I don't think snubbing the Israeli PM would be advisable.

Pence knew the look, and understood he shouldn't even reach out his hand.

Pence's body language says so much about how he sees himself.

If you look just as the Prince goes by him, you can see him awkwardly pull his hand back, and then let it drop to his side.

It was Prince Charles who told George Harrison and Jeff Lynne to start their own band. He even suggested the name The Traveling Wilburys. It was when they were playing one of those Prince's Trust concerts with the Monty Python gang.

He's really not a bad guy, just a lousy husband.

Notice how the Prince didn't flip the bird right in Pence's face? That's called "decorum."

Pence gave him a pat on the back, which, if I'm not mistaken, is one of the biggest possible breaches of protocol with regard to the royal family.

Wow.

That was no mistake and there is no mistaking what happened.

Members of the royal family aren’t supposed to get the least bit political. That was a big move by Prince Charles... basically like unfurling a banner saying “Eff You.”
