There's a very good reason… May 31, 2019 - 10:23 BST Ainhoa Barcelona All eyes will be on President Trump and First Lady Melania when they arrive in the UK for their state visit next week. The couple will be given a ceremonial welcome in the Buckingham Palace gardens by the Queen, Prince Charles and Camilla on Monday morning.
Last summer during their official visit, the President and his wife greeted the Queen with a handshake. According to the royal family's official website, there are, in fact, "no obligatory codes of behaviour when meeting the Queen or a member of the royal family, but many people wish to observe the traditional forms". The guideline notes: "For men this is a neck bow whilst women do a small curtsy. Other people prefer simply to shake hands in the usual way.
In July 2017, when King Felipe and Queen Letizia of Spain met the Queen and Prince Philip during their state visit, Letizia also opted for a handshake – as the monarch outstretched her hand to greet her as she stepped out of the car. In fact, this time it was Felipe who caused a stir, choosing to kiss the Queen on the cheek, then on the hand.
