British Royalty Drama Who Cares?

[ProfD]

Here's the latest movie about the late Princess Diana:

CNN Is running a whole series about her too.

 

Of course, there's whatever is going on with Harry and Meghan and their estrangement from Buckingham palace. 

 

Maybe I'm an insensitive old man but I've never understood the American infatuation with whatever is happening across the pond. 

 

I'm open to being educated on why I should care about any of it.

You don’t have to care about any of it but 

 

I LOOOOVED Princess Diana!!!

 

Why? 

 

Probably because we were the exact same age, 

and when Prince Charles was announcing their 

engagement, I was getting married at that same 

time, had my baby the same time as Diana, so I

always had an affinity towards her.

 

Obviously it was a distant and occasional affinity, 

but when Diana was killed in that horrible collision, 

I was sick.  Like crying and staying in the bed all

day sick.

 

All the movies about Diana are too much.  I have 

seen several ducumentaries about her and I am

certain that everything about her has been

covered already.

 

 

The Queen.

 

OMG I LOOOOVE The Queen.

 

Why?

 

Because she is The Queen of EVERYTHING and 

SHE IS FANTABULOUS.

 

I have books about The Queen’s wardrobe, her 

life, her recipes, her relationship with Camilla, 

and Catherine, and all the rest of it.

 

The Queen is the richest person in the world, she

has the most fabulous furniture, jewelry, clothes

and accessories than anyone else.

 

I have books on lots of topics since I’m a bookworm

with thousands of books, but I probably have more

books about the British Royals than anyone else.  

 

Who is more interesting than them?

 

I certainly am NOT interested in the Bidens or any

of the reality TV personalities.  Most of those trashy

people should be in jail.

 

Of course some of the royals should be in jail also.  

A couple of them are shady as hell.

It's funny how two people can look that the same thing and see something different. 

 

When I caught a glimpse of the furniture in the Queen's mouth (teeth), I refuse to believe she's never met a dentist she liked. She could have gotten those two rows of corn in her gums fixed a long time ago. Instead, she chose to spend the kingdom's money on other stuff.

I never noticed The Queen’s teeth, but the Brits are notorious for

having bad teeth.  

 

Maybe they are scared of the dentist or have an aversion to pain.

 

At her advanced age, The Queen is doing good to have any 

teeth at all.  

 

I don’t think that The Queen spends money in the traditional

sense, her people just bring her whatever she wants. I could

not imagine her handling cash or a debit card.  

 

That would be so crass.

At @ProfD I'm with you in failing to understand why anyone, even Brits -- especially the Black one --  care about the royal family.

 

While @Mzuri provides a case for her specific situation, it does not help me understand the general case, for most people who care about the royals would not have the same things in common.  I have yet to meet a heterosexual male that cared about princess diana and the royal family.  Has anyone? 

 

I don't think the Brits fluoridate their water.

Maybe they use Tartrazine more commonly known as yellow #5.
