Everything the British Royal family does? Seems like we have at least one or two stories a week all about the British royalty. In my mind I compare it to the trainwreck that is the Kardashians. No one watches their show but every time I open Yahoo something is "Trending" with the Kardashians or the British royal family. We truly are a warped society.

is it everything? or is it the scandalous stuff?

does your media highlight stories about charitable wotk done by Princess Ann or Prince Edward?, neither of whom are particularly pretty to look at

Seems to be more about anything involving the younger members of the royal family. Scandalous or not. Of course we still occasionally see pictures of Prince Charles who we all know is butt-ugly. I bet they hung a T-bone around his neck to get the dog to play with him.

I guess it is that dividing line between being crazy as a loon and eccentric. I wish I was rich enough to be eccentric.

Ahh but your are rich..

Money is not what I define as making you rich.. Happiness, a good life, heath and a wonderful family is worth much more than all the money in the world.

Although winning a few 100K in the lottery would make things a bit easier, :tooth

I am truly wealthy in those things not monetary. It just amazes me the adoration poured out on those who truly should not be adored.

But you are good for one. huh dana?


Actually my point is most people I know could not care less what is going on with the Brits royalty, Kardashians, Lohan or Spears but the TV and radio are all about them all the time. We have a couple of escaped prisoners on the loose locally. That news took a backseat today to discussions about Kate's funbags & where they will be published next.

Trust me the two boobs here who should be behind bars are much more important than hers.

It should be noted that not all Americans such as myself care about every move the British Royal Family does. I have a life, and many of other Americans do as well.

Agreed and we are not the exception but the rule. Most of us don't care but the TV & radio wonks think otherwise.

To be honest, nothing bores me more than watching on TV what the British Royal Family is doing, or what some actor/actress is doing.

Therefore, I hate Entertainment Tonight and I always have!

I was interested in the pics of Kate because she is pretty hot but day to day I have no interest in the royalty.
