Flirty Moment at Royal Ascot: Kate Middleton Gives Prince William a Cheeky Tap on the Bottom
The Prince and Princess of Wales, along with King Charles and Queen Camilla, attended the Royal Ascot on Friday.
The event was a huge success, with Catherine and William receiving cheers from racegoers.
They were seen taking part in the traditional Royal Carriage procession, with Catherine wearing a red dress by Alexander McQueen and a matching Philip Treacy hat.
William looked smart in a morning suit and top hat.
The couple was pictured looking at the trophies before greeting jockey Oisin Murphy after he won the Commonwealth Cup on Shaquille.

Catherine gave William a cheeky tap on the bottom as they prepared to present the trophy.
This moment surprised many, and people are still talking about it.
Earlier this year, the Princess also gave William a pat on his bottom on the bathtub red carpet.
A clip of them went viral, and Royal fans loved the cheeky moment, saying it was a flirty PDA.
According to body language expert Judy James, Kate performed the gesture following a mistake by William, and she used it as a reprimand.
This bum tap gesture is part of a swift series of nonverbal signals between the couple known as tie signs.
They were more tactile than usual for this red carpet appearance, and their very glamorous styling gave them the look of an A-lister power couple.
Like all good A-listers, Kate seemed to be using tie signs or nonverbal cues to help choreograph their movements.
But there was one small moment when they appeared to fall out of sync, possibly due to the fact that William seemed unable to keep his eyes off his stunning wife.
Tonight, Kate celebrated and clapped from the Royal box after the aptly named St. Jingham Stakes was won by co-piece written by popular jockey Frankie Dettori.
Other members of the Royal family at the races today were Princess Beatrice, Edoardo Mappelli Mozzi, as well as Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh, and Prince and Princess Michael of Kent.
Kate Middleton and Beatrice had a sweet nod at two outfits that Diana and Fergie wore back in 1990 to the same event.
The two princesses joined racegoers when they took part in the traditional carriage procession along with Prince William and the King and Queen.
The outfits mirrored those worn almost 33 years ago.
Pictured along with the late Queen Mother and the Prince Charles, Diana wore a striking red jacket on the first day of Royal Ascot in an open carriage on June 19th, 1990, along with a purple skirt similar to what Kate wore today.
Fergie could be seen in a full red dress and similar red and pink hat as today Beatrice wore an intricate light-coloured dress.
Just as Fergie and Diana arrived together for the first day of the 1990 event, Beatrice and Kate did today.
Meanwhile, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are reportedly begging the Spencer clan to use their last name Spencer to pay tribute to Princess Diana.
Only a dumb person will not realise this is a dark plot to exploit the Spencer name.
That’s always been her passion, that’s always been Harry’s passion and Meghan went to the extent of suggesting that they should drop the name Windsor and take the surname Spencer so she’d be Meghan Spencer to new Diana.
Charles should help them, strip them their titles and ban them from using the Windsor name too.
In conclusion, the Royal Ascot was a successful event, with Catherine and William stealing the show with their flirty moment.
