Coronavirus: Prince Charles Avoids Handshake (Video)

How coronavirus is changing royal etiquette: Queen is STILL shaking people's hands but Prince Charles has adopted a 'namaste' bow gesture while Camilla is wearing gloves (and Zara is doling out hugs)

*Prince Charles was at London Palladium for annual Prince's Trust Awards 2020
*The royal, 71, was seen greeting members of the charity and offering up his hand
*He quickly remembered the new rules on hygiene amid coronavirus fears and gave the Namaste gesture instead

With cases of coronavirus in the UK on the rise, members of the Royal Family are being advised to take precautions - but some are taking heed of the advice more than others.

Prince Charles was seen getting into a slight fluster as he met members of the Prince's Trust today. The royal, 71, who is following government instructions to avoid shaking hands in an effort to stop the spread of coronavirus, was pictured offering up his hand as he arrived at the London Palladium for the annual Prince's Trust Awards 2020.
