I'm just a Yank who doesn't keep up with things like Britian's Royal Family, but from what I've heard they're basically like our Hollywood Celebrities here in the U.S.A. aren't they? They have more money and privilege than anyone deserves and the world loves them and loves to hate them.
The only real difference to me is that they don't come out with movies to entertain people. But I dunno, I ain't British and I don't keep up with the news so I don't know anything about them.
