Kate Middleton, Princess of Wales, visited the Royal Air Force Coningsby in Lincolnshire to meet the members as a part of her royal duties. Serving as the Royal Honorary Air Commodore, she dressed up in a gray formal suit to pay the visit.
She was photographed flashing her infectious smile, but the highlight of the photo was a soldier completely charmed by her. The member of the RAF has a smitten look in his eyes while looking at her. The photo has been going viral, and the internet is loving it.
However, Prince William may not share the same feeling, considering the rocky patches of their relationship. Many netizens call the RAF pilot crushing on her and sparks flying in the air. Some people even went ahead and said that if she were single, there would have been something here.
Someone alert Prince William—this RAF pilot is clearly smitten with his wife The Princess of Wales! 🫢 Honestly, I’d be just as mesmerised meeting Princess Catherine. 😂 🩶✨ pic.twitter.com/sKBDqQP0PZ

One person commented, “His face speaks for all of us! She is just stunning.” Kate Middleton is known for her smile, which just melts everyone around her and is warm. Some users pointed out that everyone who meets Kate is smitten by her beauty, charm, and smile. The same thing happened during President Donald Trump and Melania’s trip to the UK.
A rare moment of warmth, Kate and Trump smiling at each other, was seen in a viral photo. Everyone seems to be enchanted by the princess; it’s her presence, as mentioned by an X user.

The photograph quickly went viral on X with people agreeing why the soldier was smitten by the Princess of Wales. One of them added, “And who can blame him?” One X user joked, “That photo’s already been printed, poster-size, and hung on his wall!” Another user added, “The Princess & the pilot!! What a beautiful photo!!”
In many public appearances, Kate Middleton has not exactly been appreciated. However, this time she appeared transformed with her new hair, subtle makeup, and grey tailored suit, casting a magical spell on everyone.
Great to meet personnel and their families at RAF Coningsby today. The base is home to one of the RAF’s Quick Reaction Alert teams, standing ready 24/7 to protect UK airspace. Fascinating to see the Typhoon team in action and to meet the dedicated teams who can be called upon at… pic.twitter.com/EeMpXUHqFo

During her visit to the RAF station, she saw the training facilities that prepare pilots for flying in dangerous weather. She also met the professionals and sat down with them to enjoy a cup of tea.
She was seen smiling and chatting with everyone around. Those who got to interact with her called her down to earth. One of the RAF members said, “She seemed interested in our lives.” That’s a very good quality to make someone feel important.
