As long as its only when you first get her out and not a constant thing. No signs of bubbles or mucus around the mouth/nostrills?

yes, check for mucus in the nostrils and mouth because it could be a R.I (respiratory infection).

If there's nothing there it is just a warning and she should stop doing it when she gets more used to being handled.

how often are you handling her?

i handle my royal once or twice a week max for around 15 mins each time..

i NEVER handle him before a feed or for at least 48 hours after a feed.
