How Meghan and Harry's PDA is inspiring Kate and Wills

It’s normally the younger sibling that copies their older sibling, but in the case of Prince William and Prince Harry the roles have been reversed.

Since Meghan Markle came on to the royal scene, she and her now-husband Harry have packed on the PDA at public engagements, which is unusual for the royal family.

“Now that Meghan has joined The Firm, her own determinedly tactile behaviour with Harry does seem to have had a profound ‘echo’ effect on William and Kate’s rituals,” body language expert, Judi James, told the Mail Online.

According to Judy, the Duke of Cambridge has previously “erred on the side of bland” when it came to his relationship with the Duchess as to make sure there’s been no “signs of rifts, fallings-out or disagreements”.

She believes it’s being around newlyweds is what has reignited the sparks in Kate and Wills’ marriage.

“When a couple have been married several years it can often take family newlyweds like Harry and Meghan to rekindle some more public displays of romance like this,” she said.
