Queen Camilla awkwardly snubs France’s first lady Brigitte Macron’s attempt to hold her hand

On Thursday, Queen Camilla had an awkward moment with French first lady Brigitte Macron.

The royal, 76, was with Macron, 71, for an event commemorating D-Day, marking the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings in Normandy, France. Their husbands, King Charles, 75, and President Emmanuel Macron, 46, were also present.

The president’s wife reached out and attempted to hold Camilla’s hand for a sweet and solemn moment after the two women laid wreaths at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer.

Why would she hold hands with another man??? Quite inappropriate..

[alrogers]

I wouldn't want some random man in a dress to grab my hand either!

[mazzettoful]

Mrs Macron is behaving strangely. Why is сhe looking for a hand to hold?

[debbiejames]

Why would anyone think it is acceptable to try and hold the queens hand at such a solemn moment???

[RobinaB]

Charles, on the other hand, gnawed on Brigitte's knuckles when he was leering at her.

[fabolousjada]

Prince Charles never kissed her hand ( macron) let that sink in he kisses all women hands

[Ronna-]

It’s actually a breach of royal protocol to reach out to touch a royal when they have not initiated contact first. Even then the contact should be brief. Queen Camilla was just following royal protocol. That being said, perhaps she should have broken protocol to avoid the massively awkward moment.

Camilla doing the cruel to be kind number, yea wicked !

[petalblossom]

She's got a lotta nerve as the side chick who no one accepts as queen

[inanna]

Ce moment de déstabilisation où elle perd un sein, c'est pourquoi elle reste plus longtemps baissée avec la fleur et le besoin de se rattraper dans la panique

[tampa.]

Kamilla doesn't want to give her hand

[drea]

Wow that's downright rude. She was already looking in that general direction unless she for some reason had her eyes closed. But one would think the time to close ones eyes in respect would be after the other person is standing next to you

She also makes no move at all to move towards her, her arm remains completely motionless even after she's been touched

On top of that, once they're both done and standing still she turns away almost immediately, as of in a hurry to leave

Edit: I suppose Queen Elizabeth II was not supposed to be touched either, unless she reached out herself. So, maybe the first things I said may not be right. But my last point still stands and she's still rude

[harley_arrow]

Maybe she was following protocol...as royalty aren't allowed to touch other than a simple handshake

[drpreatorius]

It is time for UK voters to get a choice. Those people who want to support the monarchy can opt into a special tax. Those who want to opt out can keep their money in their pocket to support their families.

[pollyester]

No one holds hands at the senotaph. This is same environment to Camilla, see how she nods her head, it’s a formal occasion not two little girls going out to play. Fgs.. I would have said get off if someone had done that to me. I think the French woman wanted a photo op - imagine the head lines if pulled off. They get on well it’s no snub.

[larasdvatri]

Не пристало ей с каким-то мужиком в парике за ручки держаться )

[TiffanyMorris-ecgm]

Camilla is so rude Princess Diana was a queen and Princess

[drp]

Diana would have held her hand. Harry would have done so. Charles was smacking that hand!

[Runaway]

We al bel shocked by a stranger trying to hold our hands. Camille needs to nag Charles he needs to slow down and let his meds work. Doctors could step in and make him rest.william and Camille could do events together.

[Miskikine]

You would think that on a day of showing unity, Camilla could have taken upon herself to touch another human hand ..
