In general, most Americans love to bow or courtesy to a British monarch,
but it was all over the newspapers when the Queen visited Australia and
the then-Prime Minister of Australia greeted her with a hug and a kiss
and called her "darlin'" instead of "Your Majesty".

LOL! Not *quite* what happened .... but a good story. Paul Keating touched the 
Queen in the small of her back, guiding her gently.  But the british press did 
have a field day. Apparently touching the queen is out. Who'd have thought it?
