Kate Middleton found herself in an awkward moment as Prince William appeared to snub her attempts to hold his hand.
The pair took to the BAFTAs red carpet on Sunday night (19th Feb), with Kate dazzling the crowd in a white one-shouldered gown and black velvet gloves that matched William’s pre-worn black velvet suit.
She matched her dressed with a pair of dangling earrings which she showed off by slicking her brunette locks back behind her ears.

Kate can be seen trying to hold onto William’s hand in a sweet gesture as they walked away from photographers and into the venue, however as she goes to interlace her fingers with his, William lifts his hand up to wave at fans nearby, completely ignoring her reach.
One on-looker who managed to get a video of the moment tweeted it, writing: “Oof. Don’t give up girl.”

“You will get your hand hold moment one day,” they wrote to Kate.
Another assumed the interaction proved there was a dying love between the pair, suggesting: “These two are finished as a couple. She shows all the Diana signs and he wants out as well. She might be scared to leave him seeing what happened to his mom.”

“She needs to give up at this point,” a third wrote, tagging a different video of a similar incident at a different event.
Another fan found a moment Kate finally got hold of her husband’s hand, but pointed out that William didn’t seem to like it. They joked: “This would be the first time and the last time to hold hands. Look at his face. He didn’t like it.”
