Kate Middleton and Prince William seem to be making quite the case for a modern monarchy during their trip to Scotland, with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge breaking royal protocols not once but twice already!

According to Express UK, royal tradition states that members of the royal family should not be touched by commoners; however, on Wednesday, William not only hugged an elderly man in Glasgow, but also put his arm around a young fan to take a selfie with her.

During a visit to the Wheatley Group in Glasgow, the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met with royal fans.

While both Kate and William seemed to be in high spirits, they took the public gathered around by surprise when they stopped to take a selfie with a lucky girl in the crowd, with Prince William putting his arm around her shoulder for the snap.

This comes after it was reported that William embracing an older man was also out of character for a royal member.
