Royal Expert Says Kate Middleton And Prince William Are ‘Happy’ For People To See Them Be ‘Touchy-Feely’: ‘Different Phase Of Their Life Now’

Royal protocol may frown upon public displays of affection – which also includes hand holding! – but Prince William and Kate Middleton have regularly gone against this!
We’ve lost count of how many times the Prince and Princess of Wales have defied royal protocol and held hands or been affectionate with each other in public, which is partly why they are such a big hit with royal fans.
And it seems like they aren’t apologetic about their protocol-breaking behavior either, as a royal expert has recently explained that they are actually “happy” for people to see them behave in this way these days.
If you loved their affectionate Valentine’s Day picture that they shared on social media last month, or seeing them hold hands in public like they did on their recent trip to Wales, then you’re in luck!
“They are happy for people to see them be touchy-feely,” royal biographer Ingrid Seward recently told People, before going on to suggest that this new behavior could be due to the Princess of Wales’ cancer diagnosis, which is now in remission.
