According to new reports, William and Sophie were together for The Royal Foundation’s screening of Rhino Man. The event was hosted by United for Wildlife at the Battersea Power Station.

Well, royal fans sure did have a lot to say about the matter. While a lot of people couldn’t help but wonder why Kate Middleton didn’t attend the event with them, others liked the change of pace. Some commented with, “Oh my gosh, watching William and Sophie’s engagement video gave me chills!

They are such a stunning couple and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for them as part of the royal family,” along with, “Have never seen these two working together before? A nice change! They seem to work better together than with their own spouses. Haven’t seen William this happy in a loooong time! Weird that he didn’t show up with his wife.”
