“An awkward royal moment left Queen Camilla visibly uneasy” 👑🔥 Kate Middleton, the First Lady, and one unexpected gesture turned heads during the state visit. See the photos behind the whispers in the article below 👇📸
The American president and his wife arrived in England for a state visit, where Queen Camilla unexpectedly found herself in an uncomfortable situation involving Kate Middleton.
Senior members of the royal family greeted the couple upon arrival. Kate Middleton and Prince William welcomed the American leader and his wife near the helicopter. The Princess of Wales, 43, looked elegant in a deep burgundy coat-dress with a matching hat. The First Lady, 55, opted for a charcoal gray skirt suit paired with a wide-brimmed lilac hat.
The guests were then escorted to Victoria House, where King Charles III and Queen Camilla awaited them. While the men engaged in conversation, the women exchanged polite remarks. At one point, Kate animatedly approached Melania, smiling and gesturing as she spoke.
Observers noticed Queen Camilla appearing uneasy as the conversation continued. Soon after, an awkward moment unfolded when Camilla signaled for Kate to step aside. Aware of royal protocol and the unspoken rules of palace etiquette, the princess immediately complied, ending the conversation and moving to stand behind her husband. The group was then divided into carriages bound for Windsor Castle.
The visit also sparked debate after the First Lady refrained from making a curtsy to the monarchs. Though some traditionalists criticized the gesture, royal protocol does not strictly require bows or curtsies. Some prefer these customary forms of greeting, while others simply exchange handshakes.
Adding to the attention, Donald Trump openly complimented Kate Middleton, calling her “so beautiful” as he shook her hand. After the greetings, King Charles and Queen Camilla hosted the couple for a private lunch, followed by a solemn wreath-laying ceremony at the tomb of Queen Elizabeth II in St. George’s Chapel. Nearly 200 musicians participated in the historic event, continuing a tradition dating back to the 17th century. This marked the second time the American president has visited the UK in an official capacity.
