Duchess of Cambridge Shocks Prince William with Jar of Dead Bugs at COP26
In a moment that has sent social media into a frenzy, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, was caught on camera offering her husband, Prince William, a jar filled with dead larvae.
This unusual exchange took place during a high-profile reception at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow, where the couple was in attendance alongside world leaders and key figures in the fight against climate change.
On Monday, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge made a striking appearance at the event.
Kate dazzled in a vibrant blue gown by Eponine, while William opted for a classic navy suit.
The couple was there to host a gathering for the Sustainable Markets Initiative and celebrate the winners of the inaugural Earthshot Prize awards.
They were joined by other royals, including Prince Charles and Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, adding a touch of royal flair to the proceedings.
However, the highlight of the evening came when Kate presented her husband with an unexpected gift: a jar of dead bugs.
The larvae, which are commonly used as livestock feed, seemed to catch William off guard.
Photographs captured the moment perfectly, showing the Duchess smiling brightly as she held the jar near her husband's face, while he grimaced in reaction.
Initially taken aback, Prince William's expression conveyed his shock and disgust at the sight of the dead insects.
But in a surprising twist, he ultimately accepted the jar from Kate, leading to a lighthearted moment that was immortalized in photos shared online.
One image even features the Duke holding the container with a look of reluctant acceptance, while Kate beams with amusement beside him.
