LeBron James breaks royal protocol with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge

              

The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met basketball star LeBron James in New York on Monday night after watching a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Barclays Center indoor arena. Prince William and the former Miss Middleton were also presented with NBA jerseys, including a small one for their young son, Prince George.

While posing for photographs, LeBron James appeared to surprise the Duchess of Cambridge by breaking royal protocol and placing his arm around her.

The breach of protocol echoed the time when Michelle Obama caused a stir by putting her arm around the Queen in 2009. The royals are on their first official trip to the US since 2011.
