Spence said royal couples occasionally hold hands in public, but usually in more causal places.
And while some said the show was inappropriate, others felt Meghan was simply supportive of her husband, who is grieving for his grandmother.
“I’ll give them a pass for the day when they walk out of Westminster Hall because this motorcade was so awful for Harry, and they’re all so sad,” Spence said.
