I saw it.  Everything about her screams "Victim!". Her haircut, her posture, her stance, the way she held out her hand for the handshake.

I think there's a whole lot of awkwardness going on.  They'll all figure it out over the next few months.  The show must go on.

 

Two photos.  One of her arriving to meet Queen Elizabeth II, and one of her shaking hands with King Charles III.

I think she should have just walked up and shook his hand.  This curtsy stuff went out with Henry VIII.

No it didn’t. It’s tradition and protocol. It would be ridiculous in America.

So? 

It was amazingly awkward. Too bad there was a cameraman there.

The new Prime Minister sort of reminds me of Winston Churchill.  They are built somewhat the same.  :rolleyes:

 

Sorry.  Sometimes these things just come ever me.

And she smokes cigars!

 

I may have made that up.

Is her voice double base?

I think I saw her flash a V sign. 
I could be wrong.

It is basically a more formal salute.

Yeah, that one was pretty awkward.

 

I wonder if the Queen did not require it? Because the one I posted, she seemed to do better. So maybe this one here was the first time she had ever done it anywhere.

No,
 

 

Considering this is in Great Britain, I didn’t see anything but tradition and politeness.  Seems to me the Prime Minister did fine.
