You're always hinting about your links with the royal family...
Would you ask the Queen to leave?
I'm damn sure she doesn't take off her shoes when she visits!

Re: Removing shoes
Ay my local swimming baths they have a machine where you take some plastic overshoes and slip them on before you enter the changing area. When you come out, you throw them away.I don't.
I bring them home and if anybody comes to my house I ask them to slip them over their shoes - only if it's bad weather & I think they'll bring dirt in.. Mostly I don't bother.
I do find most people take their shoes off anyway without being asked.

This topic came up 3 or 4 years ago. I think from memory that the number of house proud posters has grown in number.
Just saying...

If you live in the East no one would dream of walking into someone's house with outdoor shoes on .
