Kate Middleton would therefore not have been as disrespectful as one might think: the princess is said to have simply met the king long before their public reunion at Westminster Abbey around 2:45 p.m. reports the English tabloids. We are therefore reassured. On the other hand, another scene questioned...

Indeed, during this family reunion and day of celebrations, Kate Middleton spoke with Camilla Parker Bowles . A scene that apparently annoyed her husband Charles, who simply tried to end their conversation before the start of the ceremony before reprimanding his wife. If no one knows the reasons for his annoyance, his serious face left little room for doubt as to his anger towards his wife.

Thoughts moved for Queen Elizabeth II
