Did the Queen diss Camilla in front of two billion viewers? [Video]

Two Snipe* readers got married today — and it was quite exciting, it was all over the the telly.

But out of the hours and hours of video, two things stuck out in our royal watching. The first is in the video below. We can’t be sure, but it looks like the Queen shook off a greeting from the former Mrs. Camilla Parker Bowles.


Charles, Prince of Wales, leans in and gives his mum a kiss. Then his wife Camilla leans in — and, it seems to us, the Queen shakes her head ‘No!.’ leaving Camilla hanging. She eventually pulls off a curtsey. Pretty cold stuff, if true.

The second is Princess Beatrice’s hat. Here’s an awesome Tumblr devoted to it.

* They MIGHT be Snipe readers. They fit our psychographics and live about a ten minute walk from Snipe Fake HQ. It could happen.
