Where's the Curtsey
I was finally able to access YouTube. I won't comment on the 'hug' . Body mechanics on both parts seemed awkward to me and the room was crowded. Not sure if it started as an embrace or an accident. But the Queen as always was gracious and kind.Actually what is bothering me was a SKYNEWS video showing President Obama and Michelle first entering the room to meet the Queen and DOE. The Queen has her hand extended. Michelle came in first (not the President) strode in like for a business meeting and vigorously shook HM hand and then the DOE. The President then came bowed and the took the Queen's hand. Then while the President and the Queen were talking Michelle makes a dip like "oh no I forgot to curtsey".I think Michelle was Very nervous. She also needs a more experienced White House etiquette and protocol staff.Nice to see the Queen reaching out and being kind to Michelle.
