I'm pretty sure your daughter would be the one putting her arm around James in a photo op. Americans are fascinated with celebrities and taking photos with them...

Maybe when Lebron visits them in the U.K then Lebron has to respect their culture and standards of not toughing the royals but the royals where in U.S. soil and they have to accept our traditions and standards, not the other way around.

Why does anyone care what this idiotic talking head has to say? CNN sent him packing for a reason.

Secondly, the "royal" princess or whatever her title is, is just another person over here. Ask King George what we think of the UK's "royalty"

My thought exactly.

I'm just trying to imagine a little upset conservative man trying to pull the arm off a 6'8" Lebron James...

Yet they seem to trash them every chance they get. British rags are famous for that.
