The court considered a claim to sovereign immunity made on behalf of respondents who were the half brother of the sovereign and his son. They lived apart from the sovereign but claimed to be members of his household.
Held: The claims to immunity failed. Claims made by family members other than the very closest might succeed, but only rarely and not in this case.
