Britain’s royal family avoided handshakes Monday amid the coronavirus scare — with Prince Charles making Namaste-style prayer signs instead.

The 71-year-old heir to the throne was filmed making the prayer sign with his hands, gently bowing his head in a respectful gesture as he greeted guests at Monday’s Commonwealth Day service in Westminster Abbey.

“Look closely and you can see the Prince of Wales declining to shake hands this afternoon but is doing the traditional Namaste,” a commentator noted during the BBC’s live feed, saying it was over “the fears of the coronavirus, of course.”

Prince Harry and wife, Meghan Markle — making their final official engagement as senior royals — joined the other royals in keeping their hands to themselves as they greeted dignitaries.

Queen Elizabeth II — who previously wore gloves while handing out awards — stayed a few feet away as she greeted guests amid the outbreak that has seen more than 320 confirmed cases in the UK.

None of those awaiting the royals — including UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson — seemed surprised by the lack of contact, keeping their own hands clutched together rather than seeking contact.

“It’s clear the message has gone out that there should be no handshakes,” the BBC commentator noted.
