Even today people don't see a King as equal, because so many are infatuated with Royalty and look on it admiringly.

Certainly, and it was visceral back in the day, but more for the religious than civil implications. Killing Charles I was wrong not for its act of regicide but for the deicide, as Chuckie was head of the church. (Under a pope, kings were expendable, but if the king represented God, uh oh.)

Washington's greatness was in distinguishing himself from royalty while accommodating the ingrained mindset. Most remarkable. GIII understood what Washington was up to, as well, and it must have scared the crap out of him.

Finally, remember that the American Revolution was an upper class revolution. It wouldn't have happened otherwise.
