TELLY star Elisabeth Hasselbeck is looking back on a memorable—and very awkward—run-in with Queen Elizabeth II.
During a recent appearance on The Weekend View, the former View cohost shared that she broke royal protocol while attending a White House state dinner hosted by former President George W. Bush.
Hasselbeck said she was so nervous meeting the late monarch that she accidentally went in for a hug, calling the moment awkward and admitting she had no idea what to do.
She also revealed another embarrassing mistake from the evening: accidentally sipping from a fingerbowl before being quietly corrected.
The TV personality laughed off the experience as a lesson in royal etiquette, joining a long list of public figures who have found themselves tripped up by the strict rules surrounding the British royal family.
The story resurfaced as Hasselbeck returned to The View for a guest cohosting stint, giving fans a candid and humorous look back at one of her most unforgettable celebrity encounters.
