Kate Middleton and Prince William subtly packed on PDA by doing a certain move.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have been married for eight years already. Their courtship lasted for almost a decade, so they have been together for almost 20 years.

However, Prince William and Middleton are not as tactile as Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex aren’t shy in holding each other’s hand when in public. Prince William and Middleton rarely do it, but they have a certain action to subtly show each other their affection.

In this photo shared on Instagram, Middleton can be seen touching Prince William’s back. Prince William does the same to his wife.

In another photo shared on social media, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are standing with their back on the camera. Prince William noticeably places a hand on Middleton’s waist.

This isn’t the first time Prince William touches his wife in public. On St. Patrick’s Day parade in 2018, the Duke of Cambridge was photographed giving Middleton a reassuring hand on the back. At the time, the Duchess of Cambridge was already eight months pregnant with their youngest son, Prince Louis.

Another photo on Instagram showcased Prince William and Middleton holding hands while walking. In the short clip, the couple appears very comfortable with each other and are holding hands the entire time which was new to some fans especially those who haven’t seen them doing it.

“First time I see them holding hands How sweet,” one royal fan commented.

In related news, Prince Harry reportedly felt that Prince William got so boring after he married Middleton. However, according to royal biographer Katie Nicholl, the Duke of Sussex just felt lonely and detached. Prince Harry was also bitter because he knew that his relationship with his big brother would never be the same.

Prince Harry was very close to Prince William and Middleton. He always joined the Cambridges in different royal engagements that they were dubbed the “royal trio.” However, according to Vicky Ward, it actually took longer for Prince Harry to warm up to his sister-in-law.
