Sir Hallam and the Duke

I always enjoy the scenes whenever Sir Hallam and the Duke of Kent talked about their families, political issues of the day, etc. But one thing that always bug me was how close the personal space and body language of the two whenever the Duke and Hallam gets together (see Episode 2.1 when the Duke asked Hallam to deliver a letter written by his brother to Hitler or Episode 2.2 when they shared martini at that club) .

I wonder if this implies that the two might have a relationship with each other, long before they're married to their respective spouses. It's clearly established that the Duke was at least bisexual, if not secretly gay (see his profile at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prince_George,_Duke_of_Kent#Personal_life ). And we know that one of his mates was definitely gay when he asked Johnny to have sex with him for money in the locker room on Episode 2.4 and Johnny gave him a punch in his nose instead .

Thus, I wonder if Sir Hallam and the Duke shared more than just a close friendship in their early life (perhaps during their Eton years)?? Unfortunately, we would never find out now that the show has been cancelled :-(.
