The Queen & Michelle


Apparently all of Britain is atwitter over Michelle placing her hand on the Queen. How dare she touch the Queen!


This article from Time magazine had me laughing over the protocols of dealing with the British Monarchy and all of the subtle maneuverings that go with it.


I remember when Princess Di visited the US and we were all wondering if those who meet her should curtsy or not. And some American woman did and that was a faux pas. The reason being it is not in the American tradition to curtsy and therefore it could be construed as mockery.


Ah the intracacies of being a Royalty. How grand!
