Why do Americans worship the Queen?

"as well as they are the United Kingdom's"

Canada has a great many more links with England than the queen anyway....besides, she professes to being scottish, like her mother and her husband's greek and her real family name is saxe-coburg-gotha.....I'd like to know where the English bit came in.

Don't display your ignorance. The Queen is our head of state, regardless of how we may personally feel, and they are our Royal Family.Do I like them, no as a matter of fact I wish to hell canada would dump the monarchy. But that has nothing to do with what is, and what is is that the House of Windsor is Canada's Royal Family as much as it is Englands'.(And you know that as well as I do)

You want to dump them and yet you think Americans have a fascination about them? LOL!

Our closest tie to anything "royal" is Burger King.

ITN, I think you'll find it's George Bush actually...him being what?....a third cousin....


says a lot doesnt it?

I know the Bush's are closely related to the Spencers (Princess Diana's family)

Could be, doesn't matter either way. Until we refer to someone as Sir, Earl or any other title that grants special status, I'm not going to worry about anything.

Again "worship" has been replaced by "fascination"....I think the royals like the GG in Canada are an expensive tourist attraction...I doubt the general public in the U.S. takes much notice except when the media are blaring something repeatedly in their faces...

What people don't seem to understand is they are judging the American people by what their media spash around. You have fallen for the media hype yourself if that is how you base your opinions.

The networks and press are fascinated by tales of Royals and celebrities....... it fills
time and space....as the media are still locked into trying to keep an audience.... a battle they are quickly losing.

On the other hand, King ITN has a rather nice ring to it.

sounds like a news report (you do realise that the news at ten here is actually officially titled "The ITN News at Ten" right?)

I'd never be royalty, my fore and surname sound too irish (unless I change my name like the Duke of wellington).
