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!
