Royal Protocols and Privileges: A Call for Respect

To those who, like @adamsosh, may not fully grasp the boundaries of politics or the importance of Royal Protocols and Privileges, allow me, as both a Prince and a citizen, to offer a friendly reminder. Public figures, especially those who occasionally cross the line, need to understand that Royal Communications and Advice are privileged matters—not to be publicly disclosed or debated. What is discussed during Royal Audience stays within the Palace, always.

It was unfortunate that HM Ewuare II, during a recent visit from the @OfficialAPCNg group, was placed in an awkward position, having to correct and clarify what was said in the Palace. Such situations are not only undignified but should never be tolerated. Our Kings are not chess pieces in the game of politics, and they should never be put in positions where they must defend themselves or their honor.

The Royal Fathers are not at the beck and call of politicians; they are the pillars of tradition, heritage, and dignity. Politics may come and go, but our traditional institutions stand the test of time. We must keep our Palaces separate from the political arena, as they represent something far greater: the remnants of our glorious past and a beacon for a promising future.

I understand that there have been unfortunate instances where some Royal Figures have mingled too closely with the corridors of power. However, this does not give anyone the right to disrespect or trample on the dignity of our true Nobility—our natural Kings, who symbolize the heritage we all share.

So, let all concerned show respect where it’s due.

Long live the Kings!
