An early version of the salute, adopted in 1892, was known as the Bellamy salute. It started with the hand outstretched toward the flag, palm down, and ended with the palm up. Because of the similarity between the Bellamy salute and the Nazi salute, developed later, President Franklin D. Roosevelt instituted the hand-over-the-heart gesture as the salute to be rendered by civilians during the Pledge of Allegiance and the national anthem in the United States, instead of the Bellamy salute. Removal of the Bellamy salute occurred on December 22, 1942, when Congress amended the Flag Code language first passed into law on June 22, 1942.

This is the Bellamy salute, during the pledge in the "old days":

That does not surprice me :wink:,Kings tend to associate with the high and mighty.
Very unusual for them to mingle with the common bottom feeders like us,.....unless they need votes:rolleyes:

Whats this inane king and queen BS you guys are running your mouths about? I am new here and am amazed at how childish many of the members seem to be. Compared to several of the forums I belong to you are acting like children.
