As a member of the Royal family, you can be expected to adhere to certain strict protocols.
Unmarried women in the family aren't allowed to wear a tiara, shellfish is off the menu when travelling and PDA is most certainly frowned upon.
Kate and William will likely neverbe spotted holding hands, or kissing at any public engagement, however for Prince Harry there appears to be a different set of rules.
At the Invictus Games in Toronto, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle were snapped looking very cosy, despite the obvious eyes and lenses on them.

The event marked their first appearance as a couple, and Harry took full advantage by holding his girlfriend's hand and planting a kiss on Markle.

Prince William, the future King, is supposed to follow the Queen's example, and she has rarely ever been seen holding hands with Prince Philip.
Because of this, it has become an "unwritten precedent for the other royals", Robin Kermode, body language expert, told the Daily Mail.
"It is very clear that William and Kate are emotionally close, however, they do not seem to feel the need to prove their love - particularly when on official state business," he added.
"They come across as a strong, independent couple and while they are always on show, they do not feel the need to 'show' their love for each other to the world."
But can you really blame Harry and Meghan for wanting to flaunt their new-found love?
