Prince Harry and Meghan Markle's intimate interaction during a recent red carpet appearance in Jamaica has gone viral, with fans praising the couple's "chemistry" on social media site, TikTok.
Harry and Meghan made an unannounced visit to Jamaica this month, where they attended the red carpet premiere of the Bob Marley: One Love biopic, starring Kingsley Ben-Adir and Lashana Lynch, on January 23.
The royal couple were photographed at the event posing for photographs alongside Paramount Studios and Nickelodeon CEO, Brian Robbins, and also Jamaica's Prime Minister Andrew Holness.
The event marked one of the most high-profile joint movie industry appearances made by Harry and Meghan since their move to the U.S. and professional transition into the entertainment business.
In 2020, the couple founded Archewell Productions, through which they have developed on-screen content with streaming partner Netflix, including their 2022 docuseries, Harry & Meghan. They have also stated a desire to move into non-scripted content, such as with a movie adaptation of the hit novel Meet Me at the Lake.
As well as red carpet images, a number of clips of the duke and duchess at the premiere taken by attendees, members of the press and staff at the Carib Theatre in Kingston, have also gone viral on social media.
Uploaded to TikTok by user, meghmarkle, on January 24, a clip of Meghan and Harry engaged in a touching public display of affection has been viewed over 160,000 times on the social media platform so far.

In the footage, Meghan and Harry are filmed talking to fellow attendees while the duchess placed a hand on her husband's chest before taking his hand in hers.
The clip has received in excess of 5,000 likes and over 180 comments, many of which have praised the couple and their easy interactions in public.
"She reached for his hand and he knew so he reached out too," wrote one user.
"Love this for them! They have so much chemistry together," posted another, with a further comment reading: "She's so classy and beautiful."
Meghan's appearance on the night has won praise not just from fans, but also from fashion commentators too.
For the premiere, the duchess wore a statement black Carolina Herrera skirt with a simple black top with spaghetti straps, accessorized with gold and diamond jewelry.
Speaking about the look, royal fashion expert Christine Ross previously told Newsweek that Meghan achieved a "great balance of red carpet glamor and the relaxed atmosphere of the premiere."
"A simple, strappy tank top paired with a voluminous ballgown skirt and slicked back, simple hair is reminiscent of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's timeless style, and we know that Meghan has admired her classic aesthetic for years."
