 The British monarchy is being criticized for living in the past after Queen Camilla and Brigitte Macron were caught in an awkward exchange.

On Thursday, June 6, during the UK Ministry of Defense and the Royal British Legion’s commemorative event at the British Normandy Memorial in honor of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, French President Emmanuel Macron's wife, Brigitte Macron, broke traditional royal protocol when she attempted to hold Queen Camilla's hand.

The pair—both dressed in all-white—just finished placing ceremonial wreaths at the British Normandy Memorial at Ver-sur-Mer when the First Lady of France reached for Camilla's hand. At one point, Macron even looked down to make sure she was actually touching Camilla or that Camilla was close enough to be made aware of the gesture.

The Queen, however, kept her arms at her side and appeared to even move away from the First Lady. Eventually, Macron gave up on creating a touching moment between the two and similarly let her arms rest at her side.

The two then stood side-by-side in silence facing the memorial wall, before returning to their husbands, King Charles and President Macron.
