"Whenever I chuckle at the Nork military’s goofy hats, I forget about the Brit Honor Guards. Traditional but still odd."

Could be worse...

Americans do not stand for “God Save the Queen”.

We just don’t. At least, I never have despite many many months in the UK over many years.

It’s nothing personal. I love the UK.

It’s just that I owe it to the men of Valley Forge and Yorktown.

Not nice, Lurker. The Queen is gracious and exemplary in every way. And her mother was a Scot.

Yeh, a good chuckle for sure. But, regardless of attire both the Brits and Greeks have proven that they will fight....

She loves the position, the power, and the prestige concomitant with it, that is why she does not want to relinquish power to her despicable worthless son, but it is inevitable as her age shows more and more, as with all of us.

Even the French fight like banshees. But that uniform cracks me up. They should have gone back further to the Spartans. Now that would be pretty cool.

I kinda like the skirt — used to wear something similar in the ‘70s. The puffy shirt’s not bad, either. (For a girl.)

“Americans do not stand for ‘God Save the Queen’.”

And the brits, including the queen, don’t put their hands over their hearts for our national anthem. Protocol.

Tights, a skirt, knee garters with tassels AND a regulation tribble on the toe of each shoe. I assume the Garand is spotless inside and out!

Master at arms had no problem assigning Sargent of the Guard duties that day!!

Apparently we're supposed to bow, however...

Donald Trump immediately breaches royal protocol twice after meeting Queen US leader first fails to bow then walks in front of monarch, breaking with tradition

My Revolutionary War ancestors are smiling.

An American should bend neither neck nor knee to anyone on this Earth.

I think she’s just hoping Charles dies before she does so she doesn’t have to give him the crown.

That article is obviously written by someone not familiar with actual protocol. Heads of State do not bow to the queen.

What do you suppose the old gal has in that purse? Probably a crisp, folded handkerchief. Some decades old gum. And maybe a few doggy-doo bags for the royal corgis

Or, do you think our First Lady broke any protocols like Mooch Obama did?
