(Associated Press) When King James touched the future queen of England on the shoulder after a basketball game, royal watchers cried foul.
LeBron James, whose nickname is “King James,” met Prince William and his wife Kate at an NBA game between Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets in New York on Monday. The three posed for a photograph and James put his right hand on the Duchess of Cambridge’s right shoulder.
According to protocol in Britain, a commoner is not supposed to touch members of the royal family — even if it is an innocent gesture.
