echo #2

NBA界のKingことLeBron James選手が，試合観戦に訪れたウィリアム王子らと記念撮影をする際，公爵夫人の肩に手を回したことが波紋を呼んでいます。
名詞ですでに採り上げていますが，名詞同様に動詞echoにも「〈物事が〉…に類似する; …を思わせる」という意味があります（『プログレッシブ英和中辞典』小学館）。
Kingというあだ名はあくまでNBAの中でのこと。royal protocolに触れることはできなかったようです。（Koyamamoto）

LeBron James breaks royal protocol with Kate, Duchess of Cambridge
Watch the Duchess of Cambridge's reaction when basketball star LeBron James breaks royal protocol at the NBA game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge met basketball star LeBron James in New York on Monday night after watching a basketball game between the Brooklyn Nets and the Cleveland Cavaliers at the Barclays Center indoor arena.
Prince William and the former Miss Middleton were also presented with NBA jerseys, including a small one for their young son, Prince George.
While posing for photographs, LeBron James appeared to surprise the Duchess of Cambridge by breaking royal protocol and placing his arm around her.
The breach of protocol echoed the time when Michelle Obama caused a stir by putting her arm around the Queen in 2009.
The royals are on their first official trip to the US since 2011.
