why do bratty teenagers obsess over celebrities
a related question is "Why are people like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton famous?"
A better question: why do William, Kate, and their kid have to be celebrities in America?
Agreeing with that logic. Is obama and his family all over news sources in the UK?
Not really no, bar when he is in the news normally.It's worth noting that the Royal Family aren't entirely viewed as celebrities in the UK. For the most part they are loved, but it's in a different way. Gossip magazines would make you believe otherwise though.
Because one day they'll rule one of the most powerful countries in the world. Seems like a much more justifiable celebrity than a coke-whore.
