How Kate Middleton and Prince William Have Been Inspired By Harry and Meghan’s Constant PDA

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle aren’t afraid of a little PDA. Which bodes well for us because it means we get to say ‘aww!’ on repeat every time they step out together.

Recently we saw Harry give his wife his jacket when they visited Redwoods Tree Walk in New Zealand, him grabbing Meghan's bum during their tour of Sydney and even gushing about his wife and their future baby in a speech.

But while it might not be traditionally royal to look so loved-up in public, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are basically making their own rule book and we love it.

And now it seems as though their touchy-feely nature is actually rubbing off on other members of the royal family, as experts think Prince William and Kate Middleton have become a lot more comfortable around each other in recent weeks.

Speaking to MailOnline, body language expert Judi James said: "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.

"Normally its a younger sibling that will mimic or mirror the older, but in Harry and William's case it seems to be William taking his lead from his younger brother and his wife."

Want an example? Well, over the weekend Kate and Will attended a Remembrance Day service at Westminster Abbey where the Duke of Cambridge was seen lovingly putting his hand on Kate's back.

"It's unusual to see William taking the lead in terms of public touch rituals with Kate but on Remembrance Sunday he performed this back-touch ritual, even splaying his thumb out to signal a rather protective form of affection," Judi told the Daily Mail.

Just a few days before, Kate was also pictured resting her hand on her husband's knee during a visit to Coach Core in Essex.

And defying tradition, the couple were even seen holding hands inside St. Georges's Chapel at Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank's wedding last month.

And it was seriously adorable...

Well, whether Wills is taking PDA inspo from his younger brother or not, we want to see as much royal cuteness as possible please.
