Touching moment Prince William puts arm around brave Kate as they arrive at her 1st Royal event since finishing chemo
CARING Prince William has been spotted putting his arm around wife Kate Middleton as the royal pair arrived for the annual Festival of Remembrance.
The beaming Princess of Wales, 42, was seen entering the Royal Albert Hall in her first major event since finishing chemotherapy - with Wills supporting her every step of the way.
Heartfelt footage shows the pair arriving at the event as they climb out of a black car and speak to a group of people at the entrance to the iconic London venue.
The beloved duo are then seen standing next to each other as a brave Kate wraps her hand around Wills.
The comforting move prompts the Prince to look back at Kate as he flashes her a smile.
Moments later Wills returns the favour as he holds onto Kate and ushers her into the venue.

Kate was wearing an all black blazer and dress combo with Wills arriving in a navy suit as both had a poppy on to mark the occasion.
Princess Kate was also sporting the late Princess Diana's Collingwood Pearl Earrings.
Her poppy pin appeared to be RAF-themed.
They were shortly followed by King Charles, 76, who was at the event without Queen Camilla who is unwell with a chest infection.
The waiting crowd inside stood and applauded as Charles entered to a royal fanfare by state trumpeters.
The Prince and Princess of Wales took their seats next to each other as the King shortly followed.
The princess will also appear at the Remembrance Sunday service at the Cenotaph tomorrow.
It marks a significant step in the brave princess' return to public duties after she stepped back for eight months following treatment on an undisclosed form of cancer.
In a video released in September, Kate said she had finished her chemotherapy treatment.
She also spoke of how she was "looking forward to being back at work" and taking part in "a few more" engagements in the coming months.
But Kate said her focus remained "doing what I can to stay cancer free".
