The adorable gesture Harry and Meghan make to show they miss each other.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex often make public appearances together but since their marriage in May, they have started to take on their own separate engagements too.
Harry recently embarked on a solo royal tour of Zambia and Meghan appeared at the British Fashion Awards this week to present an award to Givenchy’s Artistic Director, Claire Waight Keller.
Eagle-eyed royal fans have spotted that the couple always do the same thing, an adorable gesture to be fair, when they’re apart from each other and it’s all very cute altogether.
Apparently, Meghan and Harry always touch their wedding rings when they’re apart from and now people think they do this to show how much they’re missing each other.

During Monday night’s event, Meghan couldn’t stop playing with her wedding ring and as Cosmopolitan pointed out, Harry was spotted doing the exact same thing during a recent appearance.
I noticed at the awards show tonight that #MeghanMarkle at one point twirling her wedding ring in the same manner that #princeharry often does. I wonder if that’s a secret signal they have for each other? ??

A body language expert has weighed in on the subject too and there’s a really lovely meaning behind this gesture, something that Harry and Meghan are probably doing subconsciously.
Chatting to Express previously Judi James explained:
“In Harry’s case this looks like a self-comfort ritual performed for two reasons, when he’s feeling under pressure or lonely.”
“It allows him to create a barrier with his arms but by seeking out his wedding ring to touch and play with it suggests he’s missing the back-up and support of his wife here”.
Stop it with the CUTE already.
Meghan was spotted cradling her bump at the awards and it’s clear that they’re both very excited to welcome their first child in spring 2019.
We didn’t think it was possible for them to get any cuter and then we find out about this adorable gesture.
