Prince Harry and Meghan Markle could have inspired other royal couples to display public affection.

The Duchess of Sussex, who never hold back from showing their love for each other, have also taught Prince William and Kate Middleton to do the same.

Royal photographer Karwai Tang says the couple "hasn't changed."

“I think with Harry and Meghan being in the royal family for those few years, it’s sort of relaxed a lot of the other members," Tang told Us Weekly, "because every now and again you see Kate and William, not hold hands, but like a hand on the back or on the knee."

“They are what they are, you know,” he added. “She’s very handsy, very touchy, you know, touchy feely with Harry, which is good that she hasn’t changed. She wasn’t the person that wanted to change, anyway, when she married into the royal family.”

Prince Harry left the Royal Family back in 2020 alongside wife Meghan Markle and son, Prince Archie. The couple later accused the Royal Family of showcasing racism towards their son and publicly shared their grievances on television. Harry and Meghan now live in California, where they also welcomed their daughter, Princess Lilibet.
