Prince William and Duchess Kate wait alone on a bench for the train at night … This normal photo triggers storms of enthusiasm.
Prince William (38) and Duchess Kate (38) wait for the train alone on a platform on a wine-red metal bench at night. Both wear masks with their dark blue coats and look in the same direction, not at the camera. In the lantern light an empty rubbish bin can be seen on one side and the next bench on the other. On the sand-colored stone wall behind them, in the twilight, there is a large sign with the inscription "Please keep your distance" (German: "Please keep your distance") …
This photo along with the comment "Where are you going next?" Kensington Palace posted on Instagram Monday night as part of the documentation of the royal train journey (#RoyalTrainTour) tour. The Post collected more than half a million likes within a very short time and the enthusiastic fans also overturned in the comments, because the royal couple has rarely been seen more normally.
"I love this picture so much"
"I love this picture so much," writes the enthusiastic US designer Rachel Zoe (49), among others. "King and Queen" can be read as well as "This is probably the most beautiful photo of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge …" It is also commented with: "What a great photo" or "breathtaking" and "admirable". One user even thinks it "looks like on the way to Hogwarts. Sweet picture".
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge set out on their "Christmas Express" tour by train on Sunday. The Cambridges meet with health and care workers, volunteers, teachers, students and young people to talk to them about their "experiences, sacrifices and inspiring achievements in this challenging year," the palace said before the trip, according to media reports.
