Good point jacqui c. But I still wonder what the need is to flock to royalty like this? The two biggest funerals in history were Diana and John Paul II.

And now that I think of it, we saw the same sick attraction to the death of JFK Jr & his wife and sister-in-law. Not much mention in the international press, much less the American press, but the same ghoulish rituals are currently being acted out in Monaco.

There is a lot of royal celebrity worshipping in the world, and it doesn't seem to have anything to do with the royal celebrity being from the nation of the worshipper either, thanks to the miracle of modern TV.
