Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's public display of affection during the Invictus Games has been branded "miscalculated and nauseating".
The former press secretary to William Hague, the then leader of the British Conservative Party, wrote: "We had a fawning Meghan making doe eyes while looking up at him, clutching his arm and grabbing his face for a very public kiss.
The Duchess of Sussex, 43, was snapped clutching the royal's arm and grabbing his face at one event during the Games in and near Vancouver, Canada.
And according to PR expert Edward Coram James, the CEO of Go Up, Meghan should have rethought going to the Invictus Games altogether.
The loved-up display was praised by fans as being affectionate and romantic - days before Valentine's Day - but it has also led to some to wonder why Meghan's trip was seemingly cut short.
