Queen Bitch 10,513 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Angela Merkel of Germany made an embarrassing gaffe on Wednesday when she attempted to fist-bump Denmark‘s Queen Margrethe II, but was left hanging by the royal. The German chancellor had rolled out the red carpet for Queen Margrethe’s arrival in Berlin, where she was accompanied by her son Crown Prince Fred. https://insiderpaper.com/video-merkels-failed-attempt-to-fist-bump-denmarks-queen-recorded/ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Economy 53,090 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I mean... it wasnt the worst gaffee. In pandemic handshakes are severely frowned upon so a pump even for politicians and ppl of high status is appropriate at a time like this... Perhaps for a Queen a pump is still not the most eloquent thing to do even in a pandemic but it wasnt totally weird that thats what came to Merkels mind to do Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

She was just doing it for the cameras and obviously it fell flat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oriane 22,995 Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I'm usually on the Queen's side, I think people are going to shake my hand, then there's an awkward pause as I realize they're actually trying to fist bump The only GGD member who can read / Credits to Celloo Deng for the profile pic!
