Popsugar Celebrity The Royals Princess Diana and Prince Harry Holding Hands Pictures 16 Diana and Harry Photos That Prove He Got His Hand-Holding Habit From His Mum 10 November 2018 by Monica Sisavat Solís Image Source: Getty / Pool APESTEGUY/DE KEERLE We can almost always count on Prince Harry and Meghan Markle to show PDA whenever they step out, and it seems we finally know where Harry's hand-holding habit comes from: Princess Diana. Even though Harry lost his mother at the young age of 12, it's clear that Diana's affectionate side rubbed off on her son. Throughout his childhood, Harry and Diana were frequently seen hugging and being playful with each other, just like Harry is with Meghan now.
