VIDEO: Iranian paralympic medalist Mehrdad Karam Zadeh refuses to shake hands with Duchess of Cambridge Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton was the official who congratulated and awarded the British discus shooter gold medalist Aled Davies at the 2012 Paralympics in London. Furthermore also the Iranian athlete Mehrdad Karam Zadeh was honored by the Duchess of Cambridge but refused to shake hands with her, apparently because of religious aspects. Anyway the Royal seemed to have been aware about the Islamic habits.

Both the British athlete as well as the bronze winner Wand Lezheng shook Princess’s hands after she handed them over the medals, but the Iranian athlete avoided coming into contact with Kate Middleton, wrapping his hands behind his back.

Duchess spokesman claims that she had been informed about this possibility:

“Many men, athletes from Islamic countries, are not used to shake hands with women whom they are not related to because of cultural and religious reasons.
