There's an unhealthy obsession in America with royalty and the class system.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Upper class to me means you are either born into wealth or you're Royalty.
Everything is about class in England, whether it's upper, lower or middle. Why should that be?
In other countries they have histories with revolutions and class movements. In America, people don't like to think of themselves like being in a lower class. They all like to think of themselves as potential millionaires.
It's the middle class that feels the luxury of being able to have causes.
The monarchy is foremost a business, and it's important to them that the British public continue to finance the excessive luxurious lifestyles of the now quite enormous, wasteful and useless 'royal' family. I find it very sad.
Members of royal families are born into a world of indulgence and entitlement, and the princelings who grow up that way may never have to develop any discipline.
Class still matters in Britain today.
If you look at the British royal family and take away the scandals and the goofy stuff that's going on, people love to have this king to look up to - the royals are like celebrities.
It's as if we live in a house which has a vast treasury in one of its rooms. Only we've forgotten about it. So, instead of living a life of royalty, we go about in poverty.
In the U.K., there is a sort of obsession with class.
