When it comes to royal romance, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle are the champions of PDA. Whether it’s holding hands or stealing a kiss in front of cameras like teens, the Sussexes never shy away from it. And guess what? Their love-dovey vibes may have inspired other members of the British royal family. Yep, we’re talking about Prince William and Kate Middleton. Read on!
Prince Harry: Are Harry and Meghan PDA Gurus?
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have always always been very affectionate in public. Conversely, the Prince and Princess of Wales were a little more refined regarding displaying affection. Kate and William were more about picture-perfect smiles than hand-holding and heart-eyes. But that changed a bit!
Royal photographer Karwai Tang reveals that the Sussexes have actually made them more comfortable with subtle PDA. He told Us Weekly, “She’s very handsy, very touchy… touchy-feely with Harry.” And let’s not forget those giggles and sweet gestures when they are out and about.
Additionally, Tang believes Harry and Meghan’s lovebird behavior “relaxed a lot of the other members.” He even has proof! “You see Kate and William—not holding hands—but placing a hand on the back or knee,” he shared. While the Wales royals won’t suddenly turn into Noah and Allie from The Notebook, they’re making progress.
The Wales Royals Are Inspired!
If you’re an OG royal admirer, this is a pretty big deal. William and Kate have always been seen as an ideal and duty-driven couple, following and respecting royal traditions. However, the adorable shift in their love language is quite apparent. Remember their Valentine’s Day snap where he kissed Kate’s cheek? Yep, the future King of England is getting all cute and sentimental for the cameras!
Meanwhile, Karwai loves capturing Harry and Meghan’s candid moments because he has been there since the couple’s pre-wedding era. “They photograph really well—very genuine,” he said. Love them or not, you can’t deny that US-based royals have modernised royal relationships.
Tang even pointed out, “Meghan wasn’t the person that wanted to change anyway when she married into the Royal Family.” That’s the magic of Harry and Meghan—they’ve always kept things real.
