My feed is filled with this stuff and all I can think of is the conspiracy seems like it should be focused more on the attention it’s taking vs whatever crazy takes are floating around. Is this all to distract from the multiple wars going on? Or is there something else that should have our attention but doesnt?

    No offense but how old are you? Because this is nothing new. They have been plastering the UK royals across magazine covers for my entire life and I’m 40 this year.

    As for the why… my theory is that the British monarchy (like it or not) is a part of western heritage and history, they have impacted more of the worlds cultures (for better or worse) than not. They certainly arent as relevant to power as they once were but as a lineage they are part of our collective history and having them be pseudo celebrities that we are constantly keeping tabs on gives us a sense of continuity and like everything is going to be ok. Theres plenty of cultures out there keeping really bigoted ideas alive out of “tradition”, “history” and “culture”… by comparison suffering some tabloid stories on rich white people doesnt seem that bad.
