Meghan Markle’s affectionate gestures towards Prince Harry have once again sparked debate, with social media users reacting strongly to her public displays of affection at the Invictus Games. Recent images of the Duchess of Sussex, showing her placing a hand on Harry’s cheek and leaning into his seat, have gone viral, igniting discussion about royal protocol and personal expression.

While some praised the couple’s loving bond, others criticized Meghan for what they deemed “unroyal” behavior. According to RadarOnline, Meghan remains unfazed by the criticism, viewing her public displays of affection as a natural way of supporting her husband.

An insider close to the couple revealed, “She feels very proud to be by his side.” The source further explained that Meghan is deeply affectionate by nature and has no desire to tone down her love for Harry, despite the scrutiny. “She’s wildly attracted to Harry and loves to kiss and cuddle and hold his hand and show the world how happy they are together,” the insider shared.

For Prince Harry, the Invictus Games hold a special place in his heart, making Meghan’s public support even more significant. The insider added, “Harry takes so much pride in his involvement. It’s definitely where he’s at his happiest.”

“This has always been his number one passion and the cause that speaks to his heart more than any other. It’s the event in his calendar that he looks forward to the most.” The Invictus Games, an international multi-sport event for wounded and injured service personnel, was founded by Prince Harry in 2014.

Over the years, it has become a cornerstone of his public work, and those close to him say it remains one of his proudest achievements. Despite the mixed reactions from the public, Meghan continues to stand by Harry, demonstrating her affection both privately and publicly.

While royal traditions typically lean towards more reserved behavior, the Sussexes have embraced a modern and open approach to their relationship. As Meghan and Harry navigate their public roles outside the constraints of the royal family, their displays of love and support remain a topic of fascination, drawing both admiration and criticism in equal measure.
