An awkward moment captured on video at this morning’s World Holocaust Forum event in Israel has people saying Prince Charles snubbed Vice President Mike Pence:
Damn, Prince Charles did US Vice President @Mike_Pence dirty – he skipped shaking hands with him pic.twitter.com/hJlvf2gqoL

Watch for yourself:
I assume this was purely unintentional. Still kinda funny on an "international diplomatic incident" level. #PrinceCharles @VP pic.twitter.com/2d56Go7wHO

Except, this isn’t what happened:
Pence’s spokeswoman says the VP and the Second Lady spoke with Prince Charles for five minutes in the pre-program before they entered the hall.
After Pence spoke, he shook hands with Prince Charles, Macron, Putin and Netanyahu. Via pool reporter @AshleyRParker.

Does this look like a snub to you?
