The Daily Mail, for one, called it "an electrifying moment of palpable majesté: A breach of centuries-long protocol ..."While generally approving, reports noted that protocol "has been set in stone for generations. 'Whatever you do,' courtiers are apt to warn, 'don't touch the queen.'"
Instead of kissing her ring, she put her arm around her! Her Majesty’s jaw dropped. The Queen looked sightly overawed at first but quickly put on a dazzling smile so that Michelle wouldn’t be embarrassed. And after a few seconds she pulled away.The Queen seemed to be socked at how tall Michelle was and asked her how tall she was. When the Queen heard that she was over 6 feet tall she said “No wonder your so good at playing Basketball”
I don't get this. Doesn't the leader of the free world have toadies that research the "right" and "wrong" with world leaders? They should all have protocol speciailists. I would never dream of touching a monarch. Shamefully I shook Al Gore's hand once. That man has awful teeth for the record!
