The Queen of England likes Michelle, so I’m guessing her manners are pretty good. ---

You have to admit **Charlie Wayne** is distinctive. His language is formal and stilted, his insults are childish, his “apologies” are pretentious, and he has zero self-awareness. So it’s not hard to see why people think he’s a fraud. ---
