Quote:

But the protocol concerning the sovereign has been set in stone for generations. 'Whatever you do,' courtiers are apt to warn, 'don't touch the Queen.





They're spinning ("they" also includes the fawning press that loves Odumba). What the fuck else are they going to do? Insult the United States by pointing out the Obamas are socially awkward ghetto trash?

Of course the Queen touched Michelle back to spare her embarrassment. There are all sorts of stories about people making faux pas (not as bad as this) around the Queen where she then repeats the person's blunder to make the person feel at ease. It's part of how some people define social grace.
