Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Packed on the PDA

From Harper's BAZAAR

Meghan Markle not only celebrated her debut at the Royal Ascot today; she also rang in her one-month wedding anniversary with Prince Harry. If you've been living under a rock and didn't know the two were newlyweds, their loved-up PDA at today's event would certainly give it away. The Duke and Duchess of Sussex seemed inseparable at the festivities, and it was too sweet to handle.

Though the couple sat across from each other while entering on a horse-drawn carriage, the were seen holding hands or linking arms throughout the event.

They walked hand-in-hand across the field amongst other attendees:

The Duchess held onto her husband's arm while mingling with the crowd:

She was also seen putting her hand on her husband's back a few times:

And, of course, they were seen holding hands again:

The hand-holding and subtle back rubs are typical for the Duke and Duchess, who have been openly showing PDA since their first royal engagements together in December.

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, however, are a bit more restrained. The couple usually avoids PDA on their official engagements, proven by their toned-down body language at their first Royal Ascot together in 2016.

Though they did get close at one point:

PDA isn't exactly banned for the Cambridges; however it is less common because Prince William is a future King (he's third in line for the throne) and he and Kate Middleton likely want to maintain a professional image. In the end, the decision to show affection depends on the event and the couple.

"While we are much less likely to see The Duke and Duchess holding hands in public, we often see Prince Charles and The Duchess of Cornwall holding hands – it’s all simply a matter of preference for each couple and is also likely dependent on the nature of the event they are attending," etiquette expert Myka Meier told People in 2017. "A more serious engagement would warrant a more serious level of professionalism, which each royal is sure to follow."
