Whenever Prince Harry and Meghan Markle broke the royal protocol during their tour

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have had a busy week in Australia, and nothing will soon be easier for them.

The royal couple, who recently announced their first child's wait, is on a foreign tour that will take them to New Zealand, Fiji and Tonga over the next few days.

And while they are away from home, it seems that future parents have relaxed a little – so much so that they have even been seen violating the royal protocol several times.

Here is a snapshot of all the times that this has happened up to now.

The members of the royal family have strict rules of behavior during the engagement and they are just not supposed to do certain things, including kissing people.

According to a recent HBO documentary, the Royals have a strict policy of not sharing their hugs with members of the public.

However, they often shake hands with them.

But until now in Australia, Harry, 34, and Meghan, 37, have broken this rule several times.

The most interesting moment was in Melbourne, when the Duke of Sussex approached a 19-year-old woman in the crowd of Royal Botanic Gardens.

India Brown was holding a sign saying, "I have been here since 4 am, I love you since I was eight years old."

The student at the university became emotional when Harry came to talk to him and immediately burst into tears.

She asked the prince for a hug and, to his shock, he agreed – even if he knew it would cause him trouble.

Harry and Meghan were also photographed in the arms of a little boy during their visit to Dubbo.

Luke Vincent, age 5, who has Down syndrome, stole the show as he rushed to cuddle the couple and melt the hearts by rubbing the prince's beard.

The Duke and Duchess also offered hugs at an enthusiastic welcome party of 150 local schoolchildren waving a flag at the city's airport.

And on the fourth day of the tour, while they joined an "anti-bad vibe circle" on Bondi Beach, Harry was greeted enthusiastically by the band members – one of the best of them. between them going straight to a hug.

Another royal rule that both have broken is to take pictures with the fans.

Traditionally, members of the royal family do not take selfies with members of the public, but the couple made an exception by noticing in Sydney a girl looking like a Meghan girl.

Prince Harry called his wife to meet nine-year-old Sethunya Gibbons and photographed the couple.

In addition to breaking the official rules, the couple also did several things that are commonly regarded as frowned upon by members of the royal family, such as The Queen.

This includes demonstrations of affection in public such as holding hands.

There is no official protocol on this, but members of the royal family must behave professionally in all engagements.

This is why the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge very seldom hold hands in public, but Meghan and Harry have been photographed holding hands repeatedly since they left for Australia.

Meghan also chose to wear a pair of black wedge sandals during her visit to Bondi Beach on Friday, which are considered the queen's least favorite shoes.

She then put on her shoes to go out on the sand – which the royals usually refrain from doing.

For example, Kate Middleton visited Manly Beach in Sydney in 2014, but kept her shoes all the time.

Similarly, in 1983, Princess Diana went to a beach in Terrigal, but did not dare to take off her shoes.
