While listening to all the media hype over the pending royal wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton, I became possessed. The synapses in my brain had pieced together a patchwork of historical facts, causing my thoughts to race wildly.
First, I recalled words from the U.S. Constitution stating, “No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States.” Sure, this applies to titles within the U.S., but the message still rings loud and clear: royalty is an affront to democracy. Didn’t we revolt to escape the tyranny of royalty and nobility? Is the media disrespecting our founders by popularizing royal events?
