LONDON - When King James touched the future queen of England on the shoulder after a basketball game, royal watchers cried foul.LeBron James, whose nickname is King James, met Prince William and his wife Kate at an NBA game between Cleveland Cavaliers and Brooklyn Nets in New York on Monday. The three posed for a photograph and James put his right hand on the Duchess of Cambridges right shoulder.According to protocol in Britain, a commoner is not supposed to touch members of the royal family — even if it is an innocent gesture.Photos of the meeting appeared throughout the British media, with many outlets highlighting the breach and pointing out James sweaty post-game shirt.He may be known as King James stateside but LeBron James raised more than a few eyebrows when he got up close with Kate, still dressed in a soggy sweater, the Daily Mirror wrote.Kate, who is five months pregnant with the couples second child, stood between James and her husband and smiled for the cameras, but the Independent newspaper said she appeared somewhat awkward as photographers snapped away merrily.The official website of the British Monarchy says there are no obligatory codes of behaviour for meeting a member of the royal family, but many people wish to observe the traditional forms.For men this is a neck bow (from the head only) whilst women do a small curtsy, the website says.In 2009, the British media criticized another American breach of the no-touch rule when Michelle Obama put her arm on Queen Elizabeth IIs back at Buckingham Palace.William, who is the grandson of the queen and second in line to the throne after his father, Prince Charles, was on a three-day visit to the United States with Kate.During the meeting with James, the American player presented the royals with two Cleveland jerseys. One was yellow and had the name Cambridge on the back with the No. 7 under it, and the other was red and much smaller with George printed over the No. 1 for their 1-year-old son, Prince George.

The 25-year-old McIlroy, who is from Northern Ireland, was eligible to play for either Ireland or Team GB when golf makes its return to the Olympics in Brazil for the first time since 1904. Having played all of his amateur golf under the auspices of the Dublin-based Golfing Union of Ireland, the two-time major winner opted to stay with Ireland for the Olympics. "I have been thinking about the decision a lot and remembered all the times I represented Ireland as an amateur," McIlroy said on the eve of the Irish Open in Cork. "I was always very proud to put on the Irish uniform and play as an amateur and as a boy, and I would be very proud to do it again." McIlroy has twice played in golfs World Cup for Ireland, both times alongside fellow Northern Irishman Graeme McDowell. "Just because Im getting paid to play this great game now doesnt mean I should change (team)," McIlroy said. "So Im very happy with my decision. It means I can look forward to the Olympics in a couple of years time -- you know, if I qualify, obviously, for the team. "I just thought it was the right thing to do. It was the right time to let everyone know. Now Im really looking forward to Rio in 16." McIlroy announced his decision ahead of next months International Golf Federation meeting that will finalize the eligibility criteria for the 2016 and 2020 Olympics.dddddddddddd "Theres no point in delaying it and letting it linger any longer," he said. "Watching the World Cup in Brazil, thinking about Brazil in a couple of years time, it just sort of got me thinking, maybe I should just go ahead and get it out of the way." Still, McIlroy said, winning an Olympic medal would not match winning a major championship. "The majors in our sport are the biggest and best prizes in the game," he said. "But as hopefully golf grows in the Olympics and becomes, say, bigger in four or five games down the line, then it might become bigger." Citizens of Northern Ireland, which is part of the United Kingdom, can hold both British and Irish citizenship. Most of the Protestant majority is British, most of its Catholic minority Irish. McIlroy, while raised a Catholic, grew up in the predominantly Protestant town of Holywood east of Belfast and once said he considered himself more British than Irish. His 2012 comments -- suggesting he might prefer to join the British team -- provoked strong ill feelings from Irish golf fans. McIlroy initially said he might skip Rio entirely to avoid alienating fans further. Two other top Northern Ireland golfers, Darren Clarke and McDowell, are Protestants who have identified with Ireland. ' ' '
