Americans have always been fascinated with the British royal family, but its interest turned to something that bordered on obsession starting in 1981. 1981 marked the year, or rather the summer that Princess Diana was married to Prince Charles of Wales. This was a wedding that was broadcast all around the world and although Americans don't have monarchy, they woke up early in the morning to view this wonderful occasion. It was as much of a historical event in the minds of Americans as the man walking on the moon.
Ever since then, the Americans have been obsessed with Princess Diana, and the British royal family. Because Americans don't have a monarchy, they love to live vicariously through the British press. They love hearing about the goings-on of the Royals. When they hear about the Royals, they get to hear about a segment of people, and about a lifestyle that they will never get a chance to experience in the United States. Beyond this, Diana, Princess of Wales was such a beautiful woman. She was a great humanitarian, and she was also a very fascinating and fashionable woman to behold. This is why when she died in 1997, the world mourned for her, and Americans felt the pain in as much as the British citizens did.
Part of America focusing in on the royal family and particularly on Diana, Princess of Wales, was the birth of her sons William and Harry. The Americans literally watched them grow from conception, to the young men that they are now. It is for this reason that the Americans were happy and full of joy when it was announced that Prince William was marrying Kate Middleton. Americans of a certain age remember the marriage of his mother, and when she became pregnant with William. They will certainly share in the joy of the British people when William and Kate marry in April. It will be as if one of their own sons was born, grew up, and made them proud by becoming a man and marrying. Americans will probably want to take it advantage of any royal wedding memorabilia in as much as British people do.
Many Americans feel that the marriage of Prince William and Kate Middleton represents a royal family of the new millennium. They feel that Prince William and Kate Middleton are the future, and that this is a new chapter of the British royal family that they want to take part of as well. They look forward to observing what Kate Middleton will bring to the world. Many people wonder if Kate will be as much of a humanitarian and a fashion icon as her deceased mother-in-law Diana was.
There are movies being made even now designed to introduce the world to Kate. People want to know about her background, although it has already been mentioned that Kate comes from middle-class beginnings. This already endears her in the minds of many Americans, as America is a country that started from nothing, and holds values of building oneself up to create themselves to being whomever they wish to be. Therefore, Americans are very sympathetic towards anyone that comes from a working-class or middle-class background, and that literally turns into a Princess.
