Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain what exactly the royal family are? I'm American and don't pay attention to 99.9% of things that don't happen here, and only pay attention to about 10% of the stuff that actually happens here. To my knowledge, they are just a family...with no power or responsibilities?? I don't think I'm far off, and I don't understand the obsession or even general care for the royal family.

I was gonna dispute djchameleon's claim of it being on the news constantly in the USA, but then I realized that if it isn't on ESPN I probably didn't see it.

your math is a little slightly off but I get your point. The little news that I do watch which constants of morning news and Good Morning America it has been plastered all over those two programs, specifically GMA.

As an American, I really don't understand how you UK-ers even tolerate the royal family, much less adore them. I mean, they're even worse than celebrities in the sense that they enjoy ridiculously lavish lifestyle and constant fame for doing nothing other than being born, which isn't "doing" anything at all. At least other celebrities are professional actors/actresses, athletes, or what have you.

Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong but how do you guys willingly pay out part of your earnings every day to GIVE this family money for performing a role that has all but vanished in the last couple hundred years?

They bring in a lot of money from tourism.

I think it's funny how the minute she gets engaged to Prince William, shes suddenly "Catherine" and Kate is disposed of.
