Queen Camilla and King Charles III went to an event to remember D-Day. Queen Camilla did not want to hold hands with French First Lady Brigitte Macron. Some people thought it was rude, but others praised the Queen. This is not the first time royal rules were tested. Queen Elizabeth also broke a rule by putting her arm around Obama. This was a rare show of affection. The Queen usually follows strict rules. Obama wrote about this in her book. She said the Queen was okay with it. The event was to honor those who fought in D-Day. King Charles III talked about the bravery of the soldiers. He also mentioned his cancer diagnosis. Brigitte Macron tried to hold Queen Camilla's hand, but the Queen moved away slightly. This may have been a breach of formalities. The event went well despite this. The King and Queen greeted the French president and his wife warmly. They all smiled and talked to people at the event. The British Normandy Memorial remembers those who died in the war.
