Why Meghan Markle and Prince Harry Are No Longer Holding Hands and Showing PDA at Every Event

He has voiced his concern about pressure being piled on the Duchess of Sussex, as she comes to terms with life as a busy member of the royal family.
Mr Markle said: ‘I can see it in her eyes, I see it in her face and I see it in her smile. I’ve seen her smile for years. I know her smile. I don’t like the one I’m seeing now,’ he told The Sun on Sunday.
Describing himself as ‘worried’ about his daughter, he added that her ‘pained smile’ might show that she is struggling to cope with the pressure of taking on royal duties.

Meghan Markle just shut down pregnancy rumours in the best way
Ever since she started dating Prince Harry, Meghan Markle has been at the centre of royal baby rumours. But now, the Duchess of Sussex set the record straight for once and for all without even saying a word. On day one of the Royal visit to Ireland, Meghan and Prince Harry attended a summer soiree at the British Ambassador's residence at Glencairn House in Dublin. At the function, the Duchess of Sussex was pictured raising a glass of what looks to be champagne during a toast. And it wasn't just a stunt glass, the 36-year-old was seen actually DRINKING from it.
The eatery was closed to the public so that the couple could enjoy their meal - washed down with Irish coffee and Guinness - away from prying eyes, and they were seated in 'the snug', a cosy corner tucked away towards the rear of the venue.
Last month saw Meghan beam as she took to the streets of London during the Trooping the Colour to mark the Queen's 92nd birthday.
