Queen Camilla was spotted greeting many of her friends over the weekend at the Queen's Reading Room Literary Festival on Sunday.
These friends included Dame Joanne Lumley, Dame Judi Dench and Gyles Brandreth, who all proceeded to curtsy and bow to the royal.
However as Camilla has a close relationship with all three of them, she appeared to halt their official greeting with a quick kiss to each of their cheeks.
Professional body language expert Judi James explained why the Queen chose to do this and why she appeared to have some "awkwardness" in her behaviour, the Express reports.
She explained: "Greeting rituals, especially royal ones, need an element of etiquette rules about them to avoid this kind of awkwardness.
"Presumably these actor/performer friends of Camilla have offered support and warmth in the past and she seems keen to keep relations at that same level.
"But now she is Queen there needs to be a proper decision about whether the rituals get an upgrade or not."
According to Ms James, Camilla would like to keep her social interactions among friends the same as they were before she became Queen.
She claimed: "Camilla’s body language here seems to suggest she would prefer no upgrading with her friends as she doesn’t seem to offer scope for the kind of bobbing curtseys or head-bows that are being performed.
"She also seems to want to do the kind of ‘closeness grading’ rituals she might have done before she became Queen, where friends get the informal cheek kiss and other people get a handshake.
"This is not really an option for a Queen though, as it leaves guests or hosts feeling awkward and it also seems to alienate anyone not in the ‘inner circle’."
The expert opined that Camilla instead should be fully transparent about
