Well, I’m not an expert on royal protocol, but if the Queen touched Michelle first (in an unprecedented move on the Queen’s part, too), could it really have been that big of a faux pas?

In the days of old, when knights were bold, a knight apologized to the king. He said “Sir, i have accidently touched your Queen”. The King yelled, “i don’t care! Screw the Queen!”

And 40 men were trampled in the stampede, because in those days, the kings word was law!

What I want to know is who is shooting a phaser through that lady in the blue dress? Is it the Queen or is it MO?
