It’s a sign of our times that someone would rather be an “A” list celebrity than part of the Royal Family.
It is indeed! I read that Liza Minelli was riding a train in England, and she got out of her seat for some reason. When she returned, Lord something or other was sitting in her seat. She made a few attempts to get his attention and she finally told him that it was her seat. He didn't even look and said "Nobility only moves for royalty."
