It never ceases to amaze me - and I'm sure it never will - how obsessive the coverage of the Royal family's doings seems to be in the States. Didn't you guys fight a war to get rid of them? Don't you have any news of your own?

My grandmother is from england... if I didn't follow the royal family she'd disown me LOL
I remember I called my dad one time and ask if the Queen mum had passed away (for some reason I thought she was still alive) and his response was "don't you let your grandmother hear you ask such a question" LOL
R.I.P my dear Sweet Teddy. You will be missed forever. We love you.

A number of my granddad's brothers and sisters also emigrated to Canada after the First World War. Work here was scarce and it was a good opportunity. One of his sisters also ended up in London Ontario. I am currently waiting for a photo of the graveyard where she is buried through a website called Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness.
Sorry, somewhat off topic!![]()

This is just my opinion, but I think those in the U.S. that are obsessed with the goings-on, are those that love pomp and circumstance - the formality and beauty of the whole thing. Being the laid-back society that we are, we never see anything like that here. Can't say that I would personally like to live that 24/7, but it is rather interesting to watch on occasion.
And those in the U.S. that love to see the b.s. that happens within The Royal Family - maybe it makes them feel that we here in the U.S. aren't the only ones to screw up!![]()

My comment though was not about the people who consume the news, Pomtzu, rather it was about the obsessive news coverage of the Royal family in the States, when the same issues are not covered in such depth here.
Well again - I think it all goes back to satisfy those that are in to the pomp and circumstance. The media is just giving all those hungry people a lot to feast on - and of course boosting their ratings at the same time. Who really knows tho. Different cultures, different societies, different ways of thinking, and different priorities. Thank goodness all this happens only once in a blue moon!![]()

OMG OMG OMG Wom you have done it now!I have recieved the invite but what the hell am I going to wear? And what pray tell if I am seated next to Lady Gaga (whom I adore). No outfilt of mine will/can compare to hers. Should I just dress down in beige and be invisible? I certaintly cannot out glitz the Gaga.
OMG OMG OMG I need to lose weight. Get some more Radiesse, whiten my teeth more, get hair extenstions.
Wom send more money. And now it is almost too late to order that custom made dress from Channel.
And I don't think K-Mart has their spring line out yet.![]()
I find the whole royal family thing fascinating. I didn't watch the televised marriage of Diana and Charles, but, would watch any 'documentary' on it, the royal family, probably to the exclusion of all else. Not sure why. Maybe cause it is so foreign to me? We have no caste system here, no royal anything, other than royal PIAs...
Just cause we kicked the royal family to the curb all those years ago doesn't mean we have forgotten from whence we came. LOL.
