Queen Consort greets Paul O'Grady with warm hug and kiss days after Meghan Markle's 'jarring' affection claim

Camilla, The Queen Consort makes an appearance in the newest episode of Paul O Grady: For The Love of Dogs, which airs on Monday, December 19. In the special hour-long edition of the popular ITV show, Battersea Dog's Home celebrates its 160th anniversary, and Paul and the senior Royal sit down to discuss why she's a patron of the charity.

Contrasting Meghan Markle's recent comments on royal attitude to affection, Paul and The Queen Consort greet each other with a hug and a kiss. In the Netflix docu-series, Harry & Meghan, the Duchess of Sussex said: "I was a hugger. I didn't realise that that is really jarring for a lot of Brits."

Speaking to the Daily Mail's Richard Eden about this, Paul said: “Camilla’s a really funny woman — you can have a great laugh with her and you don’t feel like you’re on ceremony. I always get a big hug and kiss from her, too, which always shocks everybody.”
