Royal fans left swooning over Prince William's sweet PDA towards wife Kate Middleton

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridg e's first glamorous evening event of their Caribbean tour saw Kate steal the show in a beautiful hot pink gown.

But it wasn't what she was wearing that caught the eye of some royal fans - it was Prince William's seemingly adorable public display of affection that left royal watchers swooning.

The adorable moment came while the royal couple attended a reception hosted by the Governor-General of Belize at the Maya ruins at Cahal Pech, near San Ignacio.

At one point the royal couple had to walk across some rocky terrain and down some steep steps - and footage shows William, ever the gentleman taking his wife by the hand and guiding her down the steps to ensure she doesn't topple over.

A video of the cute moment was posted to Instagram - and royal fans flooded the comments section with how much the gesture warmed their hearts.

One said: "Helping her down the stairs, so sweet!"

Another wrote: "He is a gentleman.

While another added on Twitter : "Honestly they are just so happy and joyful this trip, it's been so lovely to see them in Belize, just enjoying the rich culture and learning more about Belizeans."

Meanwhile, during the reception last night, William gave a speech, where he said he was "thinking of those struggling in Ukraine " and added "we stand with them in solidarity".

He also referred to his children George, Charlotte and Louis and explained: "Catherine and I have been deeply touched by the warm welcome Belizeans have given us.

"We hope to return again soon and to show our children this wonderful country. They are rather jealous that they are not with us now!”

It was a marked departure from earlier in the day when William and Kate dressed down in their casual clothes as they visited ancient ruins.

The couple wore khaki trousers as they travelled deep into the heartland of Belize to visit the Maya ruins of Caracol, which date back to 1200 BC.

Kate teamed her trousers by G-Star, which retail for £70, with with a simple white T-shirt and Supergra white trainers and gold hoop earrings.

On the visit, she and William were given a tour of the site and had the chance to climb to the top and take in Caana, or sky palace, which remains the tallest man-made structure in Belize at 141ft.
