Absolutely true, Brother Mr Mayor, Sir. I always wear gloves when meeting foreigners. You just don't know where their hands have been. Plus, there is the question of sweaty palms. Gloves impregnated with foul-smelling foreign sweat can quite easily be changed and the soiled ones incinerated, whereas it is unladylike and unhygienic to be forever wiping your hands on your evening dress.
You will notice that Prince Charles's wife does not even care! This is why the British are keen to keep the Queen alive - at least for the time being.
