Queen Camilla 'leaves guests feeling awkward' with 'chaotic' break of protocol
Queen Camilla was spotted greeting many of her friends over the weekend at the Queen's Reading Room Literary Festival on Sunday.
Professional body language expert Judi James explained why the Queen chose to do this and why she appeared to have some "awkwardness" in her behaviour, the Express reports. "But now she is Queen there needs to be a proper decision about whether the rituals get an upgrade or not." "She also seems to want to do the kind of ‘closeness grading’ rituals she might have done before she became Queen, where friends get the informal cheek kiss and other people get a handshake.
She explained: "Camilla, as Queen, should be using announcement gestures to show clearly what her preferred intention is, plus some prior notes to anyone she now plans to meet, so they can be ready to reciprocate. "As she approaches Judi Dench this mix of desires to be both Queen but also a friend causes more confusion as her hand is raised for a cheek kiss and she is already talking to Judi, who then has to bob in a curtsey before putting both hands up for a cheek kiss.
