Big kerfuffle about him touching the Duchess of Cambridge and a "little" lesson about bowing,etc. American citizens do not bow or curtsey. G Washington did not want anyone to bow to him. And lets all grow up. We are American citizens not Brits.

I don't know the details but I have to say that if I had the opportunity to meet royalty, I would decline. I'm an American, I don't bow or curtsy to anyone...ever. I don't even believe in the concept of royalty, it's ridiculous.

[Group 5 minus 1]

I would decline also.

Is this about LeBron James meeting the Royal Couple?

I'm surprised, in this day & age, we even still HAVE royalty. I don't get it. But don't get me wrong...I was allll about Lady Diana! But back then, BI (Before Internet!!), royalty was still "mystical"...like they were part of a "secret society". But today when they're on Twitter & hangin' with sweaty basketball players, there's nothing special about it.

Royalty and you're claim to fame is basically who you fell out of. No special skill set. Come to think about it....no special anything about these people. To their credit, they're pretty....Kate's an attractive girl, but I swear...William's looking more & more like his dad every day. Eeps!

Remember when a lady grabbed Queen Elizabeth and gave her a big hug during a visit to the US? Queenie took it in stride and didn't bat an eyelash. Americans are not expected to bow or curtsy to British royalty.

Fuss over nothing. Just an excuse for an anti-royalty rant.

[lovestopaint]

I totally agree Clover29

[bikerbabe]

Oh please. Enough with the ridiculous royal bashing. They seem like a nice couple. I would curtsy there's nothing wrong with it. And yes I am a proud American.

Do kate & Will appear in any way to be offended here? Just another huge todo about absolutely nothing.
