Michelle Obama broke royal protocol to give the Queen a squeeze. Luckily, Her Majesty returned the warm gesture.
But that didn't stop a frenzy in the tabloids over 'The Hug'
clipped from www.nydailynews.comLONDON - Less than 24 hours after her protocol-breaking hug of Queen Elizabeth, Michelle Obama pulled up in front of the Elizabeth Garrett Anderson school for a surprise visit.
On her way to the school, her motorcade passed newsstands teeming with reports about The Hug.
The Daily Mail, for one, called it "an electrifying moment of palpable majesté: A breach of centuries-long protocol ..."
While generally approving, reports noted that protocol "has been set in stone for generations. 'Whatever you do,' courtiers are apt to warn, 'don't touch the queen.'"
It went on to recount the furor in 1992 when the Australian prime minister put his arm round the queen's and was quickly branded as "The Lizard of Oz."
But that was then and this is now - and Britons are simply mad about Michelle Obama.
