When watching a royal wedding, the crowds always wait in anticipation of the sweet moment when the newly married couple share their first kiss.
Royal wedding kisses go down in history, often being splashed on the front of magazine covers to celebrate the happy day.
The family's respective palace balcony usually provides the classic backdrop for the celebrated moment but some couples haven't waited for this posed moment and have instead shared a kiss following their religious ceremony.
