Not according to the Sky commentator who said that the PoW would kiss the King’s cheek before touching the crown, even while the PoW was touching the crown before kissing the King’s cheek.I wonder if the kiss on the cheek was a spur of the moment thing? I can see the hand on the crown being adhered to by all taking oath of allegianc, but I felt the kiss was an impromptu comforting gesture rather than scripted.
