Much like Queen Elizabeth, King Charles and Queen Camilla are expected to spend at least part of the summer on the Balmoral Estate in Scotland, with a friend of the couple telling Vanity Fair: "The house was always full of guests coming and going and Charles will be continuing that tradition.That is very important to him."

met for the first time during the monarch’s reign on Monday, and all eyes were on them.The politician, 80, encountered the 74-year-old sovereign at Windsor Castle, where many people believed that Biden breached protocol.Body language expert Judi James gave some insight into the pair’s gathering on the sweltering July day.When Biden’s car pulled up to the royal residence, Charles came out to welcome him with a handshake.When they both walked together up a few steps, Biden gently placed his hand on Charles. James explained to the US Sun that protocol dictates that one must never touch a member of the royal family unless they extend their hand first.“Biden’s forthcoming touch rituals might not have been offensive but they would have been unusual,” she said. “[He] treated the king as he might a cherished friend that he had not seen for a while.”The handshake the two shared involved “close torso proximity,” and, according to James, “this was performed inside what is known as the intimate zone of friendship.”Sometime later, when the men went to ceremoniously inspect the Guard of Honor, Biden was several paces in front of the sovereign.She went on: “The walking in front protocol is said to be based on hierarchy, meaning no one in the United Kingdom would walk in front of a king or queen.
