Top 10 Royal kisses
The first public kiss between a Royal couple is sometimes cute, sometimes passionate, sometimes even uncomfortable but ALWAYS worth a watch! Ahead, 10 Royal Wedding kisses from recent years.
-
Just last week, Bhutan's stunning newly-wed Royals, King Jigme Khesar Nagyel Wangchuck and Queen Jetsun Pema, thrilled the public with not one but three kisses. They outdid the British Royals, William and Kate, who kissed twice on public insistence after their first kiss was overruled for being just a peck.
-
William and Kate's fairy tale wedding ended in a fairy tale moment on the balcony of Buckingham Palace. The new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge kissed not once but twice on public demand. The first kiss was too much of a peck and William and Kate readily obliged with a second more lingering one.
-
The eldest granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth, Zara Phillips and England Rugby captain Mike Tindall shared a kiss after their wedding in July this year. Though the wedding itself wasn't quite the scale of the William-Kate wedding, the tenderness of the first wedding kiss was no less delightful.
-
Monaco came to a standstill as one-time Olympic swimmer Charlene Wittstock married Prince Albert II to become Princess of Monaco in July this year. Many said their tender kiss was somewhat ruined (and looked uncomfortable) in the light of persistent rumours of Charlene trying to flee Monaco shortly before the wedding after discovering Prince Albert allegedly had a third illegitimate child.

Not really recent, but any list on Royal Wedding kisses would remain incomplete without a mention of the iconic wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson in 1986. An estimated 500 million people tuned in to watch the pageantry on TV. A mammoth crowd had clamoured to see their kiss. Despite the fairy tale moments, Sarah Ferguson later admitted her marriage began to break down within a week of the grand wedding because of Prince Andrew's naval duties.
