At a recent event commemorating the 80th anniversary of the D-Day Landings in Normandy, Queen Camilla experienced an awkward moment with French First Lady Brigitte Macron. While laying wreaths at a memorial, Brigitte reached out to hold Camilla's hand, but the Queen did not reciprocate the gesture. This led to a visibly uncomfortable moment as Brigitte quickly let go of Camilla's hand before bowing their heads in silence together. In contrast, King Charles III greeted Brigitte with a kiss on the hand, displaying a more casual approach to etiquette. The interaction, captured in a video published by the Daily Mail, highlighted the subtleties of royal protocol and the unexpected moments that can occur in such formal settings.
