In a striking turn of events, Prince William seems to be taking on Meghan Markle‘s claims about British attitudes toward physical affection.
Known for his reserved demeanor, the Prince of Wales is now embracing a more approachable image, earning him the affectionate nickname, the Prince of Hugs.
This transformation stands in stark contrast to Meghan’s portrayal in her Netflix docuseries, where she argued that hugging strangers is often viewed as uncomfortable by many in the UK.
In the series, Meghan recounted a memorable moment with William and Princess Catherine.
She recalled her instinctive urge to hug them, which left the future king visibly taken aback.
This anecdote was further elaborated in Prince Harry‘s memoir, “Spare,” where he highlighted William’s surprise at Meghan’s spontaneous display of warmth.
It painted a picture of a royal family caught off guard by such informal gestures.
However, recent public appearances by Prince William suggest a different narrative altogether.
Rather than adhering to the stiff upper lip stereotype that Meghan described, he has been seen engaging warmly with fans and embracing a more affectionate approach.
This shift not only challenges Meghan’s claims but also reflects a broader evolution in the royal family’s engagement with the public.
