Awkward moment Hancock attempts elbow bump with Charles

An awkward moment between Prince Charles and Matt Hancock has been caught on camera during a visit to Chelsea and Westminster Hospital in London.

The Prince of Wales greeted the health secretary with a namaste, but Mr Hancock attempted an elbow bump, leading the royal to joke that it was like doing the “hokey cokey”.

While at the hospital, Charles personally asked to meet some of the paramedics and ambulance crew on the receiving end of the attacks.

Charles shared his shock after speaking to the NHS workers, saying: “You can’t believe it, can you?

“When I think of what it has been like for so long, and how many people have been lucky enough to have wonderful paramedics and ambulance staff coming to their rescue.

“But now you find the situation rising – violence, attacks, verbal attacks, racial abuse and everything else.

“To me it’s unreal, unacceptable. Why attack the people who are trying to look after you?”
