Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have stopped being so publicly intimate with one another after they "evolved" their relationship.
The couple have moved on "drastically" beyond their "tactile" PDA phase when they first went public with their relationship in 2016 an expert has claimed. Harry and Meghan very quickly became known for their physically affectionate displays when out in public, especially as it is something that you would not normally see from the Royal Family.
Now body language expert Darren Stanton has claimed that there has been a visible decrease in physical intimacy from The Duke And Duchess Of Sussex. He explained that they are "not being as tactile with one another" as their "relationship has evolved."

"When they started dating and became more established as an official couple, they were very affectionate in public, almost more affectionate than William and Kate." The expert confirmed that while Harry and Meghan still give fans a glimpse of their intimacy they have become far more private about their personal lives.
He said: "I feel that they have toned it down a bit in recent times. I have seen their engaged eye contact has decreased and they aren't as tactile with one another.
"While they do love each other and they will do anything to support one another, we tend not to see them being as openly passionate. Despite this, the pair clearly have huge levels of respect for each other, and are there for each other through everything."

The couple dated behind the scenes for several months before going public with their romance in October 2016.
A year later they announced their engagement and when they shared photos of his proposal they set the scene of how Harry used a picnic blanket and electric candles in the grounds of Kensington Palace before asking her to marry him with her dog Guy beside them. They then got hitched in May 2018 at St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle.
The couple then had a star-studded reception bash at Frogmore House with fireworks over the lake and Idris Elba acting as their DJ. The couple quit the Royal family and moved to America shortly after the arrival of their son Archie in May 2019. They have since welcomed daughter Lilibet and set up home permanently in the states.
