Technically the Constitutional Clause. Being Article 1. Section 9. Clause 8.4 Only explicitly prevents Government Employees, Military Personnel, and Elected Officials from accepting titles of nobility without the explicit consent of Congress and waivers issued by Congress.
As has been several times with American Military Personnel, American Presidents, and Diplomats.
Worst thing that could happen to Bob is he’s barred from holding Public Office or being directly employed by the Federal Government
Private Citizens are to the best I’ve been able to find exempt at least under Federal Law. It maybe considered an Offense under a state law. But I doubt anyone would care enough to prosecute it at a state level.
It’s never seriously come up or been considered in a legal case. So any of the above could change if a Federal Court ever gives a formal opinion and interpretation of the clause.
Strictly speaking. Though it has been used by nobles and wannabe Nobles. It after the decline of knights as a Professional Soldiering class. Thereby removing the need for squires.
Became more or less a social rank and Courtesy title. For people who weren’t Titled Knights and Nobility. But Wealthy enough with enough social clout to not be considered a typical Yeoman or Peasant. With the definition of who it referred to and where they fell on the social hierarchy changing periodically with time. But generally it referred to members of the Landed Gentry which were basically Landlords who derived most of their income via rent. Who sometimes were titled nobles, often times they weren’t. And members of the intellectual class. Lawyers, Doctors etc.
Most of the confusion as to whether it is or isn’t a Noble title stems from the social structures of the English and by extension Colonial America. And the tendency for there to be overlap between with actual titled nobility and normal run of the mill Rich people. And a small part just Conspiracy Theorists who want to see what they want to see.

what about the 'Esquire' title often used by attorneys?

Bob Iger fancies himself as President, which is a problem given recent events.
Freedom would suggest private citizens may receive foreign accolades. But public officials should avoid even the appearance of divided loyalty.
Goes back to the real reason for the War of 1812 , the Original 13th Amendment and it's memory hole. Esquires have long corrupted the Body Politic .
'Had a naturalized acquaintance who used HRH, so it would seem he was able to keep his title.
You know nothing of the modern knight hood. It is 'the best pedophile award' same as 'the presidential medial of honor'.
They still like the promote the 'honor' side of it, to keep up the facade.
You spelled "horror" wrong, fren. Kek.
Americans can; American government officials cannot.
I would also bring up where's Kate and has anyone seen the "king" as of late?
The "king" will likely appear to appoint the new prime minister following the July 4th election.
These English trillionaires own the would and USA politicians
Great Britain would like nothing more but to turn the United States into 50 more home nations.
Sir Bob of Woke?
