The Duchess of Sussex said in her Netflix docuseries "Harry & Meghan," that premiered in December that she hugged the Prince and Princess of Wales the first time they came over for dinner. "Like I was a hugger, always been a hugger," she said. "I didn't realize that that is really?jarring?for a lot of Brits."

Meghan claimed she had originally thought the royals were formal just when in public but soon realized "that the formality on the outside carried through on the inside."

梅根稱，她最初以為王室成員只是在公共場合才會很正式，但很快意識到“外表的正式貫徹到內(nèi)心”。

Prince Harry also wrote about several instances in his memoir "Spare" that portrayed William and Kate as?aloof, including a visit to the Cambridges’ home shorty after his marriage to Meghan. He claimed Kate angrily told Meghan she was upset with her for talking about her hormones, saying she wasn't close enough to her to talk about that.

哈里王子還在他的回憶錄《備胎》中提到了幾個把威廉和凱特描繪成冷漠的例子，包括他和梅根結(jié)婚后不久去劍橋的家。他說，凱特生氣地告訴梅根，她對梅根談?wù)撍暮蔂柮筛械诫y受，說她和梅根還沒親密到可以討論這些。

"We all hugged. Kind of," he wrote.

“我們都在某種程度上被他人擁抱?！彼麑懙?。

Despite those claims, a friend of the princess told People magazine, "Kate's a big hugger. She is warm and friendly and greets everyone with a big hug and kiss. It comes naturally to her to be like that."

盡管有這些說法，但王妃的一位朋友告訴《人物》雜志，“凱特是個超級擁抱者。她熱情友好，對每個人都熱情擁抱和親吻。這對她來說是很自然的。”

The princess was also seen over the last few months?doling out?hugs while on her royal duties. She embraced a 2-year-old girl named Charlotte (like her own daughter), whom she met in Wales.

在過去的幾個月里，人們還看到這位王妃在履行王室職責時與人擁抱。她在威爾士擁抱了一個名叫夏洛特的兩歲女孩(和她女兒同名)。
