When the Royal couple, Prince William and Duchess Kate Middleton visited the United States, they took in a NBA game in Brooklyn in which the Cleveland Cavaliers took on the Brooklyn Nets and the had a nice meeting with the “King”, LeBron James.
Well, of course, some people across the pond had a little issue with how the meeting went.
Etiquette expert William Hanson said the following.
“Basketball player LeBron James may have scored a slam dunk for his photo album, but he put himself in danger of being struck off the royal Christmas card list by putting his arm around the Duchess of Cambridge.
Prince William and Kate posed with the star Cleveland Cavaliers player in New York yesterday after a game with the Brooklyn Nets, where they were presented with a shirt for Prince George.
But as the camera flashes went off, Mr James put his arm around the Duchess’ shoulder – a breach in etiquette, even though he is known as King James.
Mr Hanson added: ‘A shower would have been preferable but he had just finished a game – so even more reason for him not have opened his pits by lifting his arm and placing it around Her Royal Highness!”
Kate’s reaction is kind of that of an awkward moment. I mean why does he continue to leave his
arm around her, even when they stopped the picture session?
The world will never know.
