What's so wrong with them getting treated like the ordinary guy? What's wrong with them also treating our Vice - President, or their family members, or our Diplomats as "ordinary guys"??
Diplomatic Immunity goes both ways..
Do you approve of the idea that our government representatives (and their family members)such as Diplomatic Couriers carrying classified information can be summarilly searched, arrested, held without bond, representation, or contact with the American consulate?
Do you wish our Diplomats to be summarilly executed in some foreign country for "American War Crimes"??
I am not being extreme here..
There are bona fide reasons that sovereign nations have agreements concerning diplomatic immunity, and who has it..
American authorities are required to show as much respect for the law under which those treaties and agreements were signed, as those nations do for our own diplomatic officials..

Is the prince of Spain even the leader of that country in modern times? Don't they use a Parliment like England? Most of these countries are no longer ruled by kings and queens --- they're just fluff that the Europeans keep around for the most part and how are any of us supposed to keep track of all of them?

Wasn't there also a Congressman from Michigan who had to go through the airport screening process --- remove his shoes or pants but I didn't hear that he made any fuss about it.

You're beating a dead horse, dude.
No matter who or where or when, diplomatic immunity works (except in sandmaggot countries)
if the established protocol is followed.
It's not rocket science. The royal support entourage screwed up. End of story.
Your "examples" are all ludicrous. I pray that you have no role in any official diplomatic activities for our country!
