Explain Royalty
Posted: Thu Dec 18, 2014 6:28 pm
ok i just became pretty dumbfounded to learn that apparently there is a lot more royalty out in the world than i ever knew
scandanavian countries and places like spain?
so my naive question - what does this stuff even mean? my impression is that these are just titles and really they are just celebrities? or i guess that's my UK impression as that is the only limited exposure i've ever experienced.
i'm not even sure wtf i'm asking here.
the whole prince/duke/king thing is baffling. seems like in some cases the "3rd heir" to whatever is much younger than the 4th which would mean that #4 would die before being given a chance for....uh whatever.
ok so to sum up this post::
royalty - what gives?
side note - i'm amazed at how interested some peeps are with diana, harry, middleton here in the USA
i couldn't even begin to care less. they have zero impact on our country so i'm not sure what the interest is at all. perhaps it's just romanticism or something lol
