Being royal seems like fun and games.
That is, until you factor in all the pressure to be professional at all times.
Considering that Prince William will someday be King of England, people are always watching.

William and Kate Middleton have even beenstepping up their royal dutieslately, which means more time to be seen.
That being said, there have been some major changes to the monarchy lately, and it shows literally.
The royal family are getting a little handsy lately, and people don’t hate it.

The two stopped in the Bahamas as part of their tour.
While there, the two were even spotted by aTikTokuser holding hands while they left their hotel.
While they might be royal, they still are human after all.

“I can’t cope with Kate.
She is perfection,” one comment read.
Another echoed the sentiment, saying, “Lovely to see them holding hands.”

Overall, this is one royal protocol switch up that almost everyone is excited about.
The royals are trying to modernize the monarchy
The royal hand holding is likely a conscious decision.
“So now it’s more ‘Wills and Kate’ instead of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge.”

This may also be why they’ve gotten a little handsy lately.
The two have been seen holding hands at events and evenkissed on stage at the Invictus Games.
Of course, the change in royal PDA could just be just that.
The couple was often photographed holding hands and walking with linked arms.
They’ve only been photographed locking lips three times over their multi-decade romance.
However, it is rare.
The royals are held to different standards than our favorite celebrities when it comes to PDA.
