The royal couple are expected to visit the USA on December 7 and 8 and are rumoured to be meeting Jay-Z and Beyoncé at a basketball game. The Duke will then travel alone to Washington to attend an anti-corruption conference at the World Bank.
Palace
guidelines state that journalists should wear smart attire at all times
"out of respect" and warns that "casually dressed members of the media
will be turned away".
US journalists don't seem to be finding it funny though. Lol. See what they're saying after the cut..
New York magazine asked:
"Why should the United States' press corps — who barely bother to brush the muffin crumbs off their polo shirts before lobbing questions at the President of the United States — schlep extra pieces of clothing to work just so they can make small talk with a (perfectly nice-seeming) British air ambulance pilot-in-training and a former chain-store accessories buyer?"
Politico, a
site covering Washington politics, noted:
"Our much more refined brothers across the pond are apparently worried that the American press corps, with our pride of the haggard and ill-dressed journalists, won’t be appropriately attired when interacting with the royals."
That's needed. Nice move
ReplyDeleteThese Brits are so full of it...Americans are not your subjects. America is land of the free&home of the brave. We don't go bowing& kneeling before anyone. Stay in your country if our idea of being properly dressed doesn't meet yours!

ReplyDeleteSo they shudnt wear sneakers?
ReplyDeleteSmh, wonder wt will happen if men were God

ReplyDeleteOk o we hear.
ReplyDeleteLolzzz!!way forward.g789madu@gmail.com
ReplyDeleteNdi era! Mk dem dey do am to demselves
ReplyDeleteHmmmm!!
ReplyDeleteI don't see any justification for the dress code. The basic criteria should be that the US press appear neat, tidy and come across as being respectful. Besides they are going to America and you don't tell your host how to dress to welcome you.
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeleteSomeone is sticking to the Americans for onceLOL
ReplyDeleteThey should go and mess jor! If they cannot obey the simple rules, they shouldn't go na ni! Abi is it by force to be there?! Why are they pained?! They should call them whatever they like.. it does not change the fact that they are one of the most influential people in the world. Nonsense! Uncultured Americans!

ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful. Since they don't show respect to their own, they'll learn to respect other. It's either they comply or be ready to be sent away period. Since they think they are no respecter of person, let's see what happens.
ReplyDeleteDem britiah people dem funny ooooooo
ReplyDeleteThe fact that you disrespect your leader doesn't mean someone else will. So like the saying goes. "When in Rome --- ".
ReplyDeleteSips tea.

Well, dats y they r royalty
ReplyDeleteWinyluv@yahoo.com
What is hilarious about this?
ReplyDeleteLinda c'mon! What I find ridiculous is NewYork magazine's rude and tasteless remarks and description of the Royals. No be by force to cover them, if they r just mere commoners as they put them. No one cares how Americans treat their presidency but we Brits do mind how you treat our Monarchy- one of our oldest and most cherished legacies and institutions. Linda, I will leave you out of this for now, 'coz you have never really understood certain things. I will excuse your ignorance and crass mgbekeism.
ReplyDeleteSo you are British? Mgbekeism? Lmao! Am sure you won't defend Nigeria like this o, but you can kiss other people's ass! Rubbish!
DeleteAbi o. Royalty na Royalty.
ReplyDeleteDats Good!
ReplyDelete@jessyangels4love

ReplyDeleteAs far as I am concerned, this is not ridiculous. It is only a simple rule, you either adhere or ignore... #theyareroyals

ReplyDeleteHahahahaha!!! Another day, another story.
