I don't mind how tactile they are with each other. It's rather charming to see IMO. I don't think it's excessive.

I think engagements like today show Meghan does have a lot to learn. Being an actress doesn’t equal being comfortable as a royal.
It was a good idea to get Meghan out and about before marriage to get her some experience. It’s still early days.
Not sure what you mean here. Meghan's fashion is one thing and we can agree to disagree on her style choices. But, in terms of interacting with the public and showing a genuine interest in the organizations they meet on engagements, I think she's killed it since day 1. Especially considering day 1 was literally 4 days after their engagement announcement.
The showing the ring off in the beginning is annoying, but I'm glad she's dressed appropriately (no torn jeans, logo T-shirt, flat shoes) and that she's not clinging to Harry for dear life, so points for improvement.

Also the very experienced royals make mistakes. That's very hard to be (completely) avoided.
What do you mean? I saw no showing of her ring. Is there another video?
Interesting, since I felt a certain tiredness (subdued energy) which may well be the case, given the recent flights to and from LA and then all the wedding preparations. So much pressure, especially on her. Cannot be easy. They need to have a pre-wedding vacation.
But then, it could also be because I am tired today. Ha! ? I am.
Why yes, actually, there were a number of videos. Here's the one I'm referring to for your elucidation. https://itnproductions.com/news/vid...s-a-ball-at-seated-volleyball-trials?type=raw
The moment she walks into the gymnasium she has that ring on parade.

I wouldn't say that it was Meghan flashing the ring but rather the photographer with the interest in the ring. If you watch the engagement video, the camera pans and tries to get close ups of the ring. Why? Because its of interest to the people watching the video. Everyone was curious about the engagement ring. The press gives the public what they want to see. That's a fact.
One thing we don't do here is throw snide remarks at other posters. We try and be respectful and courteous to each other and have discussions with people that have opposing points of view. I may disagree with what you say but I respect your right to your own opinion.
The camera was focused in her direction showing her entire body, it was not focused on the ring. She had her hand out, dangling it, which I found annoying.

I suspect Kate constantly using her left hand (with that huge ring on it) to touch her hair is her showing off her ring as well. Only royal I haven't seen using hand positions to show off her ring is Camilla.

Even Camilla does. Honestly most royal women likely flash their engagement ring, not on purpose. I know if I had a ring on, I likely would, as I often do things like adjusting my hair, with my left hand (even though right handed). If you look at photos of Camilla. Even the queen does. Often when you see her at racing events, she has her hand up next to her chin, and her engagement ring is flashing for all to see (or when she adjusts her glasses).
Exactly, they all do. I love when Max does it because I love her ring (and almost all of her bijou). Mathilde does it a lot, it looks really stiff and not graceful when she does it IMO. I think that's the thing, it has to be done with grace and finesse, not smacking you upside the head with it
The point is they are not doing it intentionally. They are simply using their left hand and their ring is on their left hand. Its not a deliberate attempt to flash the jewel to cameras.
