Probably for the same reason there are so many Americans who revere so-called "American royalty". Michele Obama attended the Mrs Carter Show World Tour in Chicago.
Just heard on the radio that London is experiencing excrutiatingly hot weather, but people are standing outside the hospital waiting for the so called "Royal Baby" to pop out. Why do they think that any baby is any more royal than any other? Why do they revere these people that have the same bodily fluids running thru their anatomy as everyone else. This entire "Royal Family" nonsense just strikes me as so bizarre in this day and age. Just as ridiculous as Hollywood star worship...maybe even more so. Does the royal afterbirth hold magical powers? What a crock!
Why do you care that they care? Or do you just enjoy being the token downer? Let people enjoy what they want and you can keep not enjoying it.

Some are just a tad bitter- even me the old curmudgeon is happy to hear a child has just been born...about half an hour ago...I think I will go have a look at the chaos on Youtube.
No different than our media following the Obamas on their Martha's Vineyard trip. Oh boy he's riding a bike in his mom jeans....so cool, lol.
True. And look at the hideous media attention that was given the kardashian baby and that whole family of prostitutes who got their start in celebrity by releasing a porn flick. At least the british royal family has some class and dignity.
As much as some US media would like to pretend that the difference is due to the Obamas living it up (because we all know how those sorts of people are once they get money, don't we?), it is a frivolous comparison. To get at the 1.4 billion figure, the author had to add in stuff like operating and maintaining Air Force One and Marine One, the cost of the Secret Service detail, and such debunked anecdotes like the dog walker - which turned out to be a figment of enraged imaginations.
Whereas the British Royals have a serious fortune amassed over centuries and don't need the apparatus surrounding the head of government of a superpower.

Excuuuuse me. The audacity I have for questioning the absurd reverence some people have for a monarchy in the 21st century. Archaic nonsense.
