Michelle Obama Hugs Queen Elizabeth, Stirs Controversy (PHOTO, POLL, VIDEO)

Much is being made of Michelle Obama and Queen Elizabeth's embrace.

Royal etiquette dictates that the Queen not be touched unless she reaches out first. Back-patting, however, is an almost unprecedented gesture in Buckingham Palace.

But did the Queen like it?
