NATALIE ALLEN, CNN ANCHOR: Sometimes a kiss is more than a kiss, at least that seems to be the case in Britain. CNN's Margaret Lowrie reports that lips kissing have tongues wagging there.</s>MARGARET LOWRIE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): Practice run perhaps? Here's another, a kiss with a curtsy for Queen Rania of Jordan. Now for the main event -- ah, the kiss. Let's see that again. The first public kiss between Prince Charles and long-time love Camilla Parker Bowles. A hardly-passionate peck on each cheek at a charity event she hosted.</s>UNIDENTIFIED MALE: Prince Charles kissed Camilla Parker Bowles in public for the first time this evening.</s>LOWRIE: Seen as enough of a public milestone to warrant TV and newspaper headlines. They "came out" as a couple in 1999 on the front steps of the Ritz, of course, at the time, the biggest royal news since the death of Princess Diana. Diana blamed Camilla Parker Bowles for the breakup of her marriage to Prince Charles. Now, nearly four years after Diana's death, polls show the public is more accepting of Charles and Camilla's relationship.</s>LINDA EDWARDS, NATL. OSTEOPOROSIS SOCIETY: I think she now feels that the time is perhaps right to risk a little bit more publicity so that it will benefit the charity, and I think she's wonderful to do that.</s>LOWRIE: The charity: Britain's Osteoporosis Society, close to Mrs. Parker Bowles' heart. Her mother suffered from the disease. Close friends and key members of the royal household were present at the charity event, said to be a sign of the increasing acceptance of Mrs. Parker Bowles' relationship with Prince Charles. The scion of the royal family was also pictured with Mrs. Parker Bowles' family leading to one other significant royal smooch, this one bestowed on Mrs. Parker Bowles' daughter.
