After the party, Prince Charles was asked by reporters what if feels like to turn 70. He responded:

“I’m not sure. It’s rather like indigestion. ‘Many Happy Returns’ are not quite the same as you get older.”

The media also loved the fact that Meghan and Catherine appear to have a close relationship, and that Catherine reportedly helped her settle into life as a royal.

They were also spotted together at Wimbledon. In turn, it is said that Meghan and Harry's display of public affection have influenced the way Prince William and Catherine show affection in public.

They appear more comfortable around each other these days, with Prince William lovingly placing his hand on Catherine's back, or Catherine placing her hand on his knee.

Prince Harry is often spotted placing his hand on the small of Meghan's back, and there are thousands of words have been written about the adoring way Meghan looks at Prince Harry.

It has always been clear that Prince William and Catherine have a deep and mutual love towards the other, but they don't often put that on display for the world.

Royal protocol plays a huge part in what is allowed when appearing in public in an official capacity, but it would appear as those unwritten rules are finally slackening a bit.
