Prince Charles: The Kissing Prince


Hand-kissing is a dying art form. However, based on these photos, Prince Charles is doing his best to keep the chivalrous social gesture alive and well.

Charles kisses Diana’s hand on the balcony of Buckingham Palace on their wedding day.

Charles smooches Diana’s hand as they pose for the press during their honeymoon at Balmoral Castle. According to several sources, the photo session almost didn’t happen: Charles and Diana had a blazing argument right before, and Diana initially refused to take part.

Charles and Diana are affectionate as they watch the 1982 Braemar Games in Scotland.

Charles welcomes Carla Bruni to the U.K. during a 2008 state visit by then French president Nicolas Sarkozy.
