After having a public beach closed off for the King of Saudi Arabia by the security services the French people said it was a breach of their laws on equality.

Would the British public tell a king he's not entitled to special privileges?

What do you mean "a king"? A foreign national or our head of state? You would quite often get 2 different answers but I suppose that's why you kept it deliberately vague and meaningless eh?

They seem quite happy to keep the only sandy beach for miles around closed.

I see the confusion when i said king; i really meant king, i hope that helps. But i know what you mean king/queen/head of state sometimes the lines do get blurred.
