The younger royals ‘can’t get away with being aloof’, says expert
As a well known football fan and as the FA’s president, Prince William attended the UEFA Women's EURO 2022 final last week where he watched England’s Lionesses finally bring football home.
And while the sight of a senior royal hugging members of the public is a rare occurrence, one royal expert has claimed that William’s gesture was a deliberate choice. “That was a lot to do with the mystique surrounding the family but also for security reasons, too,” he says. “The Queen can get away with it because she’s the Queen and she’s from a different era, but the younger royals have been brought up very differently.”
“It won’t feel unnatural to William - if anything, it’d feel more uncomfortable if it was just a strict handshake. As well as this, seeing royals hug makes them relevant and modern.”
