Last night, Masterpiece Theatre aired a show about the lives of Elizabeth (Queen mum) and Bertie. It was well done, and the characterization of "Uncle David" was absolutely evil.
He did have a point about why in the heck Ricky Martin was at the concert. Ha!
My personal opinion is that there is a deep need for royalty in the human psyche. In America we take this feeling and invest it in movie stars, sports figures, and some politicians. It is such a deep need that we find an outlet in other ways.
That is my pop psychology lecture for the day. LOL!
