Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the official ship naming of the HMS Glasgow on Thursday.
During their appearance, the Prince and Princess of Wales turned heads with their coordinated outfits.
On Instagram, a fan posted a video clip capturing William and Kate passing by some fans gathered.
The video showcased a heartfelt moment as one fan praised the Princess of Wales, shouting from the crowd, "You're beautiful!"
However, the fan quickly added to the Prince of Wales, "You too, William!" to which the future King hilariously responded, "You don't have to say that. Don't worry."
The moment sparked giggles from the crowd and William placed arm on Kate's arm as they headed off.
During the ceremony, Kate, who was appointed as the Sponsor of HMH Glasgow in June 2021, played a key role. The Princess of Wales also smashed a bottle of whiskey against the ship's hull, which is a tradition called a ship christening.
The official Instagram handle of the Prince and Princess of Wales shared a photo of Kate Middleton meeting Royal Navy Ship's company of HMS Glasgow at Windsor castle.
Notably, this outing by the future King and Queen comes after Prince William's visit to the Leith Community Centre in Scotland.
On Wednesday, the Prince of Wales made an appearance at the Leith Community Centre for the launch of Leith United.
The statement issued, read, "Proud to mark the launch of Leith United, a new social enterprise bringing together @streetsoccerscotland, @ymcaedinburgh and the @leithcommunitycentre Association to deliver health, wellbeing and social connection for thousands of residents."
"Through the Royal Foundation's Community Impact Programme, support has been provided to protect this vital local hub from closure and to turn it into a sustainable centre for opportunity and belonging," it further read.
