Archduk :: :: Here we are all equals

“Once, while the Nixe was docked at Gruž, a navy squadron leader stationed at the port came aboard. He had heard that a member of the royal family was on board. He addressed the Archduke, who was standing on the gangplank.
- ‘May I speak with the captain?’
- ‘I am the captain,’ replied the Archduke.
- ‘Please tell me, is it true that there is a gentleman of great importance on board this ship?’
- ‘No, sir. Here we are all equals.’”
