I see this as more celebrity news than a world event.
I used to be a royal watcher for history reasons. But then as I realized the point of being royal was to be the embodiment of the state, then royalty seemed more like prison than a world of privilege. I don't see how being King, Queen, princess or whatever is a privilege. How is it so great to live under such scrutiny? Nothing is yours, not even your life. Everything you do is for the sake of the country, even maintaining your fractured marriage to avoid any scandal. Spin doctors and PR dictate your life and you can't have your own opinion made public. And it has got to be horribly dull to pretend to be interested in cutting ribbons, meeting state leaders, playing basketball at some Harlem gym, etc. And who really wants to be put on a pedestal and be the face of the nation? Sounds lonely, miserable and overwhelming. Also, I wonder if people really like royalty because of the jewels and designer clothes, or because they want to seemingly worship another human being (bowing or curtseying, saying your highness or your majesty).
Rant over.
