The other night I watched a program about Majesty. We saw the 6 original ladies in waiting from the Queens Coronation having a reunion with the Queen. They all curtsied when they shook hands with HM but 3 of them also kissed her cheek. Were they possibly related to her in some way that the other 3 were not? Why not all get a kiss?

what do you look for?

I would go with In A Pickle's logic on this.

It is possible that in the intervening years, some of the ladies may have stayed in close touch with Her Maj., and others may have maintained more formal links, and that would dicatate the decorum of kissing the royal visage.
