The Empty Hands of the Royals

You may notice that Meghan Markel and Prince Harry are never photographed with their cell phones out. This habit goes beyond good etiquette. All royals avoid being seen with cell or phone gadgets in their hands when conducting their royal duties, as technically they are working, and just like any good business professionals, they opt to put them away during work hours.

By staying off their phones in public, Meghan and Harry also highlight and challenge the growing issue of cell phone attachment. Mariek Vanden Abeele, Ph.D., a professor of information and communication science at Tilburg University in the Netherlands, and a specialist on the social impact of mobile devices, explained the impact and its psychological underpinnings to Thrive.“There’s a central paradox here,” Vanden Abeele explains. “Technology that is so social, so geared towards being in touch constantly, is also very disruptive to our in-person social contact. Online closeness comes at the expense of offline closeness,” she says.
