Princess Kate reveals when she finds William sexy on camera

Princess Kate appears to say she loves Prince William “in uniform” because he “is so, so sexy” and has gone viral on TikTok.

A lip reader attempted to decode Kate’s remarks after they were filmed at Prince William’s graduation parade at Sandhurst Military Academy in 2006.

The couple were both 24 at the time and were still five years away from the marriage that would make Kate a future queen.

During the show, cameras captured Kate making impromptu comments that were later decoded by a lip reader on a documentary The Royal Wivesbroadcast by True Royalty TV.

Kate, according to the lip reader, said: “I love him in uniform, he’s so, so sexy.”

Newsweek has contacted Kensington Palace for comment.

A clip of Kate’s comments went viral on TikTok, where it has been liked 74,000 times and viewed 506,000 times.

One reply read: “She’s so real for this, I understand you my girl 😭” while another wrote: “With you Catherine!! Damn, it’s good!!!”

Kate’s presence, alongside her parents Carole and Michael Middleton, was a key moment in their relationship as it demonstrated how official her status was becoming.

Rebecca English, the Daily MailThe royal editor of ‘s, told the Channel 5 documentary William and Kate: too good to be true:”We didn’t expect Kate and her family to show up, and myself and a number of photographers and journalists were all standing together on a press stand.

“Suddenly, out of the corner of our eye, we saw Kate, her mother and father being led to the front seats.

“I remember turning to the person next to me and telling them it was done, it was a done deal. This woman was going to be our future queen.”

However, Kate and William were not out of the woods yet as they briefly separated at the end of that year.

Robert Jobson wrote in his 2024 biography Catherine, Princess of Wales:”As Catherine approached her 25th birthday in January 2007, he (William) unexpectedly cancelled plans to attend a New Year’s Eve gathering in Dundee, hosted by the Middletons.

“She sensed something was wrong. It certainly didn’t help that the newspapers were confidently predicting a royal engagement. Not long after, as luck would have it, William, now a second lieutenant in the Blues and Royals, phoned her to suggest they split up.

“He told her they both needed some space to find their own paths and that he was unable to promise her marriage. During an emotional 30-minute conversation, they both acknowledged they were on “different pages.”

“It was a devastating blow to Catherine, who felt doubly disappointed at having been dumped over the phone. Although it was not the first time William had ended their relationship, it felt final.”

It wasn’t final, of course. The couple got back together and married at Westminster Abbey in April 2011.
