Harry and Meghan’s PDA at Windsor Castle Funeral Draws Criticism from Bethany Frankel

The public tributes held on September 10th at Windsor Castle for the late Queen Elizabeth II were attended by Prince William, Catherine, Prince Harry, and Meghan Markle.

While many expected the reunion of the Fab Four to draw attention, it was Harry and Meghan's body language that ignited the internet.

The couple was seen holding hands and walking closely together, while there was quite a bit of distance between Prince William and his wife.

Fans of Harry and Meghan defended their decision to show affection, using it as proof of their love.

However, not everyone was impressed.

Bethany Frankel, during an episode of her Just Be With Bethany Frankel podcast, shared her uncensored thoughts about the couple's PDA and public reaction to it.

Frankel stated that it's ridiculous to compare the affection shown by a couple who have been together for two to three years with that of a couple who have been together for almost two decades.

She went on to say that it's unwise to read into William and Catherine's body language because they are going to be the future king and queen.

As for Harry and Meghan, Frankel left them with some harsh words.

She told them to “get your fucking shit together and grow up” and criticized their behavior at a royal funeral.

Frankel questioned why the couple couldn't keep their hands to themselves and twirled each other's hair at such a solemn occasion.

This isn't the first time Frankel has expressed her disapproval of Harry and Meghan.

In a previous episode of her podcast, she called Meghan sanctimonious and compared her to Housewives stars who continue to talk about the shows they left.

Despite the criticism, an expert claimed that Harry and Meghan's behavior was appropriate.

Body language expert and connections specialist Katie Aloisel explained that the couple's mutual displays of affection, comfort, and reassurance were in line with their personalities and Prince Harry's work as a mental health ambassador.

Aloisel also stated that emotions are complex and people express them differently.

Some withdraw, while others reach out for comfort and reassurance.

During the service, Meghan sat very still, her gaze fixed and looking straight ahead or downcast towards the floor.

However, once the service had concluded, there was a marked non-verbal shift in Prince Harry and Meghan.

As they prepared to enter their car, Prince Harry gently touched the small of Meghan's back in a reassuring gesture.

He then puffed his cheeks before blowing outwards, a pacifying behavior used to release stress.

This behavior may have been a cathartic release from the difficult task of maintaining composure during the service.

In conclusion, while Harry and Meghan's PDA drew criticism from some, it was seen as appropriate by an expert who understood the couple's personalities and context.

The public reaction to their behavior highlights the complexity of emotions and how people express them differently.
