King Charles III's recent meeting with the West Indies cricket team at Buckingham Palace has garnered attention for an unusual handshake exchange. During the meeting, Charles greeted the players ahead of their first Test match against England at Lord's. While expressing his concern for those affected by Hurricane Beryl in the Caribbean, he also engaged in a unique handshake with West Indies player Jeremiah Louis.
The handshake, which has since gone viral on social media, involves a series of intricate steps. Louis first extends his hand, which Charles takes. Louis then rotates his hand clockwise, while Charles follows suit. The handshake concludes with a firm grip and a brief shake.
The internet has reacted with amusement and intrigue to the handshake. Some have praised its originality, while others have speculated about its significance. Some have even suggested that it could become a new diplomatic protocol.
Beyond the handshake, the meeting also highlighted the upcoming three-match Test series between England and the West Indies, starting July 10th. The opening match at Lord's will mark the retirement Test for legendary English bowler James Anderson. Anderson, who has taken 700 Test wickets, aims to end his red-ball career on a high note.
The meeting between King Charles III and the West Indies cricket team has generated both laughter and anticipation. The unique handshake has become a talking point, while the upcoming Test series promises to be a thrilling contest.
