I was up in NY yesterday for some business meetings and decided to do an early morning run in the park and i ran into this guy:

Prince William went jogging in Central Park Tuesday — and no one noticed

@pagesix

“I decided to join the hordes of New Yorkers during their morning routine,” said jogger Prince William, who is in town for his Earthshot Summit.

If only I'd run with my phone, I could prove it. When I asked who was a better 1500 prospect for gold in 2024 - Kerr or Wightman, he said, "Ingebrigtsen baby."

I was momentarily taken back and said, "Aren't you supposed to root for your own subjects in the Olympics?" He said, "Do you know how stifling it is to have the randomness of your birth control everything about you - where you live, what your job is, etc. It's so refreshing to just pick my own sports fandom. I'm a HUGE fan. Plus I'm allowed to root for Norwegians as we are family. Their king is my cousin. King Herald's great grand parents Edward and Alexandra are my great-great-great grandparents."

Why is it that Americans are so obsessed with the "Royal Family"?
I thought they threw a tea party in Boston just to get rid of it all.

That's cool how Prince William thinks and talks exactly like you. Sounds like you two would be friends.

Agreed. I wouldn't know the guy if he was sitting next to me on the subway. And I wouldn't give a damn.

The Prince would have been calling security to apprehend you and you likely would have spent the night in jail. Your one phone call would have been instead a crowdsourcing post: “Help me get out of jail,” maybe posted under one of your aliases.

Well, you might if a bunch of women got all excited about his presence and were talking about him. To the original question, that's the answer, is that women generally tend to like prince and princess type stuff, and we Americans don't have our own so the ladies go gaga over the next closest thing. God knows what the appeal is. My wife was obsessed with Princess Diana back in the day and watched the various weddings of this generation of royal dingbats more recently. Maybe she wishes she'd married royalty instead of me. Hard to blame her for that, if so.

I think it's nice the UK still has something or someone to blame their problems on (somewhat) - where we pick the politiicans and have only ourselves to blame when they all suck.

Another take - castles, jewels, wealth gained through inheritance and not work? What's not to love?

Rojo, everyone in the Royal family are cousins.

So darn true. Most Americans have a feeling of insecurity and inferiority. That's why they preface themselves with some sort of European designation.

As it should be.
