When it comes to meeting a member of the Royal Family, one must stick to a strict set of guidelines. Leaving out common people, even celebrities have to follow these rules. On one such occasion, F1 star Lewis Hamilton and NBA legend LeBron James got in the same problematic boat when they failed to adhere to the rules set by the family. The Mercedes star met with the late Queen Elizabeth II, in 2009 when he received MBE (Member of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire). There, while meeting with her majesty, the Briton was said to have broken the royal protocol. Talking about this, the seven-time world champion conveyed [https://metro.co.uk/2022/09/11/from-ed-sheeran-to-lewis-hamilton-stars-who-broke-royal-protocol-15610137/] during The Graham Norton Show, “I got invited to a lunch and was sitting next to The Queen. ‘I was excited and started to talk to her but she said, pointing to my left, “No, you speak that way first and I’ll speak this way and then I’ll come back to you”.

She is really cool.” Much like Hamilton, LeBron James, and Spice Girl, Geri Halliwell also broke the protocol. NBA LEGEND LEBRON JAMES COMMITTED THE SAME BLUNDER AS LEWIS HAMILTON NBA legend LeBron James once found himself making the same mistake as the Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton. While meeting Prince and Princess of Wales Williams and Catherine, James placed an arm around her royalty. It was initially regarded as a breach of protocol when pictures came out. However, Laura King, senior communications officer for Buckingham Palace, confirmed to the Northeast Ohio Media Group that it wasn’t the case. Citing the reason, when the Royal Family meets people, they want them to feel as comfortable as possible. Geri Halliwell, the wife of Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner, went a level above when her encounter with his majesty the then Prince Charles made headlines. Reports came out that the Ginger Spice pinched the bum of his majesty.

Formula 1 star Lewis Hamilton and NBA Legend LeBron James once got swayed by the
Royal presence and they unknowingly broke Royal protocol.

<h2><strong>Christian Horner: 2021 Net worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Christian Horner is the present team boss of the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/">Aston Martin Red Bull team</a>. The Briton has been with the team since their debut in 2005.

Ahead of his career with the Milton-Keynes based outfit, Horner functioned in the world of Formula 3000. He retired from racing at 25, under his own discretion, considering his speed. Horner let himself focus on developing the Arden team, for whom he had prior raced.
<h2><strong>On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Admittedly, Horner was unsuccessful in the racing scene. He recorded the highest position of 6th in 1997 with the Arden team.

After retiring from racing, Horner signed Viktor Maslov and Marc Goossens in the 1999 FIA F3000 season. Arden also competed in Italian F3000 in the year 2000, winning 3 races and finishing second in the Championship.

After parting company with Lukoil, a new driver line-up was named for 2002. Tomáš Enge and Björn Wirdheim took 5 victories and a title for Enge. Arden also won the Team Championship that year, followed by many more.
<h2>Christian Horner in Red Bull</h2>
It wasn't long before Horner knocked on the doors of Formula One. He entered discussions with Eddie Jordan regarding buying the Jordan Grand Prix; however, those talks fell flat. In 2004, Red Bull purchased the Jaguar F1 Team to become Red Bull Racing.

In January 2005, Horner was appointed to lead the team, effectively recording his name in the history books as the youngest Team Principal. Under him, drivers David Coulthard and Christian Klien finished 4th and 7tj in Australia, scoring 34 points in the season.

He also played a key role in recruiting McLaren technical guru, Adrian Newey. Newey was later announced as the team's Chief Technical Officer in November 2005.

2006 was a transitional year, and though the car was unreliable, it grabbed a maiden podium finish at the <a title="Monaco Grand Prix" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monaco_Grand_Prix">Monaco Grand Prix</a>. In utmost happiness, Christian Horner jumped into a swimming pool, one of his most iconic moments to date.

The team ranked 2nd in the 2009 Constructors' Championship with Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber. The racers achieved 2nd and 4th position, respectively, in the Drivers' Championship title race. In addition, they bagged 6 titles altogether.

In 2010, the team won their first Constructors' Championship with one race to spare. Sebastian Vettel won the Drivers' Championship title at the last race of the season, becoming the youngest World Champion.

At 36, Horner was the youngest Team Principal to have won a Formula 1 Constructors' Championship, forging his name in the record books yet again.

In 2011, the team won their second Constructors' Championship with three races to spare.

Sebastian Vettel became the world's youngest champion twice. Soon, Vettel grabbed 2 more titles for the Austrian outfit.
<h2>Christain Horner: 2021 Net Worth</h2>
Horner holds an honorary rank of an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE). He received the award in 2013.

The Red Bull Team Principal reportedly holds a <a href="https://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-athletes/race-car-drivers/christian-horner-net-worth/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">net worth</a> of $50 million and brings home a salary of $10 million annually.
<h2>Best Moments of Christian Horner</h2>

<h2><strong>Foundations and Charity Work</strong></h2>
On the account of philanthropy, Christian Horner presently holds the rank of Ambassador in the Wings For Life Foundation.

The primary aim of the foundation is to raise awareness regarding spinal cord injury. In addition, funding the foundation’s crucial research into finding a cure is the other motto.
<h2>How to contact Christian Horner</h2>
The current team boss of Red Bull is clearly active on various social media platforms.

He keeps his followers updated on regular intervals with his personal opinions and musings through his profile on <a href="https://instagram.com/christianhornerofficial?igshid=16ypqpxqhv80r">Instagram.</a>

LeBron James

Who is LeBron James? LeBron James is widely considered to be one of the greatest to ever play the game of basketball. Born in Akron, James spent the majority of his professional career with the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers, winning multiple NBA championships and earning numerous accolades along the way. Dec 7, 2023; Las Vegas, Nevada, USA; Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James (23) reacts during the second quarter against the New Orleans Pelicans in the NBA In Season Tournament Semifinal at T-Mobile Arena. Mandatory Credit: Kyle Terada-USA TODAY Sports &nbsp; Known for his exceptional all-around game, James is a four-time MVP and has been selected to the All-Star team a record 18 times. LeBron James&#8217; early life LeBron James was born on December 30, 1984, in Akron, Ohio. James started playing basketball at a young age, showing great potential. He soon became one of the best high school basketball players in the country. James graduated from St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary High School and declared for the NBA draft in 2003. James led St. Vincent&#8217;s St. Mary to three state championships in four years. With Keith Dambrot and Dru Joyce II coaching the side for two years each, the Fighting Irish had a record of 101 victories and 6 losses during James&#8217; time. LeBron James&#8217; wife and children LeBron James was raised by his mother Gloria James, who struggled to make ends meet as a single mother. Not much is known about James&#8217; biological father Anthony McClelland, who was largely absent from LeBron&#8217;s life during his childhood. He is also reported to have criminal records to his name. James has been in a relationship with his high school sweetheart Savannah since his teenage years. The couple tied the knot on September 14, 2013. Savannah James has indulged in several business ventures over the years and is also a noted philanthropist. She has also established a mentorship program for young women. LeBron and Savannah have three children together: Bronny, Bryce, and Zhuri James. Both Bronny and Bryce are following in their father&#8217;s footsteps to become basketball stars. In December 2023, Bronny made his long-awaited collegiate debut with the USC Trojans, less than five months after suffering cardiac arrest in July. LeBron James&#8217; net worth 2024 LeBron James has an estimated net worth of $1 billion, according to recent reports. James is the first active NBA star to achieve this feat. The four-time NBA champion signed a two-year $97.1 million contract extension with theÂ Los Angeles Lakers last year. As per reports, James has earned around $387 million in salaries in his 20-year NBA career so far. Furthermore, he has also made a fortune with his endorsement deals and investments, which have helped him build his massive business empire. LeBron James&#8217; NBA career timeline TheÂ Cleveland Cavaliers selected hometown boy LeBron James as the first overall pick in the 2003 NBA draft. James was a superstar straight out of high school and took the league by storm. He played for the Cavaliers from 2003 to 2010 in his first stint and won MVP awards in 2009 and 2010. Even though the Akron Hammer was almost unstoppable on the court and won many individual accolades, team success was hard to come by.

Game 5: Indiana at Cleveland &#8211; ZUMAm67_ 20180425_zaf_m67_043 Copyright: xLeahxKlafczynskix James then left the Cavs and took his talents to theÂ Miami Heat in 2010. He received major backlash from Cavs fans after this move. However, he continued his dominance, alongside superstars Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh for the Heat, and clinched his first NBA title in 2012, followed by another in 2013. He also won the NBA MVP award and the Finals MVP award in 2012 and 2013. The estranged son then returned to the Cavaliers in 2014 and took the team to four straight NBA Finals against the Golden State Warriors. He helped the Cavs win their first-ever NBA title in 2016. James once again left the Cavs, this time to join the Los Angeles Lakers, in 2018 and led them to the 2020 NBA title.Â  Following the retirements of Udonis Haslem and Andre Iguodala, LeBron James is currently the oldest player in the league. On the 21st of November 2023, James became the first player in league history to reach 39,000 career points. Six days later, he surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar&#8217;s record of 66,300 minutes to become the player with the most minutes played in NBA games during the regular season and playoffs.

King James is dedicated to providing the youth of America, especially those at risk, the opportunity required to prosper in life with his &#8216;I Promise&#8217; initiative. LeBron James&#8217; rings Over his illustrious 20-year career (and counting), James has won four NBA championships. He has led three different franchises &#8211; the Miami Heat, the Cleveland Cavaliers, and the Los Angeles Lakers &#8211; to NBA titles. James&#8217; first title came in 2012 with the Heat, when he won his first Finals MVP award, followed by a second consecutive title in 2013. After returning to Cleveland in 2014, James delivered on his promise to bring the city its first major sports championship in over 50 years. In 2016, James powered the Cavaliers back from a daunting 3-1 deficit against the record-setting Golden State Warriors in the Finals. James won his 4th championship and NBA Finals MVP award in 2020, leading the Los Angeles Lakers to a championship against his former side, the Miami Heat. LeBron James&#8217; shoe deals LeBron James signed a huge deal with Nike even before he entered the NBA. As James&#8217; superstardom rose, he became one of the most important faces of the brand, with his line of signature shoes, which is in its 20th version now. The four-time NBA MVP signed a lifetime deal with Nike in 2015 for an undisclosed fee. LeBron James&#8217; house LeBron James has reiterated multiple times that he does not spend his hard-earned money without reason. Former teammate Dwyane Wade once revealed that James is one of the cheapest players in the league despite being one of the richest. However, James knows how to spend his fortune in style. And when it comes to where he lives, the King does not compromise. According to reports, LeBron owns multiple properties in California, Ohio, and Miami, that are worth a combined estimated value of $100 million. LeBron James&#8217; car collection LeBron James is known for having an extensive collection of cars, estimated to be worth over $2 million. Some of the standouts include a Chevy Camaro SS, a 2015 Porsche 918 Spyder, and the Dodge Challenger SRT 392. He also owns a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster, a 720-horsepower V12 supercar. Another notable element of his collection is a Mercedes luxury sedan, the Maybach S650, worth around $200,000. Notably, after teaming up with Shaquille O&#8217;Neal in Cleveland, Shaq gifted LeBron a Rolls Royce Phantom for his 25th birthday. The luxury car goes from 0 to 60 mph in just 5.2 seconds and is valued at around $505,000. LeBron James&#8217; controversial moments LeBron James has not had any major controversies so far. However, there have been a few questionable moments in his career. James was the centerpiece of controversy during his high school career for accepting gifts. Then his infamous move to the Miami Heat in 2010, announced on national television, stirred up a lot of controversy. James, who is very vocal about his political beliefs, was criticized for his association with Nike because of the brand&#8217;s political stance. Also, his comments on America after Brittney Griner&#8217;s detainment in Russia sparked some controversy. Will LeBron James retire? LeBron James, 39, is currently playing his 21st NBA season in the NBA. The future Hall of Famer is still playing at the highest level, but he is definitely at the tail end of his career. However, the Lakers icon will not retire after the 2023-24 season as he has multiple times opened up about his desire to play alongside his son Bronny James in the league. Bronny will be eligible to declare for the NBA draft next year. So there is a high chance that James may continue playing in the league until his son enters the NBA.
