In a heartwarming moment, Princess Kate of Wales surprised everyone by giving a joyful hug and a kiss to football legend David Beckham during her visit to Boston with her husband, Prince William.
The royal couple hosted the earthshot prize ceremony on Friday, and it was during this event that the affectionate encounter took place.
Princess Kate greeted Beckham backstage at the official ceremony held at Boston's MGM Music Hall, where she puckered up and planted a kiss on his cheek, expressing her delight at seeing him.
Prince William also made a surprise appearance at the award ceremony, and he seemed equally pleased to meet his longtime friend.
The two exchanged greetings and shook hands, showcasing their warm bond.
Beckham arrived in Boston in a hybrid car, escorted by police, adding to the list of notable guests attending the event.
Over the years, he has had a close association with the royal family, particularly with Prince William, who has been the president of the England Football Association since 2006.
The 47-year-old football player, looking dapper in a tuxedo, mingled with other distinguished individuals before presenting one of the awards that evening.
Among the attendees were Ellie Goulding, James Bond actor Rami Malek, and aspiring Little Mermaid actress Halle Bailey, adding glamour to the event.
Despite his busy schedule and recent international travels, Beckham's appearance at the occasion marked his most recent public appearance.
Previously, Beckham had signed a contentious £10 million deal with Qatar, serving as an ambassador and attending several World Cup games in November.
However, he had to cut short his trip to be by his wife Victoria's side at her Mayfair store's Dover Street Christmas party.
The couple was seen leaving the store in matching black outfits, looking solemn.
During his unexpected appearance at the Earthshot Prize, Beckham presented the Build a Waste-Free World award to British start-up NotPla for its innovative recyclable seaweed packaging.
While Beckham's surprise appearance at the Earthshot Award stole some of the limelight, it was Princess Kate who truly captivated the audience.
She made her debut on the green carpet wearing a stunning neon green dress that she had rented from the website HUR.
The event, which was touted as one of the most environmentally friendly ever broadcast, awarded five other prizes, each worth £1 million.
These included initiatives such as training native rangers in Australia and a transportable greenhouse-in-a-box that aimed to boost harvests in India.
Last night's winners also included a method that turns atmospheric carbon into rock and a Kenyan organization founded by women promoting the use of cleaner stoves to reduce indoor pollution.
Princess Kate had the honor of presenting the Nukiru Clean Stoves with their award.
During her brief speech, she emphasized the importance of clean air, stating that many people around the world do not have the privilege of breathing clean air.
In other news, following Lady Susan Hussie's resignation over a race dispute, King Charles has extended an invitation to Ngozi Fulani to visit Buckingham Palace.

The encounter led to an explosive argument centered around race, prompting King Charles and Queen Consort Camilla to invite Fulani for a meeting at the palace.
Lady Hussie has since apologized for her remarks and stepped down from her position in the royal household.
Responding to the allegations, Prince Charles expressed his disappointment and condemned racism, stating that it has no place in society.
He described the sentiments as abhorrent and deemed Lady Hussie's resignation appropriate.
A spokesperson for the prince conveyed his message, expressing his deep disappointment regarding the guest's experience at Buckingham Palace.
The encounter between Princess Kate and David Beckham showcased the warmth and affection within the royal circle, while the incident involving Lady Hussie shed light on the importance of addressing racial issues and promoting inclusivity.
