Meier also explained that public displays of affection are “simply a matter of preference for each couple and is also likely dependent on the nature of the event.” Even though there are outliers like Charles and Camilla who have also been seen holding hands, this is the general rule of thumb: “a more serious engagement would warrant a more serious level of professionalism, which each royal is sure to follow.”

Professionalism
One should note that this professionalism was once strictly followed. In the 2017 biography titled Prince Charles: The Passions and Paradoxes of an Improbable Life, the author said that the public affection, or lack thereof, between Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip has always been on display. Sally Bedell-Smith, the person behind the non-fiction book, said, “In the manner of the upper class, neither of them were physically demonstrative.”
