Prince Edward and Sophie discuss their engagement in 1999
Prince Edward and Duchess Sophie melted hearts again and caused a royal fan frenzy after a new snap of an adorable moment between the pair from last month resurfaced on social media today.
The Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh visited Headingley Stadium in Leeds on International Women's Day on March 8, where they watched girls from four schools go through rugby training drills and later attended a community sport and recreation awards ceremony.
There, Sophie paid a sweet tribute to her husband during a speech, with Edward looking visibly moved and later hugging his wife.
The Duchess of Edinburgh said her husband is "the best of fathers, the most loving of husbands and he is still my best friend" and "I am so proud of the man he is".
They both wiped away tears after she described how, like his father, the late Prince Phillip, "my husband never seeks compliments for himself".

She said: "Which is why I am grateful for this chance to able to publicly celebrate and compliment him."
Elsewhere in her speech, Sophie said Edward has been her guide, and added: "Whatever he is doing he gives 150 percent of himself, and if all else fails he gives any energy he has left out to our exhausted dogs or laying waste to the garden."
Wiping away tears again, the duchess ended her speech by saying: "So, here's to you my darling Edward and may I, along with all your family and so many friends, and so many others wish you the happiest of birthdays."
The couple were snapped embracing with both of them visibly emotional.
And royal fans could not hide their excitement when yet another snap of the sweet moment was posted online.
