In contrast, a handshake is the most common greeting for commoners, and even Kate's children are expected to bow and curtsy to her. This incident follows Prince William and Kate Middleton breaking protocol earlier this year by mingling with the public and accepting unsanctioned food and drink, which is typically avoided to prevent potential poisoning attempts.
