Many pointed out that the Duchess of Cornwall also appeared to be kissing her stepson, the Duke of Cambridge.
There have also been discussions about why the couples didn’t kiss, with some suggesting it could be Covid-19 precautions and others speculating it could be due to the two women’s wide hats.
