Prince Harry was caught doing a cheeky gesture to Meghan Markle during their recent trip to Australia.

The Duke of Sussex was photographed boarding a plane from Sydney ahead of their trip to New Zealand. In the series of snaps, Prince Harry was seen walking behind the Duchess of Sussex and helping her up the stairs. One of the photos showed Prince Harry touching Markle’s bum.

Royal fans couldn’t help but comment hilariously at Prince Harry’s bold move considering that a lot of people could see them while they were boarding the plane.

“OMG. PDA next level. Cheeky Harry,” one person tweeted.

“Yes I do think Harry is going to get this picture and frame it,” one person joked.

“Love how he has his hand on her butt,” another person commented.

Prince Harry’s cheeky move may have not been intentional. After all, he may have just been helping Markle up the stairs because the “Suits” alum is pregnant with their first child. Markle is expected to give birth sometime in the spring of 2019.

In related news, Prince Harry and Markle’s PDA caused a division among the hosts and viewers of ITV’s “This Morning.” Hosts Eammon Holmes and Ruth Langsford claimed that the couple’s PDA has become a bit over the top, but viewers of the show said there’s nothing wrong with it.

“#ThisMorning PDA oh my days! Cours it’s fine. Why would it not be, especially with the #RoyalFamily! Some sad, sad people about!” one person tweeted (via Express).

“Nothing wrong with PDA even for the Royals. It shows they are human. I love it,” another person commented.

“It is not a job. It’s Harry and Meghan’s life. Embrace the PDA,” one person wrote.

“Me and my fiancé don’t do PDA, that’s our choice. Behind closed doors we are very affectionate,” another fan tweeted.

Prince Harry and Markle are known as two of the most affectionate royals in public. They are very different from Prince William and Kate Middleton, who rarely touch each other during public engagements.
