Kate Middleton was awkwardly left hanging during a handshake attempt with this year’s runner-up at the BBC’s Sports Personality Of The Year Awards, Jessica Ennis. This was also Middleton’s first public appearance since being hospitalised with severe morning sickness two weeks ago.
Ennis – the British heptathlon hero from this summer’s London Olympics – was receiving the award from the Duchess of Cambridge on Sunday night when she appeared to ignore Middleton’s outstretched hand of congratulations.
The incident sparked thousands of tweets immediately afterwards, with many speculating about whether or not she did it on purpose.
Have a look at the footage below. Do you think she deliberately ignored Middleton? Or did she simply have her hands full with the trophy and couldn’t see Kate offering her hand?
