That could be because simply after Diana's death, The Royal Family wasn't as popular as it once was and got less American media coverage.
I remember hearing about them meeting at college, their courtship over the years, the split and the engagement and now of course, the wedding.

You know you keep iterating that you are Americans as am I but where did your ancesters come from? I would say about 75% of Americans has a little bit of British in us. As for the wedding, it wasn't so much on who was getting married but the fact that it was extravegant and beautiful. Like someone else said, "don't like what is on then change the channel." I agree with that statement. There are over 1000 channels nowadays and only 4 or 5 channels were showing the actual wedding.

First, he is coherent in his interviews, and that alone makes him smarter than you (which isn't hard at all).
And what makes me incoherent?
Second, how do you know he is immune to any problems faced by the average person?
Does he have to worry about rising gas prices since he's being subsidized? Does he have to worry about being the future ruler as it's been guaranteed by bloodline while if I wanted to become the governor of California I'd have to work on attaining accomplishments to gain name recognition? Isn't it true he spent just ONE DAY being 'homeless' just to see what it's like to live in 'hardship' while I have to go to work EARLY IN THE MORNING everyday to earn minimum wage?
Third, i know you want to be Prince too, boy, but your mother didn't get married to a Prince (that, and she gave birth to a dimwit), so blame her.
Don't you want to be a royal too? Unless you yourself are one, why are you willing to keep on paying for his extravagant lifestyle? He should be a janitor, pharmacist, or whatever that doesn't pertain to royalty. This is why this insane institution needs to be abolished so no one can dream of being them and no one is above the law.
Fourth, even if he hasn't got ANY of the problems ordinary people face (which is impossible), he has plenty of other problems too, like, having your mother killed by the paparrazi and then having to spend your whole life dealing with the same paparazzi that just would not leave you alone?
I just wonder if he can abdicate his title and give it me I hope. Not going to happen. -

You said, "His family is rich not because you pay them, but because they own many properties."
It's because they and their ancestors stole them.
You said, "To be jealous and bitter that they came from rich families just makes you a pathetic loser."
I am just jealous because this prince used mainly his birth to live in luxury.
You said, "The King of Commonwealth just gets to stand there and look pretty and be hounded by the paparrazi."
What's the country's gain then?
You said, "Lastly, no, i don't want to be a Royal, because i still love my mum and my privacy. If i want money, i'll work for it instead of bemoaning about my parentage. Guess that doesn't apply to you."
When it comes to privacy, you can always come up with a disguise. But that privacy factor, you don't have to worry about a mortgage. I guess William analyzed the cost vs benefits and found his benefits (acquiring luxury through birth) outweight the costs (popularity). Speaking of popularity, Pippa Middleton's 'hugging' dress seemed to attract more attention than her sister during that wedding. So, the benefits outweigh it even more. -

unknownunknowns post is hilarious! What has he done that makes him smart? Smart? Maybe his 'smartness' just comes naturally. I believe he is presently learning his forth language. He flies a helicopter. He is extremely articulate.
unknownunknowns, why on earth would you think that he is "immune" to problems? What a daft thing to say! Hahahaha! -
unknownunknowns — 14 years ago(May 12, 2011 05:30 PM)
Then I wish he can use his 'smartness' to actually obtain his grandmother's job instead of his genetics. I say immune because doesn't have to be evicted from his own home if he did not pay his rent, and that's why I wish I can have his lifestyle.

Why are you picking on this guy? There are plenty of people in this world who step into daddy's shoes to work. How about Donald Jnr. and Ivaka Trump, for example. And there are millions you'll never ever hear about. These people, like them or not, are smart. You cannot deny that. They've1354 been to top universities and have tough jobs.
I noticed that you didn't comment on the fact that William flies a helicopter. Not your average job and one that takes a lot of brains.
You say he is immune to the possibility of being evicted from his own house. Another hilarious, uneducated comment. How many royals in this world do you think have been evicted from their homes? The royal families of Iran, Nepal, Greece, Romania, Russia, Sikkim, Laos, and many more. And how often do the British royal family have to listen to so many Brits continually saying they want a republic. Down with the monarchy! Kick them out! Bla Bla Bla! That is the same as eviction. -

I'm picking on not just him but this institution as a whole because why have all of these nice fancy titles in this day in age?
Sure there's a lot to criticize of the Trumps but at least they needed to work and not rely on me and the others the taxpayers while how did the Queen and her ancestor acquired all of their property? If they worked, then good.
When it comes to eviction, the point I made was Price William doesn't have to worry about paying the mortgage or the rent so he can't be vulnerable to eviction. So why does he have to not worry about that while we do? The other royal families you mentioned were evicted because the public found them to be oppressive and/or useless.
You English commoners are insane for letting them live like that.
