And the Michigan branch of the Sussex line does her part to wallow in royal privilege

Shut up, peasants!

The Queen of Lockdown, Gretchen Whitmer, prohibited her subjects from leaving Michigan while she herself (private) jetted to Florida to visit her sick father (at least) three times.

This is the same governor, you may recall, who banned the use of motor, but not rowboats (???) last year, and imposed her first ban on crossing state lines. She wasn’t the least embarrassed by the revelation that her husband had twice traveled to Wisconsin to oversee the launching of the family’s cabin cruiser and made another visit to the Whitmers’ horse farm.

Governor Newsom could not be reached for comment.
