For years, royal photographer Samir Hussein has been capturing images of Prince William and Princess Kate during their royal engagements. One of his favorite photos was taken on their tour of India in 2016. "One day in Bhutan, William and Kate tried their arms at some archery," Hussein recalled to Us in a recent interview tied to the opening of a new London exhibition called The Princess Diana: Accredited Access Exhibition.
"Kate fired the arrow, and for a second, it looked like it was coming straight towards me. I ran out of the way but was able to grab my camera just in time to get a picture," he continued. "Kate was laughing her head off, and then you've got William by her side, and they're both laughing," added Hussein.
"There are always little moments where you can really see the love between them."
Such was the case at the June 15 Trooping the Colour, Kate's first public appearance since revealing her cancer diagnosis in March.
There, the pair - accompanied by their kids, Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, 9, and Prince Louis, 6 - appeared closer than ever as they stood shoulder to shoulder and happily waved to fans from the balcony of Buckingham Palace. "Kate was gazing at William," says a source.
"[They looked] all loved up." It had been six months since William and Kate were last seen at an official royal event. As the pair stood alongside King Charles III, 75 (who's dealing with his own cancer diagnosis), and his wife, Queen Camilla, 76, the source says there was a marked difference in their body language.
"William and Kate seem like a different couple! They used to be more reserved. But now, they can't help but look at each other and smile."
