Prince William moved many with his subtle tribute to his cancer-stricken wife, Kate Middleton, earlier this week, according to a royal expert.
On Tuesday, the Prince of Wales met Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako of Japan. Prince William kicked off the state visit by welcoming the Japanese guests to their hotel in London on behalf of his father, King Charles, People reported. He then traveled to the Horse Guards Parade in London for the ceremonial welcome with King Charles and Queen Camilla. During the ceremony, the future king noticeably âleft a spaceâ between him and the Japanese emperor as a tribute to the Princess of Wales, who couldnât join them.
âWhen there was the meeting on the Horse Guards Parade, the way William stood was significant,â Richard Fitzwilliams, British public relations consultant and royal commentator, told GB News. âHe had left a space symbolically for the love of his life, the Princess of Wales. This is something I think people were very touched by.â
GB host Nana Akua also praised the heir apparent while citing Taylor Swiftâs boyfriend, Travis Kelce. The Duke of Cambridge celebrated his 42nd birthday at Swiftâs concert at Wembley Stadium with his kids, Prince George, 10, and Princess Charlotte, 9, on June 21. He also met Swiftâs beau, and they even posed for a selfie.
âTravis Kielce said that he was a great guy,â Akua said in response to Fitzwilliamsâ revelation. âA lot of people seem to think that heâs a really special person, just from the way he has behaved and carried himself. The way heâs handling everything as well. I have to say, Iâm very impressed.â
The 34-year-old Kansas City Chiefs player opened up about meeting the future king in his and his brother Jason Kelceâs âNew Heights with Jason and Travis Kelceâ podcast. The athlete said Prince Willia was âthe coolest.â

âDude, he was the coolest motherf****r,â Kelce said of the royal dad of three.
Jason chimed in, âHe was awesome.â
âHe was so cool,â Travis added, doubling down on his statement.
Middleton has been undergoing preventative chemotherapy since announcing her cancer diagnosis in March. She is still not back to her royal duties, but she joined the royal family at this yearâs Trooping the Colour.
According to a source, the Princess of Wales was âworried she would look tired or too thinâ at her first public outing. However, she did well. Prince William and the rest of the royal family were reportedly very proud of her.
