Royal etiquette expert Myka Meier, founder and director of Beaumont Etiquette,previously told PEOPLEthat there are no formal rules on royal couples showing romantic gestures in public — it’s at their own discretion.
“Senior members of the royal family would likely not be told how to interact or when they can or can not show PDA and would be trusted to use their better judgment as to when it’s appropriate,” Meier explained. “The royals often adjust PDA to mirror the formality of the event they are attending. At a somber or more formal event, we are less likely to see PDA than at a casual event where it would be deemed more fitting.”
