Royal family
Prince William and Kate Middleton might have virtually no relationship with Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, but the Wales couple still takes notes from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
Prince William and Kate Middleton are the future king and queen, and William and is the only current working royal family member who is a direct descendent of King Charles. That’s because William’s brother and sister-in-law, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, stepped back from their royal roles five years ago to start a new life in the United States.
Even though things between the Wales and Sussex couples haven’t improved, it seems like William and Kate still pay attention to the one aspect of Harry and Meghan’s relationship that people always enjoyed.
Prince William and Kate Middleton still play into the PDA that got Harry and Meghan noticed
William and Kate have been together since college, and they have always been diplomatic in public. The Prince and Princess of Wales were never the type of couple to flaunt their relationship, and public displays of affection were largely advised against in the royal family. However, once Harry and Meghan came along, things changed.
Harry and Meghan weren’t always so loved by the public or the media, but people did like the refreshing sense of normalcy that they showed through their PDA. The two were often spotted holding hands, having an arm on the other’s back, or otherwise announcing to the world that they were in love. And when they left the family, William and Kate began to behave the same way.
William and Kate recently took a trip to Wales, where they knew all eyes would be on them. And as they walked, they were hand-in-hand — something that appears to be a page taken right out of Harry and Meghan’s relationship handbook.
According to Express, royal commentator Charlene White said that the public displays of affection might be more geared toward Americans. “It may not always play out so well here [in the United Kingdom], but it does well in the American market,” she said. She added that William and Kate are likely following in Harry and Meghan’s footsteps and “realizing actually that … As lovers of the royal family, we like to see that.”
Prince William and Kate Middleton still don’t speak to Prince Harry and Meghan Markle
Whether William and Kate are showing more PDA because of Harry and Meghan or not, it doesn’t change the fact that the Wales and Sussex couples still don’t speak. Things went south between William and Harry as far back as 2018, and the two men could never really patch things up.
While Kate and Meghan were never close, they didn’t have much of a chance to build a sustainable relationship because they both took their husband’s side when the brothers had a falling out.
