I don’t understand the negativity towards these people. I do get how it would bore a lot of folks and the reasons behind us not wanting to have the Monarchy type of rule,and it all seems rather silly in the modern era but Will and Kate and the baby, etc. are born into this, it’s not as if they have crowned themselves. If you were born a Prince would you renounce your title? No. It would be your way of life and the way you’ve grown up accepting as the normal way of things. The whole thing imo is no different in how we promote celebrities and they live in huge houses and make craploads of money. Except for a lot of them are vulgar and don’t bother to “give back.” I would much rather idolize, have as role models, or whatever you want to call it, a seemingly nice young married couple who seem not at all arrogant or power hungry (unlike our rulers and a lot of celebs right now)

I agree, 100%! Thanks for your insight!

When we are born, we can only judge our peers by what we go through. I have a podiatrist who has seen both sides. He said when he was a kid, he had no clue that other kids had no mansion and no swimming pool, nor hired help. His parents divorced, and he soon saw the side of life that he had never known existed.

I, on the other hand, grew up with a vegetable garden, butchered meat in the public cold storage locker, and home canned fruits and vegetables in the winter.

Until I was married six years and then divorced three, I had no clue that some people did NOT have to struggle!

I prefer Royalty to most celebs, because at least the Royals have a history of helping the less fortunate. Movie stars? Not so much.

the royals do not MAKE money unlike the idols - and the royals can be just as vulgar -whether it is dressing up as a NAZI or making a cocaine and hooker sex tape.

Yes. Occasionally a good one does renounce their title
