to wish Harry and Meghan would stop holding hands when on official engagements

[FleetwithPike]

I think she is beautiful and he seems like a nice chap. I wish them a long and happy life with their child/ren.

But for the love of God, could they stop holding hands - they're not on a date, they're carrying out official business!

Makes me cringe, so it does.

[DailyMailWankers]

Oh don't be a misery guts

[Bluntness100]

I think it's sweet and doesn't bother me, they are newly weds after all.

[ginandnappies]

Deary me.

[WhiteDust]

They've set a precedence now & will have to hold hands FOREVER!
The day they stop, the tabloids will go into meltdown

I agree. They are at work.

[Disquieted1]

Newlyweds holding hands. What next!!
Let them enjoy it while they can. There will be plenty of rough days ahead.

[TeeBee]

Oh god, who cares?

[Gromance02]

they're not on a date, they're carrying out official business YY to this. The press refer to their pottering around as 'engagements' and 'work' therefore they should behave as if they are at work. You don't see married couples that work together going on like M&H! It is really simpering and over the top too. As if they think are so much more in love than anyone else!

[M0gg]

Get a fucking life.

YANBU, just comes across as immature and unnecessary.

[WhiteDust]

M0gg
Is that you Meghan?

[BarbedBloom]

I think it is lovely and I also thought it was lovely that Harry was fine with the little boy hugging him the other day, which is also against normal royal protocol. I have seen a lot worse at work over the years than holding hands.

[Lifeisabeach09]

Some couples are more demonstrative than others.
More power to them.

[MaluCachu]

Gee whizz,an all new low in ‘moaning’.Go for a walk or something.

[glenthebattleostrich]

I know, and did you see that floozy Catherine groping the future kings thigh at his cousins wedding. Disgraceful behaviour. Left me fuming it did.

Or isn't it nice that they are a happy couple!

[justfloatingpast]

"Get a fucking life."

Well, aren't you charming MOgg..


I know what you mean OP. They do sometimes look more like loved up teenagers giggling together in a corner, than a royal couple on an official engagement.

[NorthEndGal]

There is nothing wrong with it, I would much rather see a couple that actually cares about each other, and shows they are human, then some stiff formal crap

[justfloatingpast]

I love the posters telling you to 'go for a walk' 'get a life' etc whilst working themselves up into frothing indignation at someone posting an innocuous view on a chat site.

[BruegelTheElder]

PP said "Gee whizz,an all new low in ‘moaning’.Go for a walk or something" and that's "frothing indignation"? Classic mumsnet. The hyperbole is real.

[DarlingNikita]

It's sweet. They love each other. I'm not a royalist by any means but I think it does the royal family's image good. I like that they look so relaxed and approachable (the hugging and touching Harry's beard, as mentioned, was very sweet to see).

[justfloatingpast]

It's all in the tone Bruegel.

[donquixotedelamancha]

I look forward to the day we eat the rich but even I think you are being a bit miserable here OP.

[FannyFanjo]

It's lovely. They seem so much in love and very down to earth. DD is obsessed with them so I regularly have to watch the news about them due to her insistence.

[MrsStrowman]

I do actually agree about inappropriate for work, DH and I work for the same government ministry, if we held hands at work we'd be spoken to and potentially disciplined, also it would be a bit cringey walking into a meeting holding hands. However let's be honest, and I say this as someone who is in favour of the royals, what they do isn't actually work, so I'm not sure it applies

[Notacluewhatthisis]

Why would someone else holding hands bother you?

[tiggerkid]

Doesn't bother me
