Prince William and Kate's Striptease Surprise
Originally posted 04/04/2008 07:15AM
In a rare display of public affection, Prince William and girlfriend Kate Middleton cozied up on the dance floor Thursday at a raucous (and risqué!) charity event in London.
Middleton – in a pink strapless dress with a pleated skirt and a flower at her waist – kissed her boyfriend of five years as the pair boogied. William twirled her around as the pair danced to Little Richard's "Tutti Frutti" and then to Guns N' Roses' "Welcome to the Jungle."
"They looked happy and so in love," says a guest at the burleque themed-bash. "Kate was smiling so widely and they looked like there was no one else in the world when they were dancing."

It's a case of sun and snow for two princes in love.
While Prince Harry continues his safari break in Botswana with Chelsy Davy, Prince William has whisked his girlfriend, Kate Middleton, off to the Alps.

Tuesday, as a constant flurry descended on ski-runs, they enjoyed the slopes once more – this time including Middleton's sister Pippa, 24.
