Cape Town - Ever since Prince Harry and Meghan came out publically about their relationship they’ve been spotted holding hands and being affectionate towards each other.
Now that they’re married and are known as the Duke and Duchess of Sussex however, things may have changed – they have royal etiquette to follow.
But it seems it might take some time for the former Suits actress (36) to get the hang of royal tradition, a lack of PDA being one of them.
At the recent Young Leaders reception at Buckingham Palace, Meghan was caught on camera reaching for her man’s hand – but Harry (33) quickly moved his hand away. The clip can be seen on The Sun’s website.
“The queen rarely holds hands with her husband in public and this seems to have set an unwritten precedent for the other royals,” body language expert Robin Kermode told Daily Mail.
Harry and Meghan’s open displays of affection have been a departure from usual royal behaviour – a certain decorum tends to be the norm when it comes to official royal outings.
Prince William and Kate rarely show PDA – and now that Meghan is an official royal she and Harry might refrain from holding hands, especially when the queen is around or when they’re at a formal event, People reports.
