Why Prince William and Kate Middleton Still Don't Hold Hands in Public Update

Royal PDA – The Unseen Affection

When it comes to public displays of affection, some celebrity couples are known for their steamy red carpet make-out sessions. But there’s one royal duo that rarely makes the cut: Prince William and Kate Middleton. While they do share the occasional cute glance, physical contact is a rare occurrence during their royal appearances. So, what’s the reason behind this apparent lack of PDA?

According to body language expert Darren Stanton, it all boils down to royal protocol. As the next in line to the throne, William and Kate have an important role to play in the royal family. They follow the traditional royal protocols set by the late Queen and are preparing to become King and Queen themselves one day. So, no impulsive red carpet smooches for them!

But don’t be fooled by their formal demeanor. Stanton reveals that William and Kate show their affection in subtle ways, such as prolonged eye gazes and little back touches. These gestures serve as reassurance when they’re out and about together.

Royal etiquette expert Myka Meier echoes this sentiment, explaining that during official tours or engagements, the couple are working representatives of the British Monarchy. It’s important for them to maintain a professional image and limit public displays of affection. However, there are exceptions to the rule.

Who could forget the time when Kate boldly patted William’s backside in public? Or when she rested her hand on his upper thigh during Princess Eugenie’s wedding? These rare moments of PDA prove that even future King and Queens have their spontaneous, affectionate side.

So, while you might not witness passionate embrace from William and Kate during official events, keep an eye out for those subtle gestures and stolen glances. After all, love knows no royal protocol!
