Prince Harry Caught Off Guard by Meghan Markle’s PDA
During a recent public appearance, Prince Harry seemed to be in his own world, gazing off into the distance with a lack of interest. His wife, Meghan Markle, however, had other plans. She subtly placed her hand on his right arm and began rubbing it up and down, trying to bring him back to the present moment.
After a moment, Prince Harry caught on to her hint and turned to the camera with a big smile, giving a thumbs-up to the crowd. While some may have found Markle’s gesture endearing, others found it to be a bit strange.
One royal watcher took to Reddit to express their thoughts, saying, “This is embarrassing. He is so checked out from her that she has to manhandle him to get him to come back to earth. Mortifying.”
Another commenter questioned the nature of the gesture, asking, “That mechanical rubbing is so weird. Like, what is it? Rub the magic lamp to summon the genie?”
There were even comparisons made to Pavlovian conditioning, with one user jokingly stating, “It’s called Pavlovian conditioning. I do this with my dog, using a toy to reward him when he has performed a trick correctly. Harry gets an arm rub to let him know that it’s his time to shine. Good boy, Harry!”
Some were quick to point out the irony of Prince Harry’s current demeanor, considering his past remarks about feeling pressured to perform while part of the royal family. One commenter remarked, “Oh my word – this is the man who said he felt forced to perform when he was with the RF. Just look at you now! Smile, Harry, smile!”
Despite the mixed reactions to Meghan Markle’s PDA tactics, it’s clear that the couple’s dynamic continues to captivate audiences and spark conversations among royal watchers.
