Is someone ‘hitting/not hitting’ on your partner respectful?

Hitting on is flirting with, from what I know.
Stars have always taken the micky out of the royals.

The queen reportedly loved Spitting Image.

If you're someone like Alan Carr I guess you can get away with it because being a funny man is part of the act. What happens though if the next person copies this behaviour and you get someone like say Aidan Turner (Poldark) trying on the same thing to Kate? It's a slippery slope.

I thought 'hitting on' meant flirting with.

The joke was about himself not Kate.

I have seen a clip advertising the Royal Variety Performance 2021, Alan Carr made a joke regarding Kate. The camera does show them laughing but I don’t think it is very respectful towards our future King’s wife. Just because they are a relaxed couple they shouldn’t be taken avantage of.
