Why is America obsessed with a Royal wedding?
You can call me a conspiracy theorist on this one, but if feel that Tv shows will always try and push a agenda. Like right now there are 3 to 4 shows going about the British Royal family, like the show the Crown. It is kinda ironic that the Royal family has become really unpopular in Britain, and that the people there are realizing that they are just paying these people a boat load of money to do nothing. Especially the fact that they are just born into this boat load of money. We here in America fought a whole war on the idea that we the people had the right to chose our leaders. I believe it was the Revolutionary War, but correct me if I am wrong. The crazy part in my mind, they are trying to justify the Royal Families existence through these shows, and sub consciously trying to affect they way people view them. Just as support for the Royal family is decreasing in their own country. Also doesn't every woman want to be a princess at some point in their life?
This show pretty much showed us that :-)
As a UK resident, I honestly couldn't care two shits what the 'Royals' are up to. They have never taken an interest in me or my family. I've contributed for years toward there up keep and am yet to see any return from my investment (involuntary investment that is).
Ok fair enough like @moarafatshow mentioned, there is an attraction from tourisum. But they don't only come to see Royals. It's also the Palace, Big Ben, London Bridge, Stonehenge, to name just a few.
And another thing, what's the big deal with the 'Titles' the Queen hands out? So what if you can now put 'Sir' in front your name. Who cares if the Queen hit your Like button? You want to be called Sir, become a teacher!
To clarify then, I'm not against Royals.... Just don't support them, and don't see the point them being there any more.
If anyone would like to clarify their usefulness please feel free
It is crazy to think of the amount of money that they get, and it costs to take care of them. I could see for tourism, but my wife and I talked about going to the Uk and never once came up to see the royals, maybe the palace, but the people themselves... Ehh
Yeah, exactly... Tourism is more about landmarks and places, not people! You would need impeccable timing to plan trips in hope of catching a glimpse of a particular person.
I think people today look at the royals as being these sweet, lovable people, while they ignore all of the suffering and brutal treatment the monarchs of this world have have done to so many over the centuries. I guess they figure that since they're now so docile and benign, they are worthy of praise and celebrity status, as though they are like singers, or movie stars.
I've been know to label the royals as the world's richest welfare recipients.
People are really wacky with those they elevate as being special!
People so easily forget about the past, and history then tends to repeat itself. They killed and murdered thousands of people, maybe hundred of thousands over the decades. I laughed so hard about the welfare comment, because it is so true.
So true!
All people must be equal
This is the principle of justice
The monarchy is an unjust system because people make layers
A very great article was well published
There were a lot of people wondering if they were next, after the Brexit vote. I still believe next economic crisis, and they are out holding a sign on the street corner.
I fully agree with you. Couldn't say it better myself!
I am sure you could my writing is terrible.
Why would you think so?@bigram13
I didn't know that this 'show' is so popular in the US too. I'm from Slovakia and I'm getting annoyed anytime I see a commercial about this wedding. I don't understand why people focus on something so unimportant for our country. We're going to have broadcasting on each commercial channel. It's just a family that lives from money of other people if we simplify it a bit :)
Thank you for your article!
I can't even turn on the news, and I am confined to just listen to sports radio right now. It is everywhere, they are just trying to keep themselves relevant.
Hahaha, exactly. I've just seen a video: How to make a vegan royal wedding cake :) On another note, I wonder, how much do they pay for this propagation?
The monarchy is nothing more than a figurative title. I don't get why people care so much about what they do or say. They have NO real power although maybe some influence as they whisper in ears. It makes me laugh when I see a video of people crying as the royal procession drives by. What have these people ever done for you?
It is just brain washing to a extent. But I totally agree with one of the other comments. They are the richest welfare recipients. They should drug test them before they give them their check.
The royal canadian pudding!

best south park episode :D
It could be the allure of a storybook romance between a royal and an "outsider" who was not a political or economic insider.
Personally, I'm surprised the Danish wedding to an Aussie didn't get more attention.
Ive never understood it either. Always seems like a giant waste of time. I dont care about them, but I dont care about celebrities either though.
Yeah! I totally agree, it definitely because of America and the U.K.’s relationship, years of history and for the fact Canada is so close to the States. Why is said 'Canada is so close to the States' as a reason because Queen Elizabeth II also rules over Canada and so with the country being on the same continent as the U.S., Americans can almost touch the feeling of fairy tales and a better government. Crossing the border, Americans can enter a whole new world.
ah, I don't know about a better government. With out the US Canada would have been conquered years ago
But seriously it was part of it.
Honestly I don’t see why special attention should be given to those being paid to do absolutely nothing. Well I don’t see this kinda shows and if it comes on I rather see animal channels
