The public smooch marks the couple out from Prince William and Kate Middleton, who — with the exception of their 2011 wedding kiss — tend to avoid such public displays of affection.
PR expert Nick Ede told Yahoo U.K. that Meghan and Harry are helping to make “public affection acceptable.”
This isn’t the first time Meghan Markle and Prince Harry have kissed in public.
Aside from their much-celebrated wedding kisses, they previously shared an intimate moment at a polo match at the Sentebale Polo Cup at Berkshire polo Club in July 2018.
The couple, who wed in May 2018, are generally much more affectionate in public and are regularly pictured holding hands, for instance during a recent appearance at the Lion King premiere in July.
