Those Brit royals should count themselves lucky they didn’t get the guillotine like the French royals. They deserved it no less.

If it had been me, I would have given her a hug and a kiss on her cheek.

Then of course shook her hubby’s hand along with a pat on his back.

Unless I slept for 24 hours straight, Tuesday night hasn’t happened yet. Does the author mean the game was Monday?

The wife of the deceased doesn’t see racism, but this rich entitled moron does.

Here is an article about how these rich athletes are getting away with not paying the tax rate we do. Dems call this unequal treatment. I say guys in short pants should shut up if they don’t know the facts before they speak.

Shut up ad don’t let us pay your share of the taxes.

I physically bumped into Prince Charles in 1977 in Houston. My only involvement with “royalty”.

They’re not our royal family. Protocol be damned, they’re just like everyone else when they visit this country.

I seriously doubt royal protocol was taught in LeBron’s schools growing up.

LOL
Actually St Vincent-St Mary is a pretty good hs.
We used to play them in sports.
When LeBron was on the football team we kicked his butt, but he was only a puny freshman.

I remember years ago — an American celebrity was meeting Queen Elizabeth, and to calm herself down, she reminded herself that the queen went to the bathroom just the same as we all do. A little crass, but -— true.

Huh. Somehow this reminds me of the conversation between Little Bill and English Bob. We don’t really care about what royalty means here.

Sorry, but when you visit our country you’re in Rome.

Few Americans seem to care, but it gripes me when the address foreign nobles by their titles. We’re Americans and republicans. I don’t recognize titles of nobility.

I’d make an exception for members of royal families, as they are heads of state and their families.

I admire Christopher Monckton, but as far as I’m concerned, he’s Chris Monckton, not The Right Honourable The Viscount Monckton of Brenchley.

As stated, this seems to be a fairly rare pet peeve.

I think it is ludicrous for people to come to this country and expect Americans to be fully posted on all the silly rules of precedent and such they use in their country. If I go over there, I’d do my best to follow their rules. If they cone here, they should expect to do the same.

If the meeting is in the US, then Kate is just Kate, not royalty. Lucky LeBron.
