We just don't give up the tiaras. After all, that's how queens are distinguished.
True royalty is no longer defined by compliance with outdated rules of protocol, much less by meticulous rules of table etiquette. True royalty is defined by authenticity. It's not being afraid to leave a red lipstick mark on your glass, to get your fingers dirty with the salt on your french fries. It's eating the most appetizing dish on the menu and adding an extra dollop of ketchup. We just don't give up the tiaras. After all, that's how queens are distinguished. Directed by Gloria Alafarga.
