Surprising gesture by Brigitte Macron catches Queen Camilla off guard

Since Wednesday, one of the main topics in foreign media has been the 80th anniversary of the Allies landing in Normandy. On this occasion, leaders primarily from the United Kingdom and France participate in ceremonies commemorating these historic events.

On Thursday at Omaha Beach, where bloody battles took place in 1944, an international ceremony was held. King Charles III also attended the commemoration with Queen Camilla, Emmanuel, and Brigitte Macron. At one point, the wives of the British monarch and the French President had their unique moment. Indeed, the ladies were honoured with jointly laying flowers at the memorial commemorating the Allies' landing in Normandy. Nothing would be extraordinary in this, but the French First Lady made a surprising gesture. Brigitte broke protocol by deciding on exceptional closeness towards her companion. Of course, the cameras captured everything, and the video has already made it to TikTok. It shows Emmanuel's wife trying to hold Camilla's hand. The Queen neither reciprocates the gesture nor withdraws her hand and remains indifferent, causing Macron to give up the "affection."

This is the awkward moment Brigitte Macron broke Royal protocol during the D-Day memorial in Normandy, as she tried to hold Queen Camilla's hand - the video is captioned.

Judging by the comments of internet users, most do not see anything inappropriate in Macron's gesture.

I think it's quite sweet; British protocol, not French; It's no big deal; She was so stressed that she just needed support; It wasn't awkward at all - reads the comments.

Watch the video. What do you think about Brigitte's behavior?
