I suppose he might have gotten a fright, but he did look quite grumpy. At the same time, that woman had no right grabbing his arm. Might have been painful.

I agree with BradfordLass 72
I have watched the clip again and it looks worse every time.

Not only did he angrily snatch his hand away, but he gave the woman a slap for good measure!

The purpose of the walkabout was to interact with people and probably most of them would want to take his hand.

It would not be possible for him to touch every hand in a crowd

That is true Anniebach. I know he has to be selective but I still think he over reacted.

If you look at the clip not just a photograph,he tried to take his
hand from her grip but she wouldn’t let go, he didn’t hit her he smacked her hand for her to release her grip.
