That is one firm handshake, Mr Prime Minister

It seems our Prime Minister Narendra Modi left quite an impression on Prince William during the royal couple’s visit to the Capital on April 12. Well, quite literally!

During a photo op with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge on the steps of Hyderabad House, the PM and Prince exchanged a long, and firm handshake for the mediapersons in audience. The whole event went off remarkably well, as such official events usually go — except for one teeny-tiny detail. A close-up of Prince William’s hand soon after the handshake shows an impression of the Prime Minister’s fingers on the former’s right hand.

Though, these agency photos show a hint of the impression of Modi’s fingers on the royal’s palm, EPA photos published by the Daily Mail give a much clearer view.

Now, we all know that a firm handshake is the mark of strong character, and these photographs seem to stand testimony to the adage.
