Prince Harry was captured staring at Kate Middleton’s face in one adorable photo.

The Duke of Sussex and Duchess of Cambridge were very close before he married Meghan Markle. In fact, Prince Harry was like a third wheel to Prince William and Middleton because they attend royal engagements together.

Royal fans dubbed the three royals “the royal trio” because they were almost inseparable. Middleton and Prince Harry’s closeness is visible in this photo that resurfaced on Instagram.

In the snap, Prince Harry leans forward to stare at Middleton’s face. Meanwhile, the Duchess of Cambridge stares back at her brother-in-law and appears to be holding back her smile.

“Friendship goals,” the caption read.

Prince Harry and Middleton had a lot of fun times together that some royal fans missed seeing them together. Another adorable photo of Prince William’s wife and younger brother featured them in their most animated expression.

In the photo, Prince Harry and Middleton are closing their eyes with their mouths wide open. They seemed to be enjoying the moment so much that they couldn’t hold back their joy. Their expressions mirrored each other.

Following Prince Harry’s marriage to Markle, he decided to have a separate household and charity from his big brother and sister-in-law. From then on, Prince Harry has not joined Prince William and Middleton in different engagements like they used to do.

Due to the Prince Harry’s distance relationship to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, many blamed his wife. According to them, Prince Harry only changed following Markle’s arrival.

“Before the arrival of Meghan. They were very nice their friendship [sic]. He has made a strong change after his marriage...” one royal fan commented on Prince Harry and Middleton’s photo.

“Before the monster arrival this people look happy,” another follower added.

“MM messed everything [up],” a different user wrote with a sad emoji.

Prince Harry and Markle were last seen together without Prince William and Middleton at Anzac Day service at Westminster Abbey in April. According to reports, Prince Harry was not expected to attend the event but had a change of heart and decided to accompany his sister-in-law. Markle was still on maternity leave at the time while Prince William was in New Zealand.
