Looks of love on Harry and Meghan's wedding anniversary

In the run-up to their sixth wedding anniversary, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex went on an unofficial tour of Nigeria. Their schedule included events and activities related to their Archwell Foundation and the Invictus Games, a multi-sport event organized by the prince, which was celebrating its 10th anniversary. The couple appeared joyful as they engaged with people across the country, but social media users suggested they looked uncomfortable when 'God Save the King,' was played during a ceremony, likely because Nigeria is a former British colony and the Sussexes have separated themselves from the royal family. Regardless, they seemed very at ease during their visit overall, and were photographed holding hands and kissing. Ever since they made their first official appearance together, Harry and Meghan have completely ignored the royal rules against public displays of affection (PDA). But it's not just the hand-holding and body language that made them the cutest royal couple around–it's those loving gazes that the cameras always catch!
