the importance of early childhood and thanking those who are supporting the very youngest members of society during their early years, as part of the Shaping Us campaign. During the special concert, viewers spotted an adorable Prince Louis moment as he “stole the show”. During the concert, legendary actor Jim Broadbent read an extract from The Father Christmas Letters by JRR Tolkien. Young Prince Louis was seen excitedly pointing and smiling at Jim, 74, during the reading.

Taking to Twitter, now X, one person said: “So cute the way Prince Louis’s face lit up when Jim Broadbent did his reading of Letters from Father Christmas from J.R.R.Tolkien! #RoyalCarols #TogetherAtChristmas”, a different account put: “Louis is honestly the cutest little boy. #RoyalCarols” while another added: “Oooh Louis’s first stealing of the show! #RoyalCarols.”
Elsewhere, the young Royal took centre stage when he attempted to blow out a candle at Westminster Abbey. He was pictured as he took a deep breath to put out his candle at the concert earlier this month. Louis, who is fifth in the line to the throne, stole the show as he brought joy to Kate, who broke out into a huge smile. He was joined by his siblings Prince George, nine, and Princess Charlotte, seven, at the service, who later posted cards to children in need outside of the abbey.
