Perhaps when the rest of America is finished falling all over themselves and foaming at the mouth with royal infatuation, perhaps some learned objective person will ask the unasked question: what’s all the hubbub?

Didn’t this country fight a war of independence to dispense with such notions as hereditary titles and unearned adulation for individuals whose only claim to fame is having been born.

The mere existence of monarchy is an affront to the principles of our republic…yet the air waves are awash with stories of etiquette preparation at the White House and schooling guests to tonight’s state dinner on the proper manner in which to address the queen. With all do respect to the British government and its people, Elizabeth II is not our royal highness, indeed, she isn’t any higher than any other citizen of this great land, nor should she be.


Then again…perhaps we shouldn’t be surprised by this turn of events, in a country where people like Paris Hilton can rise to fame and stardom, solely due to her birth, perhaps a little royal adulation is a marked improvement, at least Queen Elizabeth can spell “adulation.”
