Can anyone explain why these US announcers are using the honorifics reserved for British subjects? “Her Majesty” “Sir Paul McCartney”.

Didn’t we fight two wars against this crap?

Firstly, we arent subjects. Thats a myth, we havent been for many years.

Secondly, thats what they are. Saying so isnt kowtowing to the Limeys. You are reading far too much into it.
