I see this thread here on CD, I see a sighting post from a friend on FB, but what is so special about her that we would even care?
Honestly, I think it's the princess fantasy. The US certainly has a class system, but there's no handsome prince or castles or crown jewels.

I suppose.

I mean, I'm a belly dancer and I think a lot of my kind have Arabian Nights/Robin Hood fantasies. Personally, I see the fantasy world as the Kingdom of Oz* or Pern**.

But real life, modern day princess fantasy? Rather see that as dreary as the background for "Roman Holiday".

Let me ask this.....is the country so hyped up on it because the media says we are suppose to be? Is that why we are paying so much attention? (asked by one who is not seeing the media)

*Like my ranch, I rule but with all the ecosystems, so many little "castles" here and there. And, NO!, they are not "Sand Kings".

**"Maiden on Pegasus" by Melody Pena (pencil work), that kind of Pern.

Or perhaps some of us are just bored and need a little diversion from everyday life.

You're right!

True, plus why is she carrying heavy bags after such intense abdominal surgery? IMO it is not her.

You could be correct about her appendix or perhaps she had to have a full blown Hysterectomy which takes a few months to recover fully depending on what they found. Kate and William are the future and I think they are wonderful. Kate is beautiful. Let's all be thankful that Meghan will not be future Queen. (laughing)

My sister and I did our DNA and we are 64% UK. There is also a Township in the UK which has the same name as our maiden name. Pretty incredible. Our parents died years and ago and our dad never talked about his ancestors. So we did the digging. :-) I do follow the Royals on X (Twitter) Love Kate and William ~

You're a good enough person to ask--why do you care? Whatever your heritage is, you're not currently British, so why do you love Kate and William?

I think KM's healing time is more important than the public's insatiable hunger for a public appearance.

My Lord, give a sister human a break!

She's not even a real princess. She just married into the family.
