She always gets the royal glove treatment

Even the Malaphor King utters one now and then. I was talking to my wife about a person who seems to always get preferential treatment in everything. “Royal glove treatment” was then said. It is a congruent conflation of “the royal treatment” and “white-glove treatment/service”, both referring to service or treatment that is marked with by particular care or attention. Perhaps I had conjured up Queen Elizabeth in her gloves doing the royal wave, not sure.
