Maybe the reason people in America "follow" Harry and Megan...
is that, in the 21st century, it's such a farce that anyone is born into royalty? I think as England evolves, and the demographics change more and more, people are openly questioning the idea of ... "birthright". That this son is "born into" a role, and that the people will pay to continue to sustain that heritage.
Not saying Charles is not a legitimate "king", but ... in America anyway, people don't believe the royals are "betters" and that Charles' first-born son is any more worthy than his second-born.
I wonder if William will ever ... ascend to the throne. Will we really still be playing those games in another 20 years? Even if it's good for their country, and makes money, and oh... the good they do through the charities they support?
C'mon. Admit it. It's a farce. Colonialism fell, and so does the whole idea that one son is more deserving than another based on birthright...
(PS? I always thought Esau was cheated out of his birthright, but some say, those are simply myths too. The Catholic in me notes: so many "successful" men today had brothers who were ... unfavored. Rare is the family, it seems, that produces several strong sons and daughters: I think a lot of the inherited success in America too, indeed comes from being... the last brother standing... Most Americans reject that. Most middle-and-working-class families. But... you still see it in the families coming up, relying on nepotism and networking to "boost" their children, one of them or the favored sons, anyways.)
