I'm cynical. I think it's a publicity thing pure and simple. They are grownups.
@Sooner For me the issue is not people holding hands, but the royal couples, when they are pictured, are working. This is work for them to go out dressed up and meet people. That is all the work they do and when they are working it is supposed to be for the greater good, not to make goo-goo eyes at each other and look as if they cannot wait to jump in bed together. Their job is to focus on the people, not one another. It looks like two kids in junior high holding hands in the halls between classes and it is not cute, it is not loving...it is silly. They need to do their jobs. Do you think if my husband and I worked togehter, we could walk around holding hands all day?

They're NEWLYWEDS! I see nothing wrong with the way that they look at each other, I see love in their eyes not lust!

I often see senior couples walking and holding hands where I live. I always smile when I see this.

@Katcat1 Probably because she remembers being at the signing ending the war!

The photo shows how Kate has aged IMO. She has aged well and is very pretty, but has definitely aged (see esp. around her eyes). We had a different recent discussion about this on another thread - I'm just saying the close-up photo really points it out.

She is just 36, not that old. She should

just use a little less eye shadow or a lighter color. That darker color is kinda severe.

@50Mickey It's not just cynicism. It's a comment. It's a comment on a topic up for discussion. It's what I think. I think at this point it is overdone and looks silly for two grownups to be hanging onto one another at every moment. So that's what I think. It's not finding fault its having an opinion. Is an opinion on the forbidden list?

Your neighbors aren't in the limelight or part of a ruling family are they? I agree 110% with the OP, they are at work, representing a Country. It is not about them! Also, your neighbors hand holding is geniune I am sure, and they isn't social media following them I bet.

I agree with you on Kate Middleton. She is the most impeccably dressed woman I have ever seen. Everything this woman wears is fitted to a tee and her accessories add to her outfits beautifully. Never over-the-top but just enough. I've never seen her look not "put together" while in public. She dresses so classy. Something we are in dire need of in today's world.

@Sooner- You have every right to post your opinion. I don't understand why some get their feathers ruffled when another poster has a different opinion.

You said it well - "It's a comment on a topic up for discussion". No one should get blasted for stating an opinion.
