Twitter Reacts To Queen Camilla’s ‘Awkward’ Interaction With Black Child
By
Camilla, the Queen Consort of the United Kingdom, has sparked debate over her interaction with a young Black girl in a video widely circulating on social media.
On Thursday (November 24), Queen Camilla visited Barnardo’s Nursery in Bow to donate a number of Paddington Bear stuffed animals left in tribute to Queen Elizabeth II following her death in September, according to Newsbreak.
Press footage captured from the engagement shows the new Queen Consort meeting with children from the charity. One particular encounter with a Black child, however, has Twitter users debating whether Queen Camilla felt “awkward” interacting with the young girl due to her race.
In a short clip of their interaction, the royal appears to pick up the girl’s arm by the sleeve of her shirt rather than her wrist.
