I've had to swear off one of my favorite recreations -- reading the British press online -- until we move past 2018's most over-hyped event, the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle.
For years I was an Anglophile who also looked benignly on the British royal family, despite its increasing irrelevance as the gene pool became shallower and shallower.
Given the royal family's final descent into celebritization, it's no wonder Harry and Meghan's every move, every outfit, every family dysfunction attracts the media's attention as if, say, they were Beyonce and Justin Bieber, as if the marriage affected any aspect of the public's life beyond curiosity.
