The Princess of Wales was all smiles today at this year's Order of the Garter service, gazing adorably at husband Prince William as he walked proudly in the historic procession.
Royal fans were thrilled to catch a glimpse of the sweet moment between William and Kate, with some remarking that it put them in mind of a touching throwback pic from 2014.
It was remarked that Princess Kate looked "every ounce as giddy" as she did in the early years of her marriage, with the moment mirroring another fond glance shared during the service almost a decade ago.
In the years since the first pic, the Royal couple has been through various changes, welcoming their two younger children, Princess Charlotte and Prince George, and taking on new roles following the coronation of William's father, King Charles III.

Today's photo was taken outside Windsor Castle, where members of the Royal family had gathered to mark what was the first Garter Day procession of King Charles' reign.
Prince William, 40, could be seen walking alongside his uncle, Prince Edward, in the procession, both clad in traditional garments and plumed garments.
Kate, 41, could be seen looking on from the sidelines, and, as William gazed at her, she shot him an adoring look straight back, much to the delight of those keeping up with the proceedings at home.

Taking to Twitter, one fan gushed: "Their love just got stronger and her smile bigger for him with time."
Another wrote: "And she looks every ounce as giddy! So sweet".
A third tweeted: "Be still my heart!"
Looking as elegant as ever, Kate wore a polka dot dress by Alessandra Rich, which looked very much like a dress worn by her late mother-in-law Princess Diana at Royal Ascot back in 1988.
She finished off her look with a fetching black and white hat by Philip Treacy, and a stylish pair of Jennifer Chamandi white heels a black toe.
