Harry & Meghan

I'd rather see them holding hands and walking side by side than Meghan having to trail in Harry's wake, accompanied by a dignitary.

I think she will learn to keep her hands by her sides on more formal and sombre occasions. Somebody will put her straight.

Well said, stella1949. Some people feel uncomfortable holding hands, but others don't. I don't see any harm in it personally.

I'm with you on this one *stella1949, Mr Cheese and I still hold hands too.

Gosh, I love holding hands with my DH and it's not for reassurance ! What's wrong with a couple holding hands , for heavens sake.

And sorry but I've been watching a lot of this current tour , and Harry hasn't been looking particularly serious. He is laughing, hugging children and old ladies ( young ladies too). Making heaps of really good speeches and showing an interest in Australia .He is a rock star !

They seem happy and very much in love. Why wouldn't they hold hands, touch etc it is a natural thing to do for newlyweds especially as she is also pregnant.

I agree with other posters, Meghan is nervous and looking for reassurance. American culture tends to be a bit more 'touchy feely' than our British reserve.
They are just happy together, I think we should stop being critical and let them get on with their very public lives.

I feel for the poor girl as she doesn't have the same stamina as others during these gruelling trips------which they are. As BookieGram said it's all about adjusting and of that up to now hasn't had much chance. The Queen et al are born into it and know what to expect.

They are very much in love, and this "royalty" thing is all still very new to her. The average person does not have to live by all the royal protocol, some of which I believe is really archaic. Give her time to adjust.

Gosh I think they are a very happy loved up newly married couple with a child on the way.

How can anyone see anything wrong in this.

We have a Harry and Meghan thread and now a Meghan and Harry thread !!
Does it really matter if she holds his hand, arm or anything else he probably like feeling protective of his newly pregnan5 wife, why look for anything more than two young people on a new journey together

When she is sitting down Ann ? I am not being bitchy, it just doesn’t ring true . She wore high heeled shoes when she did the walk down the isle alone, and didn’t wear shoes on the beach

She needs to hold on with the height of the heels she wears.
