Generally, British people are known for being quite reserved and we don’t do PDAs overmuch. The Queen and Prince Philip always maintained a professional demeanour towards each other in public, and Kate and William appear to be taking them as their role models. Hope that is on topic!
William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales

I get that, but I like seeing the little displays of affection. Idk why, but I especially like seeing it with Charles and Camilla
.I expect Kate & William really want to keep their personal feelings very private otherwise the press will feed off them. We do get rather subtle signs when they gaze at each other, which seems much more genuine, as has been shown in some of the behind the scenes photos from the Earthshot prize. I think they are still feeling their way, so to speak, on handholding, etc. in publicI get that, but I like seeing the little displays of affection.

Keeping something in reserve!
I love that during public speaking events, when it's appropriate to mention his wife's name, William calls her Catherine rather than "my wife." Using the term "my wife" has always implied ownership to me rather than respect. Charles pretty much always uses the term, but I think that's mostly to remind people that Camilla is his wife now, regardless of the circumstances surrounding their union.
Oh, and I LOVED Catherine's red dress, especially the beading. For me, it was the perfect holiday dress.

Yes, ‘Catherine‘ shows love, respect and equality.
What would we say to a husband pawing his wife in public?
Get a room?

Me too!OMG I want to be surprised by a reindeer too
Ohmygoodness, YES!! That is my favorite tiara & I've just been waiting for Kate to wear it! It's a bit more bling than normal for her though so I'm not sure when she will choose it.
This literally made me laugh out loud---fabulous throwback reference! They were quite the trainwreck.ETA: I wonder if we'll be able to watch Catherine's Christmas Carol show in the US. (To bring it back to topic.)
Imagine a guy and gal working in your office and they are in a relationship or married. They show up holding hands to meeting. He takes questions and engage in discussion during the meeting all the while his left hand on her knee. She wraps her hands on his arms, waist, going to the lunchroom. They head to the press conference whispering to each other and locked at the waist. They have a baby and he joins her in the lactating room daily, sometimes helping her pump pump.
Events are work situations for so-called royals, those who engage in it I hear are called 'working royals'. No sure why professional demeanor shouldn't apply to them.

I searched this thread but couldn't find discussions of this place where Kate rented her greenscreen dress in the UK - Hurr. I think it's an interesting concept. Has anyone tried it and how did it go. The price is not that steep I think, given how much quality tailored stuff cost to purchase nowadays.
I believe there are at least a few places in the US where designer items can be rented, as well but I've not done it and can't quite remember the names right now. I want to say one might be called Rent the Runway but I'm not sure.
I also noticed her green Mulberry bag worn in Boston can be rented from somewhere. Not the actual bag she wore but the same style and brand.
Actually, there's probably a thread somewhere here on tPF about these sorts of businesses.
