Public displays of affection among the royals are rare to see. Usually when members of the Queen’s family are spotted out and about, they are in a working capacity, carrying out an official engagement. It would be a tad unprofessional if they walked around holding hands, or showered each other with kisses and hugs, but on occasion, they do relax and show they’re just like everybody else. Who doesn’t love a cheeky peck on the cheek or the comfort of interlinking hands? Let’s take a look at the royals and their loved-up moments, starting with…
The Queen and Prince Philip
Fans rarely see the Queen and her husband of 71 years show affection in public, so we love it when they do! The Duke of Edinburgh gallantly helped his wife down the steps of St Paul’s Cathedral in 2015 after the couple had attended a Service of Commemoration to mark the end of combat operations in Afghanistan.

Prince William and Kate
The Duke of Cambridge did the same after the birth of his daughter Charlotte in May 2015. Here, he is pictured giving his wife Kate a helping hand as she manoeuvred the steps of the Lindo Wing, while William held onto baby Charlotte.

Shortly after Prince George’s first birthday, William and Kate travelled to Glasgow to attend the 20th Commonwealth Games. The pair shared a loved-up moment as they watched the swimming.

Prince Harry and Meghan
Harry and Meghan have been the subject of much discussion thanks to their very tactile appearances. But we love it when the couple hold hands in public – it makes them all the more relatable!

Ah, a true look of love!

Prince Charles and Camilla
The future King has previously said his wife is “perhaps a bit more relaxed when it’s slightly more private or when you’re meeting people without being totally surrounded all the time by the dreaded camera.” But during engagements, Camilla has proved she’s a natural, and always looks like she’s having fun with her husband.

Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank
Eugenie and Jack looked very much like they were in the honeymoon phase as they stepped out on Christmas Day, just two months after their royal wedding.

Peter Phillips and Autumn Phillips
The Queen’s eldest grandchild Peter and his wife Autumn looked completely relaxed as they made their way to an Easter service in 2018.

Zara Tindall and Mike Tindall
We just love how carefree and in love the Tindalls always look. Walking hand-in-hand, here they are pictured arriving at the Cheltenham Festival.

Despite the formality of the event at Buckingham Palace – Zara had just been awarded an MBE for services to equestrianism – the couple sweetly held hands as they were photographed by the press.

Prince Edward and the Countess of Wessex

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands
Looking further afield to the Netherlands, the Dutch royals are also known to show their affectionate side.

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince Daniel
Arriving hand-in-hand at the wedding of Prince Guillaume of Luxembourg and Princess Stephanie, the Swedish royals couldn’t have looked happier.

Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway
Haakon and Mette-Marit, who were attending the same wedding in Luxembourg, shared a sweet moment as they arrived for the royal nuptials.

Princess Sofia and Prince Carl Philip of Sweden
The Swedish royals had plenty of reason to smile when this photo was taken in July 2017. Sofia was eight months pregnant with the couple’s second child, Prince Gabriel.

Queen Mathilde and King Philippe of Belgium
Even at official engagements, such as the launch of the summer exhibition at the Belgian royal palace, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde indulge in a little PDA.

King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain
The Spanish royals are also never shy to show their affection in public.
