Royal fans may have noticed that Prince William and his wife Princess Kate don’t often hold hands in public, unlike other members of the Royal Family like Meghan Markle and Prince Harry.
According to body language expert Darren Stanton, this is likely due to William’s future role as King.
Stanton explained that as future King and Queen, they are probably following the example set by the late Queen Elizabeth, avoiding public displays of affection during formal engagements.
“Kate and William play a very important role in the Royal Family now as the Prince and Princess of Wales,” he told The Sun.
Stanton continued: “As they are next in line to the throne and are preparing to become King and Queen themselves one day, they use and follow the traditional royal protocols of the late Queen.

However, because William and Kate spend so much time officially representing the British monarchy at formal occasions, they are unlikely to be as openly affectionate in public as Harry and Meghan are known to be.
Stanton explained that instead, eagle-eyed Royal fans will see more understated displays of William and Kate’s bond as they go about their work, still showing affection with “prolonged eye gazes” and reassuring pats on the back.
