Meghan Markle is 'used to being touchy-feely' – and Harry is the same
Newlyweds Prince Harry and Meghan Markle haven't been shy in hiding their love for one another since going public with their romance last year.
Never afraid to show PDA, a royal insider has revealed the popular couple are happy to show their emotions in public, unlike other members of the royal family who rarely show affection, especially during official outings.

"They are not afraid to hold hands. They don’t mind showing their emotions," veteran royal photographer, Mark Stewart, told People.
Meghan, 36, and 33-year-old Harry's openness in putting their love on display at official engagements symbolises their "refreshingly modern approach" as representatives of the royal family.

"There is no protocol that says they cannot show affection on official engagements, and this gesture makes them relatable and lovable to the public," royal etiquette expert Myka Meier told the outlet.

Since the pair were photographed in public together for the first time in December, 2016, shopping for a Christmas tree, the former Suits star and the Prince are often seen holding hands, linking arms, and laughing together during their appearances.

Moments of intimacy like that at the Invictus Games have been on display at almost every event they’ve attended together.
"Meghan is used to being touchy-feely, and Harry is the same," former palace spokesman, Dickie Arbiter, told People.
"Harry has always been tactile."

And since tying the knot two months ago in the now-famous royal nuptials, the much-loved couple haven't shown any signs of toning down their public affections.

Earlier this month, Meghan held onto Harry’s arm as she attended a Royal Air Force event alongside Harry, William and Kate.
And, in an unexpected move, just last week, she even looped her hand through Harry’s arm for Prince Louis’ official christening portrait.
