In addition to being protective, they have a very odd way of showing love, due to the very conservative nature of the crown, there is a limit to how public they can be.
One of the ways they show affection is giving each other nicknames. It helps to reduce the tension among themselves. For instance, Harry has three nicknames: Potter, Flash, and Gromit.

Kate Middleton called her husband ‘big Willy’ while they were dating, now she simply calls him ‘baldy.’
Sources close to the family say they do this because they are not good at communicating, so this helps them out.
Another thing that helps them reduce tension is the exchange of gifts; one person is always giving a present, no matter how silly it may seem.
