In the spring of 1965, 4-year-old John Kennedy Jr. was feeling overwhelmed at the dedication of the Runnymede Memorial to his father and instinctively grabbed Prince Philip's hand. It is against protocol for anyone to initiate physical contact with HRH. The Royal must offer his or her hand first. Prince Philip let the rules slide and squeezed back. I liked him for that.
I had never heard that story--how endearing!
