My kid sisters are in their 50's. One was a border patrol agent, and one is half crazy (and thankfully on a whole host of medications). The third one talks more like a sailer than I do. Anything I say can be considered safe for my sisters considering we all act like we have Tourettes Syndrome...

Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Bloody hell. How big do you think his Mr one eye is that he's in danger of hitting his chin with it?

Apparently some Brits are unhappy that LeBron broke protocol and put his arms around Kate when they met with him yesterday. Well, he is LeBron James - he makes his own protocols!
I thought it funny that people worry over things like that.

Well, now you know what to do if you happen to pose for a photo with British royalty.

You don't need to know, so you weren't informed.
The wanker in question did need to know, so his "peeps" informed him ... that he could get a lot of publicity by acting like a wanker.

I'd willingly take 60 millions Brits in exchange for a (former) Prime Minister that pulls pranks on the Prime Minister of another country (a too big and too near one and with a known record of belligerancy plus a lot of (t)reasons to hate mine).

When visiting other countries, expect the local protocol to be followed.

Some "white" brits didn't like a black guy putting his arm around "their" white woman.
I had to go there.

Well, as a brown guy I didn't want to intrude into your white-black joke territory.

Well, as a white Yankee, I don't really care who put their arm around Kate. She is hot, and seems like a nice person. Best of luck to the royal family.

Well, I am not sure you'd be popular in England with that kinda talk

I'm not sure I am popular here in America, whether I talk or not.

Not sure where the 'some Brits are unhappy' part comes from. I'm sure there are some Royalist nuts that are, but there are a lot of Americans Royalist too that I assume will be equally unhappy. It's an antiquated protocol anyway so I don't think most people care.
I searched this story, as I hadn't heard it or even know who LeBron was till I see your post and the British Press seem to be reporting Kates awkwardness[^], but I see no outrage from the press and if there was any it would definitely be them orchestrating it.
