Prince Harry and his spouse, Meghan Markle, have decided to put a major change in place when it comes to their romance.
And it has many royal watchers asking, “Why the sudden change?” Were they forced to take that route, or was it a charade, and they have stopped playing?
The former actress and the prince have been together for over seven years. Markle and her husband were famous for their loved-up moments of handholding, gentle caresses on the back, and sweet kissing.
The pair appeared to be in love and had no problem showing it to the world. However, the constant PDA annoyed some and made others jealous.
Prince Harry was slammed for always needing Meghan Markle to play a mother figure during public appearances. And Markle was attacked for controlling Prince Harry with loving and sensual gestures.
Fans of King Charles III were the most critical of the constant PDA.
In recent months, the pair decided to put an end to all displays of affection during public appearances to avoid the headache.
Darren Stanton, a body language expert, told Hello! that it is a natural process after 7 years together — The Duke and Duchess of Sussex no longer feel the need to show PDA during their public appearances.
Stanton stated: “Harry and Meghan’s relationship has evolved. When looking at their body language, their public displays of affection have changed drastically over the years. When they started dating and became more established as an official couple, they were very affectionate in public, almost more affectionate than William and Kate.”
The expert went on to say: “I feel that they have toned it down a bit in recent times. I have seen their engaged eye contact has decreased and they aren’t as tactile with one another. While they do love each other and they will do anything to support one another, we tend not to see them being as openly passionate.”
The commentator concluded on a positive note: “Despite this, the pair clearly have huge levels of respect for each other, and are there for each other through everything.”
Vacation photos of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle that have surfaced online show that during their private and intimate times away from the public eye, they are still very much affectionate with each other.
The pair was very close and cozy during a trip to Costa Rica and Canouan, a small island in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
