This week, I've mentioned quite a few highlights from the Duke and Duchess of Sussex’s recent tour of Colombia, from Meghan Markle's stunning fashion looks to Prince Harry's impressive dance moves. But right now, I'd like to draw your attention to one particular photo, featuring the royal couple showing some major PDA on the dance floor.

On day four of the trip, the duo salsa danced at the Unidad Recreativa El Vallado in Cali (like pros, I might add). And following their stellar routine, the duchess was pictured pulling her husband in for a kiss. The prince's back is mostly turned as they share this intimate moment, but I did notice something rather interesting.

In the pic, Markle cradles her husband's face as she kisses him, and his hands are placed on her upper back. Their gestures not only show their genuine feelings for each other, but they indicate the couple's complete comfort and safety with each other, whether they're in a private setting or surrounded by a crowd and loud music.

But don't just take my word for it. Body language expert Darren Stanton closely observed the royal couple during their trip, and on behalf of Betfair Roulette, he said, “This intimate exchange was filled with undeniable passion—they couldn’t keep their eyes off each other. Harry took the lead by initiating the dance. He wanted to connect with his wife on a deeper level.”

He added, “When they were letting their hair down and having a dance, Meghan and Harry gazed into each other’s eyes and both had their arms wrapped around each other. Their bodies were completely in sync. Towards the end, Meghan took control as she leaned towards Harry, placed her hands on his cheeks and pulled him in for a kiss. This proves Meghan liked that Harry took the lead—but she isn’t afraid to go for what she wants.”

I've noticed several other PDA moments throughout the trip, from hand-holding and private whispers to forehead kisses. And yes, I know that these affectionate displays have become the norm for Markle and Harry, but this romantic smooch on the dancefloor instantly stands out as one of their most romantic moments yet. And, after all, it's not every day that we see the duchess initiate a passionate kiss.
