Is it protocol for royal couples to hold hands?
Is it protocol for royal couples to hold hands? When Prince Harry and Meghan lived in the royal family, many scolded them for showing affection in public, particularly for holding hands. There is no direct prohibition on royal couples holding hands or hugging in protocol, but showing affection in public is considered undesirable. This is, firstly, justified by the fact that family members attending the event come to work, not on a date. In such a situation, of course, it is not very polite to hold hands. Secondly, this rule comes from the times when royalty did not allow themselves to show their feelings in public. In the days of Queen Elizabeth's youth, it was hardly proper to hold hands, much less kiss in public. A gentleman might offer a lady his hand to help her over the kerb or down the steps. The lady might have continued to hold his hand as they walked, but that was the end of it. But of course, royals are human too, so we've seen them holding hands at various times. And it's very cute.

Holding hands in public is acceptable once in while i.e. at the Queen's funeral, but other than that it's juvenile behavior.
With Megan is not affection. It’s control 😮

Prince William and Princess Katherine, also Princess Royal and her husband and the Duke and Dutchess of Edinburgh, know what is expected of them. So is king Charles and Camilla. Why make such a drama over nothing. Whatever Harry and his wife do is up to them . They are nothing to do with the British royal family anymore they left

Also meagain is always clawing at him.
Holding hands is one thing, but the old crow megsi claws at Harry like a cat that had the cream.
Keep on holding hands!! You can work and be on a date too. That is called multitasking!!❤

When one wears vertically challenging high heels it’s a great comfort to have a supporting hand. However there is a time and place for hand holding and especially one doesnt in times of high ceremony .

Intermittent hand-holding is one thing. Death grips reinforced with Gorilla Glue is a bit much even for high-schoolers. More possessive than affection, IMO.

Please leave them alone. They have obviously decided that they are no longer wanted in this country, so let’s make a good life abroad. Everyone has choices. They are human beings not lizard people ok . I’m sure William and Katie wanted to hold hands but we’re not allowed 🚫 ? Let’s try and be a bit human about this ?

Prince William and Princess Catherine are allowed to hold hands but because they are working and they are working they take it seriously at work but Prince Harold and his wife didn’t get the message. In my opinion. Everything I see now Prince Harold Isn’t allowed to not hold his wife’s hand. She has been connected to him at every second. And dragged like a puppy on a leash in every direction she wants They both just look so miserable and sad it really is. I hope that prince Harold getting married. He be so happy but and all the pictures it doesn’t look like it.

That's like asking if it's protocol to be human. I mean, what's the point of all the protocol? It's like this big show that went too far. They (RF, heads of state) need to remember that they are people dealing with people. Things got so stuffy and rigid under QEII it was no longer about family, it was about military deportment and being the "firm"; a caricature of the military-industrial complex. Scary. I think, going all the way back, royals were taught to be terrified of not being taken seriously so they hid behind this veil of importance. (Reminds me of birds that fluff up their feathers to ward off potential danger.) The RF is heavily engaged with charities and the public. This is what gives them credibility. The world is going through tough times now. Having people who are caring, are on their side, who are offering relief and comfort and sharing their family life in common will give them all the credibility they could ever need. People want a saner, softer, quieter family centered world. If families are in tact and making it, people just feel safer and consequently happier and more comfortable. As for protocol, let's not lose sight of what's important in todays world: looking like an antiquated stuffed shirts, or looking like people the public can relate to as extended family?
It’s not the hand holding. It’s the pushing in front like she’s more important than Harry and needs to be first.
Bread and circuses
There is excellent eticuette of culture behaviour for public persons...There is Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is best...R.I.P. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The difference between Harry and Meghan was they showed up to work events and did this. They were there for travel, patronages, there in the Queen’s name and they held hands or she clung to his side. On numerous occasions is was seen that this was done as an attempt to block interaction with people, which was rude. William and Kate do not do this. They have occasionally held hands for emotional moments, and on their way out of an event after meeting people. You do not see them doing it to block social interaction.
Charles and Camilla show affection in public and other Royals do so too. Why attack people for showing affection? What is wrong with you people double standards and hypocrisy is dripping not cute
For the RF holding hands at a public event makes it awkward to shake hands with the audience or to receive flowers. It also makes it feel like a barrier between the couple and the people attending the event. If i was at work, i wouldn't hold my husband's hand. it's not professional.

Harry & the person he married Aka "the claw" are just too much, they dibt hold hands she has him imprisoned by holding his hand AND the same arm while walking along.
No pda allowed in public
