Did Michelle Obama Break Protocol When She Touched the Queen
Did Michelle Obama Break Protocol When She Touched the Queen after Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II touched America’s first lady? Would it have been an insult to the Queen of England, if first Lady Michelle Obama did not return the touch?
Most Americans expected the First Lady of America to make headlines in Europe with her style, grace and fashion flair as she accompanied her husband to the Group of 20 Summit, but it was a simple gesture that has set off the media frenzy.
While meeting Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II in London on Wednesday, April 1st, 2009,the two women briefly embraced, not your typical scene at Buckingham Palace.
Well call me “Southern,” that is not what I call an embrace. An embrace is where you physically hug someone…two arms…not one, lightly behind the back.
The British media called it everything from a breach of protocol to an extraordinary show of affection from the Queen. BBAC has many UK readers. Perhaps, you can write in and let us know…”Did Michelle Obama Break Protocol When She Touched the Queen?” ***Watch the Video***

My mother was very English and they are not know for being very hugy and touchy at all they are known for being very proper.
The English feels that if you love someone you don’t have to show it in the street that is not necessary at all and if you have problems keep your dirty laundry in your house and don’t show it the streets that is the proper way.
Even the simplist hug is to much to show no matter where you are in public that shows to much affection. Even when you are the phone it is not necessary to express the person you are speaking with to say I Love You that is just not required.
When my darling Uncles were a live and they lived in the Panama and I would call them I would tell them I love you they would answer I do the same. It took me a very long time before they would say the words I love You back. FInally I told them if you don’t start saying that I won’t hang up from the conversation or I will never ever call you again. I really never meant it but it worked and they finally started saying I love you back but it took quite a long time but that is the way they are taught in England.
If you think about it when they show pictures in England and people are walking together you really don’t see a lot of hand holding they just don’t do it because they don’t think it is proper.
My mother really didn’t say a lot of I love you but we knew she did just by the way she was with us but I do wish that she would have said more but you get used to it and what is worse my father was Austrian and they are more war like people and I never heard him say that he loved us NEVER I guess he was to busy working and then he got sick and there was nothing from him at all. My mother was so busy working hard and taking care of my father we barely even had anytime for each other.
