Hollywood is this country's version of royalty. Maybe even the presidency when it comes to nationalists.
I confess to being puzzled as to why USians have such strong feelings (for and against) the British monarchy.
Firstly, it’s not your country or your king, why do you even care? You’re not subject to it, you’re not paying for it - why does it matter so much?
Seriously??? You lecture here ad nauseum of how the USA should run our affairs. You constantly tell us what we are doing wrong. On guns. On civil rights. On Abortion. On environmental issues.
Secondly, there are scads of other hereditary monarchies in the world, but no Yanks seem to get themselves all twisted up over places like Spain or Norway or Jordan.
Again - seriously??? How about our countrymen didn' t have to fight a war with your King to get him out of our country? None of those other countries felt they owned us.
And for OLB specifically, of COURSE you as an American, wouldn’t be expected to call King Charles ‘your Highness’ (the proper form of address is ‘Your Majesty’).
He would be lucky to get a "Mister" from me.
Boru
If you meet him are you going to call the Pope "Your Holiness"???
Because he has exactly the same amount of "God given authority" as your king.
None.
