Recently, Prince Harry made headlines for engaging in a little PDA with his girlfriend Meghan Markle at the Invicitus Games. More than being excited over simply seeing the two together (which is rare), people were in awe over how Meghan and Harry DGAF about engaging in a little PDA -- something Kate Middleton and Prince William rarely do. As it turns out, there's a reason Harry can be affectionate with his girlfriend in public, while William can't -- but hey, doesn't mean the duke and duchess don't get "frisky" in front of the cameras from time to time. 

As we recently learned, the reason William and Kate need to keep it pretty profesh in public is because they're set to be the King and Queen of England one day. Harry, on the other hand, is not. While people may be interested in what Harry does now, there will come a day when it's more about William and Kate's children -- and Harry knows it. So basically, there's less pressure on Harry and it's generally accepted that he can be a little more ... cheeky than his older brother. (Think about it: Do folks pay attention to what any of Queen Elizabeth's children other than Prince Charles do? No. Does anyone even know who the Queen's other children are?!)

Of course, all of this said, that doesn't mean William and Kate don't heart each other. They may not be able to make out in public, but they still show affection toward each other in their own way. And we must say, it's very royal. 

We're assuming the duke and duchess are a little more intimate behind closed doors, but here are 15 times they've shown "PDA" in public. When folks are royal, they have to do things their own way sometimes.
