    Royal family of the UK

    For the life of me, why is this news? They are symbolic to the UK. Why is this even covered in the US news. Its not important, its a soap opera. I cant even watch the news without this coming up. I truly dont understand.

    Which threads get the most views here? The controversy and the scandal! Same interest for those that are enthralled by the Royals. Americans love a good scandal...the Royals are always up to something.

    Google could have told you.

    Altogether, the entire British royal monarchy is worth an estimated $88 billion, and Brand Finance reports that they contribute $2.3 billion to the U.K. economy every year.

    I've routed You some classified info that explains the whole deal. Have fun poking around. (due to these ™™™) nobody will be able to trace it so fret not.

    Any interest in the Royal Family should have ended for us in 1776.

    agree, who gives a ****. I lived over there for 6 years and the average Brit does not care cause they pay such high taxes to support them

    Para-social Behavior and an unconscious desire to be led or directed. Find it under some Freud and remember "sometimes a cigar is just a cigar" You'll see what I mean when You start digging...

    It's a class envy thing being touted by some media outlets.

    IMO, the world cares because of Princess Diana. That situation brought a level of attention by the world that has never returned to normal.
