Princess Kate broke with protocol and moved the guests at the reception
Princess of Wales Kate Middleton broke royal protocol during an official reception at Buckingham Palace, but her gesture was warmly received by the guests.
The event was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth II’s birth.
During the reception, Kate hugged former police officer Tony Gladhill, who told her about the death of his wife after 67 years of marriage. Such a gesture violates protocol, which restricts physical contact with members of the royal family.

However, this move was described as sincere and humane. Experts note that the princess showed empathy and support, despite formal rules.

Kate also paid tribute to the late Queen by choosing a modest outfit with pearl jewelry.
