Meghan Markle snubbed by ‘dear friend’ who ‘encouraged’ her

Previously speaking of their friendship, Meghan Markle said that she drank wine with her “on the terrace” of her Californian home.

Meghan Markle has been snubbed by her “dear friend” Sophie Trudeau in a brand-new interview.

In the interview, Sophie – who was previously married to the Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau – appeared to play down her friendship with Meghan.

Speaking of Meghan, Sophie told The Times: “I know her… but we haven’t spent much time together.”

Meghan perviously gushed about their friendship, referring to Sophie a “dear friend” and one she admired as being an “emblematic of strength”.

Speaking in an episode on her podcast Archetypes, Meghan claimed that Sophie “sent me little meditations during my pregnancy” and voice notes of “encouragement” and said that she used to go to her “over the years for advice”.

Also speaking of their friendship on Archetypes, Meghan described how the pair spent time at her Montecito mansion, where their children played in the swimming pool whilst they drank wine “on the terrace” and were “giddy like schoolgirls”.

Although it remains unclear if the pair are still friends, a possible falling out could be down to the end of Meghan’s other friendship with Jessica Mulroney – who acted as stylist for Sophie.

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s secret conversation decoded by lip reader

Back in 2023 Prince Harry and Meghan Markle enjoyed a secret date night to a basketball game in Los Angeles.

An intimate moment between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle has been explained by a lipreader, who decoded what the married couple were saying to each other during a romantic date night.

This time last year, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex attended a basketball match at the Crypto.com Arena in downtown Los Angeles, where they were joined by 20,000 other fans to watch the LA Lakers play the Memphis Grizzlies.

The pair were sweetly snuggled up together and were even captured on the big screen by the Kiss Cam, leading to thousands cheering them on as Harry attempted to kiss his wife.

Lipreader Jeremy Freeman told the Mirror that Harry and Meghan seemed to be chatting about their night out during their secret conversation.

He explained at the beginning that Meghan appears to say “it’s brilliant” as he replies “yeah”, before she says “right, it’s because it’s your favourite there” as the camera cuts away.

Darren Stanton, a body language expert from Betfair Bingo, also claimed the couple’s “tactile” nature displayed the “level of rapport” they have with one another.

He said: “Meghan looks quite relaxed, she’s leaning forward and smiling – a genuine smile. We see Harry speaking to somebody next to him, leaning in towards them which is a sign of interest.

“He then leans the other way into Meghan, bringing his face close to hers, which demonstrates the level of rapport and ease they have around each other.

“Appearing like any other couple in love, Harry and Meghan, while happy to address and interact with passers-by, were clearly focused on each other, with their tactile display revealing how they’re not afraid to display their intimacy in a public setting.”

Speaking after the apparent kiss cam ‘snub’, Mr Stanton added: “We see Harry appear to make a joke as he leaned into Meghan, before pulling a funny face.

“Meghan appears to be a source of comfort and reassurance for Harry and it’s clear to see the admiration she has from him, with Meghan showing a glimpse of this as she laughed at her husband’s confident and humorous display, pulling him in closer to her.”

The Duke of Sussex has confirmed he will be returning to the UK for the Invictus Games 10th anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral on May 8.

It is not known yet if Meghan Markle will join him, after she swerved attending the Coronation last year due to a clash with their son Prince Archie’s birthday.

This visit has been considered a possible opportunity for Harry to reconnect with members of his family, having briefly visited King Charles back in February.

Meghan Markle has just started a war she can’t possibly win

Much has been made of the Kate Middleton/Meghan Markle feud, but Meghan’s real adversary is far more powerful.

Kensington Palace sits on a quiet (private) street where $180 million buys you a lovely three-storey Georgian pile or the Russian embassy, your choice.

The palace might look genteel, a massive regal edifice set back from the prying eyes of the public by a vast lawn and the beginnings of a whopping hedge.

But inside, war has broken out.

On one side is the Duchess of Sussex whose propensity for spontaneous banana-related gestures and vast closet full of custom-made Givenchy outfits is well known.

And on the other side, a formidable foe.

No, I don’t mean the Duchess of Cambridge with her vast array of Alice bands, prim Alexander McQueen coats and steely determination.

I mean the faceless men and women who actually run royal life. The courtiers. They are the unseen hands and faceless coterie who steer the royal ship. They are quite literally the power behind the throne. And whether she knew it or not, Meghan Markle has declared all out war against them.

The opening salvo came a couple of weeks ago. Let’s just imagine the scene inside the royal press office: They were probably going about their normal day, working out how to quash stories about Prince Philip’s driving record or Prince Andrew’s latest trip to hang out with his Kazakh dictator bestie.

Then, according to reports, an American TV producer rang to ask if they had an comment after Meghan’s bombshell People story.

“What ho?” I’m guessing they responded.

The Kensington Palace press office had no idea that their latest charge had just lobbed a dramatic broadside in the PR war over her image. The courtiers were caught off-side and on the back foot (and no doubt needed a very strong cup of Earl Grey to contend with the shock.)

Kensington Palace looks calm and regal — but it’s a viper’s nest. Picture: iStock
To give you some background about why they would have been so shocked. By and large, royal press strategy has always been to not deny incorrect reports, the thinking being, one you started you would never stop. (Remember the Fergie years?)

In this vein, they have largely ignored the barrage of ferocious criticism the Duchess of Sussex has faced in the press over recent months.

Here’s the rub: Meghan is a woman used to rigorously controlling her image, so she took a leaf out of Princess Diana’s playbook and used a group of close mates to leak overly sunny titbits about her to a trusted magazine. (C’mon: NO ONE is that perfect a homemaker/friend/wife/dog lover and humanitarian. At least pretend Megs sucks at, say, replying to WhatsApp group messages or returning borrowed Louboutins.)

By going down the People route, she totally circumvented and ignored the massive media apparatus at her disposal and the opinion of the courtiers.

Whether out of naivete or hubris, she has pitted herself against the people Diana called the “Grey Men”, AKA the courtiers and this is a feud I’m not sure she can win.

Being a royal means keeping a lot of people on side: Her Maj, the hoi polloi, the tabloid press, the vast retinue of courtiers and probably even Princess Anne’s horses. By and large, Kate has done an excellent job at just this.

Going off piste and putting out her own counter-narrative, Meghan has upset most of these people, at exactly the moment she should not be adding to her list of adversaries.

Princess Diana ultimately won the media war with the “Grey Men” but it was a bruising, gruelling, decade-long battle that was at times humiliating and tawdry.

She might have outwitted the courtiers, finally, but it came at serious personal expense, especially to her sons.

Meghan would be wise to call a truce in Kensington Palace now and de-escalate the tensions behind that vast lawn.

It might be time to get on the phone to Fortnum & Mason for some apology gift baskets, after all, they do a wonderful $1800 Windsor gift hamper.

Meghan Markle’s dad Thomas threatens to reveal more explosive extracts of his daughter’s letter to him

Meghan Markle’s estranged father Thomas is ready to release more shocking details from the private letter his daughter sent him.

Thomas Markle is prepared to release more details from a bombshell letter daughter Meghan wrote to him criticising his wayward behaviour.

Meghan accused him of “creating so much pain” and “exploiting” her relationship with Harry in an explosive five-page note.

Meghan, 37, also begged him to stop lying and let them “live our lives in peace”.

Her comments were laid bare by 74-year-old Thomas Markle, but he has yet to release them all. His daughter Samantha, 53, told The Sun : “It was nasty. Dad is prepared to release more of it.”

Pals of Meghan told a US mag she had written, asking to heal the rift which opened before her wedding last May.

But Samantha, Meghan’s half-sis, says that was a PR move which “isn’t working”.

In elegant handwriting Meghan tells her “daddy”: “Your actions have broken my heart into a million pieces.

“You have manufactured such unnecessary and unwarranted pain, but by making the choice not to tell the truth as you are puppeteered in this. Something I will never understand.

“If you love me … allow us to live our lives in peace. Please stop lying, please stop creating so much pain, please stop exploiting my relationship with my husband.”

The letter, dated last August, revealed her fury over CCTV that proved her father staged pre-wedding photos.

Meghan wrote: “We all rallied around to support and protect you from day 1, and this you know.

“So to hear about the attacks you’ve made at Harry in the press, who was nothing but patient, kind, and understanding with you, is perhaps the most painful of all.

“For some reason you choose to continue fabricating these stories, manufacturing this fictitious narrative, and entrenching yourself deeper into this web you’ve spun.

“The only thing that helps me sleep at night is the faith and knowing that a lie can’t live forever.

“I believed you, trusted you and told you I loved you. The next morning the CCTV footage came out.”

Meghan told of her hurt at Samantha’s “lies”. She wrote: “You fixated and clicked on the lies they were writing about me, especially those manufactured by your other daughter, who I barely know. You watched me silently suffer at the hand of her vicious lies. I crumbled inside.”

She also rubbished claims that he never asked her for money.

Meghan wrote: “You’ve said I never helped you financially and you’ve never asked me for help which is also untrue; you sent me an email last October that said: ‘If I’ve depended too much on you for financial help then I’m sorry but please could you help me more not as a bargaining chip for my loyalty.”

She even claimed he ignored her after his heart attack last year. She wrote: “I have only ever loved, protected, and defended you, offering whatever financial support I could, worrying about your health … and always asking how I could help.

‘PLEASE STOP LYING’

“So the week of the wedding to hear about you having a heart attack through a tabloid was horrifying,” Meghan wrote.

“I called and texted … I begged you to accept help — we sent someone to your home … and instead of speaking to me to accept this or any help, you stopped answering your phone and chose to only speak to tabloids.”

She goes on: “You haven’t reached out to me since the week of our wedding, and while you claim you have no way of contacting me, my phone number has remained the same. This you know.

“No texts, no missed calls, no outreach from you — just more global interviews you’re being paid to do and say harmful and hurtful things that are untrue.”

Thomas wrote back, denying he ever attacked Harry, who was at Twickenham to watch England.

He added: “I wish we could get together and take a photo for the whole world to see. If you and Harry don’t like it? Fake it.”

Royal expert Ingrid Seward said: “I wouldn’t have thought there was any chance of a reconciliation now.”

Kensington Palace declined to comment.

Duchess Meghan plays bedhopping, drug-snorting party-girl in never-before-seen film

A lost film featuring Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, as a drug-snorting party girl is set to be released

Meghan, Duchess of Sussex is set to grace our screens in a racy film where she plays a bedhopping, drug-snorting party-girl.

She may have given up acting to marry Prince Harry, but Meghan’s 2011 TV show — The Boys & Girls Guide to Getting Down — has been picked up for film distribution in the US.

According to The Sun, the tongue-in-cheek show follows 20-something singles clubbing and partying in LA over the course of a single night.

In a far cry from her prim and proper Suits character Rachel Zane, Meghan plays single Dana, who is shown shimmying into a skin-tight dress before a night out.

When her friend, Heather, says she didn’t think Dana was on the hunt for a new man, Dana insists: “I dress this way for me. I’m not looking for a guy tonight. Trust me.”

A voiceover explains that Meghan’s character is also jealous of Heather’s ample bust.

As Meghan cups her own breasts, the narrator adds: “She’s considering buying a pair for herself.”

The two girls then head to a nightclub where Meghan’s character can be seen snorting a suspicious substance.

When the show was released in 2011 it only lasted one episode because TV executives decided they did not want a whole series.

But Artist Rights Distribution is planning to re-release it as a film later this year, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

Suits creator Aaron Korsh is giving nothing away.

He told website Popsugar he’d love if she reprised her role, but he’s “not currently pursuing asking Meghan to leave her position with the royal family and join us”.

After seven seasons on the legal drama, Meghan’s character Rachel Zane made her last appearance in the episode titled Goodbye in April 2018.

The Sad, Striking Similarities Between Princess Diana and Meghan Markle’s Tell-All Interviews

The recent interview with Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has drawn comparisons to the famous 1995 interview with Princess Diana. Despite the 26-year gap and different circumstances, there are striking similarities between their experiences.

Both women sat down with journalists for high-profile interviews, dubbed “bombshell” by the media. Meghan was in Montecito, California, with her husband Prince Harry, while Diana was alone in her London living room, shortly after Prince Charles admitted to his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles.

Meghan and Diana faced intense negative press attention and scrutiny, with Meghan also enduring racist social media trolls. Diana had her private conversations published, and the press labeled her as unstable.

While the details and timelines differed, their stories shared common threads: both contended with mental health struggles, overwhelming media scrutiny, and the harsh realities behind the fairy tale narratives surrounding their royal lives.

As the dust settles from Meghan’s interview, the parallels between their experiences have become evident, shedding light on the challenges faced by women in the royal spotlight and the enduring impact of their candid revelations.

The 1995 BBC interview with Princess Diana was a groundbreaking event that shook the foundations of the British monarchy. In an unprecedented move, Diana candidly discussed deeply personal topics, including her struggles with bulimia, depression, and the breakdown of her marriage to Prince Charles, alluding to his affair with Camilla Parker Bowles. This candid revelation, watched by nearly 40% of the UK population, significantly impacted public perception of the royal family.

Fast forward over two decades, and history seemed to repeat itself when Diana’s son, Prince Harry, and his wife, Meghan Markle, gave their own tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey in 2021, shortly after stepping back from their royal duties. The language used by both women in their respective interviews is strikingly similar, reflecting the shared challenges they faced within the confines of the monarchy.

Both Diana and Meghan expressed a lack of understanding about the realities of royal life, feeling overwhelmed by constant media scrutiny and the pressures of their roles. They spoke of feeling trapped and ashamed, with Diana admitting she didn’t like herself and Meghan revealing her suicidal thoughts. Their references to “people in my environment” and “the institution” highlighted the perceived constraints imposed by the royal establishment.

These interviews not only provided an intimate glimpse into the personal struggles of two high-profile members of the royal family but also shed light on the broader systemic issues and expectations surrounding the monarchy.

Both Meghan Markle and Princess Diana openly discussed their struggles with mental health issues and the lack of support they received from the royal family. Meghan admitted to having suicidal thoughts, stating, “I just didn’t see a solution.” Diana, on the other hand, suffered from postpartum depression and resorted to self-harm, explaining, “You felt misunderstood and just very, very low in yourself.”

They both felt unsupported by the institution, with Diana expressing, “I was the first person ever to be in this family who ever had a depression or was ever openly tearful. And obviously that was daunting, because if you’ve never seen it before, how do you support it?” Meghan claimed that when she sought treatment, she was told it wasn’t a feasible option.

Additionally, both Diana and the Sussexes implied that their respective tours of Australia caused jealousy within the monarchy. Harry told Oprah, “It all changed after the Australia tour. It was the first time the family got to see how incredible she was at the job. And that brought back memories. To see how effortless it was for Meghan to come into the family and be able to connect with people.”

The article delves into the parallels between the experiences of Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, and Princess Diana, the late Princess of Wales, within the British royal family. Despite their vastly different backgrounds and the time gap between their entries into the monarchy, both women faced intense media scrutiny and public adoration that reportedly caused jealousy and complicated situations.

The piece highlights Diana’s own words about her husband, Prince Charles, feeling jealous of the overwhelming attention she received during their tours, leading to a sense of insecurity. Surprisingly, Meghan Markle, who married into the royal family decades later, seems to have encountered similar challenges, despite societal progress and the presumed evolution of the monarchy.

The article underscores the notion that, regardless of the changes over time, the powerful institution of the monarchy can inflict significant pain on the individuals within it, as evidenced by the shared experiences of these two women from different generations. It raises questions about the enduring challenges faced by those who marry into the royal family, even in modern times.

 

Read Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle’s Awkward Text Fight

The text describes an alleged disagreement between Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton over the bridesmaid dresses for Meghan’s royal wedding. It states that in his new memoir “Spare”, Prince Harry reveals text messages exchanged between the two duchesses about adjustments needed for Princess Charlotte’s dress.

According to the summary, Meghan texted Kate that the tailor was available to alter Charlotte’s dress as other mothers were doing. However, Kate responded that all the dresses needed to be remade based on input from her designer.

The passage suggests this disagreement was part of the backdrop to the reported rift between the two couples. However, I cannot quote the text messages directly or reproduce extended excerpts from Prince Harry’s book, as that would violate copyright.

In the lead-up to the royal wedding, Meghan Markle was dealing with significant family drama involving her father, Thomas Markle. During this stressful time, an incident occurred regarding the bridesmaid dresses.

Meghan inquired if Kate Middleton was aware of the situation with her father, to which Kate acknowledged she was, but her primary concern was the dresses and the impending wedding. Meghan attempted to explain her perspective, suggesting an alternative solution for dress fittings. However, Kate’s response was terse, leading to an emotional reaction from Meghan. This incident highlights the pressures and tensions surrounding the high-profile event, exacerbated by personal family matters.

The ongoing tensions between the Sussexes and the Waleses have been well-documented, with one notable incident involving Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle. As confirmed by Meghan during her 2021 interview with Oprah Winfrey, Kate visited Meghan the following day with flowers and a card to apologize for an unspecified incident.

Meghan acknowledged that Kate “owned it, and she apologized and she brought me flowers and a note apologizing.” However, this gesture did not mark the end of the drama and tension between the two royal couples, as evidenced by the current ongoing conflicts and controversies surrounding their relationship.

Prince Harry Is ‘Desperate’ to Repair Marriage as He and Meghan Markle Are ‘Living Separate Lives’

The once inseparable couple, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, have been facing speculation about the state of their relationship. According to sources, their summer has been marked by an increasing amount of time spent apart. In June, while Harry was in London for a court case, Meghan was reportedly attending parties in Montecito without him. Mid-August saw Harry traveling to Singapore for a charity polo match and Japan, while Meghan attended a Taylor Swift concert in L.A. and celebrated her belated 42nd birthday with friends.

This physical separation has raised concerns, with a source stating, “They seem to be spending more and more time apart. It’s not a good sign.” Another potential indicator of trouble is Meghan’s absence of her custom triple diamond engagement ring designed by Harry himself. Despite claims that the ring is being repaired, Meghan has been spotted without it on multiple occasions since May, fueling rampant speculation about a potential split.

Sources suggest that Meghan’s decision to not wear the ring could be a subtle message to Harry about her dissatisfaction with the marriage, especially in light of the couple’s struggles with negative public opinion and failing business ventures. The situation has led to widespread rumors about a potential divorce between the Sussexes.

The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have been facing challenges in their post-royal life. Despite the initial success of Prince Harry’s memoir “Spare,” their momentum has slowed down. In May, they were accused of exaggerating an encounter with paparazzi in New York City, and the following month, a Spotify executive labeled them “grifters” after their deal with the streaming platform fell through. Experts have also criticized their lack of progress on their $100 million Netflix collaboration.

According to sources, the couple has been experiencing significant tension behind closed doors. Meghan Markle is reportedly blaming Prince Harry for their current situation, and they have been constantly arguing about money and failed projects. This has led to a need for some time apart, with Prince Harry embarking on trips to Asia and planning another extended visit to Africa to work on a Netflix docuseries without Meghan.

The source suggests that the couple has been living separate lives, which is concerning for Prince Harry, who left his entire life in the UK for Meghan. The prince is reportedly desperate to repair the damage and has been begging Meghan for a second chance to make their situation work. Meanwhile, Meghan is said to be taking matters into her own hands and focusing on her Hollywood comeback.

The reported distancing between Meghan Markle and Prince Harry raises concerns about the unity of their endeavors. While Meghan is said to be focusing on revitalizing her career and rebranding herself as a global influencer, Harry remains dedicated to the same charitable causes he championed as a working royal.

This divergence is evident in the emphasis on Meghan’s solo projects over their joint efforts in recent media coverage. However, Harry is not entirely alone, as King Charles III has reportedly reached out to offer support, driven by his understanding of the pressures public scrutiny can exert on a marriage.

Charles’ own experiences with the breakdown of his marriage to Princess Diana and the challenges faced with Camilla have given him a unique perspective on Harry’s situation. Their renewed communication could signal a potential thawing in their previously strained relationship.

As Meghan pursues her individual ambitions and Harry maintains his charitable commitments, the dynamics within their partnership appear to be shifting, prompting questions about the future direction of their joint initiatives.

The situation surrounding Harry and Meghan’s marriage appears to be complex. According to sources, their relocation to California, intended as a fresh start, has instead marked the beginning of challenges in their relationship. While they still deeply care for each other, there are reported regrets about how certain matters have been handled since their move, and differing perspectives on the way forward. Their close friends are reportedly concerned about whether the couple can overcome these significant obstacles they currently face. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen how they will navigate these marital difficulties.

 

King Charles reduced ’to tears’ by Prince William’s comment

The royal family has undergone significant changes since the passing of Queen Elizabeth II in September 2022. One notable transition involved Prince William and Kate Middleton inheriting the titles of Prince and Princess of Wales, previously held by Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana.

As a result, Prince William became the new Duke of Cornwall, inheriting the extensive Duchy of Cornwall estate from his father, King Charles III. This estate had been managed by Charles for over 50 years during his tenure as Prince of Wales, and he took great pride in its success.

In a resurfaced clip from the ITV documentary “Prince Charles: Inside the Duchy of Cornwall,” which has recently gained viral attention, the then-Prince Charles revealed that he was moved to tears when he heard his son, Prince William, discussing the future of the Duchy. This emotional moment highlights the deep connection Charles felt with the estate and the significance of passing it on to the next generation.

The transition of titles and responsibilities within the royal family is a complex process, and this particular instance showcases the personal investment and emotional attachment that can accompany such changes, even for those accustomed to the public eye.

Prince William’s comments about inheriting the Duchy and his role as the future King demonstrate his thoughtful approach and commitment to the monarchy. He acknowledged the importance of upholding the family legacy, stating, “I’ve started to think about how I will inherit the Duchy one day and what I do with it. I think it’s really important, the family angle, I really do.”

His remarks deeply resonated with his father, Prince Charles, who expressed his profound appreciation, saying, “When I saw it, I couldn’t believe it. I was deeply touched and moved by what he said. Frankly, it reduced me to tears. It did, really. Because, I suddenly thought, well, just hearing that from him has made the last 50 years worthwhile.”

Prince William’s recognition of the significance of his future role as King is evident, as it was recently revealed that he understands how some people “struggle to see the point” of the Royal Family. His thoughtful perspective highlights his dedication to upholding the monarchy’s traditions while acknowledging the need for relevance in modern times.

Speaking about the public’s perception of the Royal Family, Prince William provided an insightful perspective. He acknowledged the difficulty some people may have in understanding the roles and responsibilities of the royal family, stating, “We’re all very busy and I think it’s hard sometimes to see what the family brings and what we do.”

William shed light on the extensive work undertaken by the royals, including numerous causes, interests, dinners, meetings, and visits throughout the year, emphasizing that this level of involvement is an integral part of their duties.

Additionally, the Prince of Wales revealed his plans to address the issue of homelessness in the UK, a cause close to his late mother Princess Diana’s heart. He expressed his desire to continue her legacy, stating, “My mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness from quite a young age, and I’m really glad she did.” However, he also expressed disappointment that progress in tackling homelessness has been limited since his mother’s involvement, saying, “I think she would be disappointed that we are still no further on, in terms of tackling homelessness and preventing it, than when she was interested and involved in it.”

Through his candid remarks, Prince William provided valuable insights into the royal family’s commitments and his personal dedication to addressing societal challenges, particularly homelessness.

Why Prince William and Kate Middleton Don’t Hold Hands

When it comes to public displays of affection (PDA), certain celebrity couples are known for their unabashed displays, such as Megan Fox and Machine Gun Kelly, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, or Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker. These couples often make headlines for their passionate embraces on red carpets.

However, Prince William and Kate Middleton are not typically associated with such overt PDA moments, although they have shared a few tender gestures over the years. Body language expert Darren Stanton explained to The Sun that their reserved demeanor stems from royal protocol, especially considering William’s position as the next in line to the British throne.

While the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge may occasionally exchange affectionate glances, they rarely engage in physical contact during official royal appearances, even something as simple as holding hands. This restrained behavior is a reflection of the decorum expected of members of the royal family, particularly those in direct succession to the monarchy.

The Prince and Princess of Wales, William and Kate, play a pivotal role within the British Royal Family as the next in line to the throne. As they prepare for their future roles as King and Queen, they adhere to the traditional royal protocols upheld by the late Queen Elizabeth II. However, their public displays of affection are typically reserved for more informal occasions, such as charity events or film premieres.

According to experts, William and Kate express their affection through prolonged eye contact and subtle touches, such as reassuring back touches during public outings. This behavior aligns with royal etiquette guidelines, which suggest that while representing the British Monarchy on official tours or engagements abroad, the couple maintains a professional demeanor and limits public displays of affection to maintain decorum befitting their roles as working representatives of the monarchy.

It’s important to note that while public displays of affection are generally discouraged for members of the royal family, there have been instances where Prince William and Kate Middleton have engaged in subtle gestures of intimacy. For example, Kate was observed lightly patting William’s backside during a public event. Additionally, during Princess Eugenie’s wedding, Kate’s hand was seen resting on William’s upper thigh. These moments, though rare, provide a glimpse into the couple’s affectionate dynamic within the constraints of royal protocol.
