Canadian Official Touches Queen, Blames Carpet for Protocol Breach

in cananda •  7 years ago 

Canada's Governor General helped Britain's Queen Elizabeth down some stairs and ended up raising eyebrows, after touching the monarch's elbow, in defiance of royal protocol.

David Johnson, the Governor General said "I'm certainly conscious of the protocol, I was just anxious to be sure there was no stumbling on the steps."

And he explained further:
"It's a little bit awkward, that descent from Canada House to Trafalgar Square, and there was carpet that was a little slippy, and so I thought perhaps it was appropriate to breach protocol just to be sure that there was no stumble"

Oh god, it disgusts me that we still treat some people like they are better then everyone else. What did she do to earn being queen other then being a lucky sperm who found the egg?

Yeah, we still have some stupid traditions over here. Srsly...

Yeah! The Governor General did right thing, if she fall at that carpet there is no one to blame :D really stupid rules :D

She would be fine. Our Queen is built like a tank! She just won't die...
