Who do you think you are...the Queen of England?

Monarchies have ruled the world for centuries and one Royal Family in particular has been in the news a lot recently. The Royal Wedding in which Kate Middleton and Prince William tied the knot was possibly the most talked about piece of news in the 21st Century. The interest was dramatically heightened due to Kate Middleton coming from a commoners background and marrying into the most well known family on the planet. America has not and never will have a Royal Family, so why with all of the interest on "this side of the pond"?

In this assignment, you will click here and watch the video and read the news article pertaining to the Royal Family and the upcoming Royal Wedding. After that, answer the following questions in a discussion post. Be sure to answer each question thoroughly and concisely. You may answer in a paragraph format or answer each question separately.

1. What are your feelings about the Royal Family?
2. Why is America putting so much attention to the Royal Family and the Royal Wedding? Do you agree with this attention?
3. Do you feel America should have a monarchy? Why or why not?
