Amid growing coronavirus scare, people across the globe are avoiding handshakes to greet each other. They are now greeting in the traditional Indian way of ‘namaste’. A video of Prince Charles has surfaced today where he could be seen greeting people with a ‘namaste’ at the yearly Prince’s Trust Awards, which was held on Wednesday (March 11) at the London Palladium.

In the video, we see Prince Charles getting out of his vehicle and extending his hand to greet a person and then he quickly greeted with a namaste as a precautionary measure for Covid-19 (Coronavirus). This gesture has left us impressed. ABC News has posted the video and called the namaste a ‘prayer-like gesture’. This didn’t go well with Bollywood actress with Raveena Tandon and she bashed the channel with her tweet.
