I suspect many readers of this blog are as wearied as I am from being bombarded with news headlines about the the Windsor family’s internal fights. It seems like it never ends.
This 11-year-old clip from the Australian sketch comedy team The Chasers pokes well-deserved ridicule at the media’s obsession with the most trivial details about that annoying family. And that was long before the current media binge about whatever the hell is the latest topic in this long-running soap opera.
Yeah, media obsessed with the royals, and bloggers obsessed with the obsession!
We also sell magazines at my bookstore, and it seems to me that there are far fewer covers of King Chucky 3 than there used to be of Lizzy 2.
All this, just to distract attention from his paedo uncle. Boy’s a hero. /s
It’s The Chaser, not The Chasers. And they’re not (primarily) bloggers, nor particularly obsessed with the royals.

“are as wearied as I am from being bombarded with news headlines about ….”
More than you, because I read online Dutch newspapers and hence get bombarded with news headlines about the Dutch royal family as well. Plus I am as desinterested in positive news about royals.

Just went through the grocery checkout and Harry is still trending. Must be some one is interested.
Other than the occasional reference to the head of state as Charles III and not Elizabeth II the mainstream press does not seem to have noticed.
The real test is when the King’s head appears on the coinage.
