Queen Camilla modifies royal protocol for more interaction
Queen Camilla has changed royal protocol in a way that reflects King Charles's style. Unlike the late Queen Elizabeth, it is now more acceptable for royal family members to touch and interact with the public. Body language expert Darren Stanton discussed this shift during an interview. He pointed out that Queen Camilla has become more engaging, particularly at events like the Cheltenham Festival. There, she showed strong eye contact and was very friendly with race-goers, a notable change from past royal behavior. Traditionally, royals, including Queen Elizabeth, avoided close physical contact. Stanton noted that Camilla is breaking from those old customs. She is carving out her own role as queen, which appears influenced by King Charles's more relaxed approach to royal duties. King Charles has also been more open with the public, enjoying photos and hugs with fans. This new dynamic suggests a move towards a more approachable royal family.
