Funny you should talk about being a Gentleman, Britians on the DM are not polite.

Often in the past I’d ask questions like “why does this Queen do this?” or “Why does the Queen do that” and I’d explain being an American we have not had Royality for over 200 years so we don’t know and just want to understand. They would rip my head off for just asking.

Please, at any time, feel free to ask me. As well as having some personal knowledge of the family, and the King, I am also very well educated in British and Commonwealth history, and British and Commonwealth constitutional law and convention. And I'm happy to try and answer questions on this. Nobody can be expected to be an expert on every subject, and certainly, people outside of the UK and Commonwealth have no real reason to understand these complex systems (a great many people within the UK and Commonwealth don't) and nobody should be made to feel bad for asking honest questions. As I've said, there are some questions I might not answer in detail, because - well, some things cross the line into gossip, more than anything else - but I'll do my best.
