The same goes for the divine right of kings, primogeniture and the House of Lords. When I say these things make me feel American, I mean that I disapprove of them. The specific hereditary privileges I'm speaking of have to do with ruling nations, siring of heirs and beheading two of your six wives even though you just invented divorce a few years earlier. As Americans, we try \u003cem>really hard\u003c/em> not to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you may have guessed, this has something to do with HRH Royal Baby Boy Windsor As Yet Unnamed (HRH RBBWAYU). Let's just get this out of the way before going any further: I'm sure he's \u003cem>lovely.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, it's less about HRH RBBWAYU (I promise that's the last time I'll use that) than it is the international media's attention to his birth. In that demographic, I also include said media's audiences, specifically here in the United States and other monarchy-free nations. Breathless, suspenseful, respectfully informative of monarchical traditions and laws, it was the best television pageantry since parents Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge were wed two years ago. Or wait, maybe I meant the Queen's Royal Jubilee? Or maybe an especially good year at Ascot? Or, what was the wedding before that, or was it a state funeral? My point is, royalty (in this case, the English) are very good at pageantry and spectacle to the point where the celebrations almost run together in the collective unconscious. Royals are good at pageants and the media is very good at adding their own level of spectacle. And did I mention, the public is really good at consuming it?

Photo: Oli Scarff/Getty Images\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>There's something about the concept of hereditary privilege that just makes me feel... extremely American. The same goes for the divine right of kings, primogeniture and the House of Lords. When I say these things make me feel American, I mean that I disapprove of them. The specific hereditary privileges I'm speaking of have to do with ruling nations, siring of heirs and beheading two of your six wives even though you just invented divorce a few years earlier. As Americans, we try \u003cem>really hard\u003c/em> not to do that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As you may have guessed, this has something to do with HRH Royal Baby Boy Windsor As Yet Unnamed (HRH RBBWAYU). Let's just get this out of the way before going any further: I'm sure he's \u003cem>lovely.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, it's less about HRH RBBWAYU (I promise that's the last time I'll use that) than it is the international media's attention to his birth. In that demographic, I also include said media's audiences, specifically here in the United States and other monarchy-free nations. Breathless, suspenseful, respectfully informative of monarchical traditions and laws, it was the best television pageantry since parents Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge were wed two years ago. Or wait, maybe I meant the Queen's Royal Jubilee? Or maybe an especially good year at Ascot? Or, what was the wedding before that, or was it a state funeral? My point is, royalty (in this case, the English) are very good at pageantry and spectacle to the point where the celebrations almost run together in the collective unconscious. Royals are good at pageants and the media is very good at adding their own level of spectacle. And did I mention, the public is really good at consuming it?
