Just an off the wall question?

What is America's fascination with Meghan Merkle?

I'm going through the news... I peruse all the various outlets, I like to get the various slants on what's going on out there...

Example, This gal could wear a green belt with a red dress and there will be 40 different articles and various outlets trying to discern the hidden meaning behind it... Really?

It just bogles my mind... the utter fascination...

1. I'd much rather read about her than that vapid Kardashian family.

She's a pretty American woman living a princess life, I guess that's why? Personally I find Hillary Clinton more fascinating, but that's just me.

2. The whole royalty and 'celebrity' thing is nutty

I do my best to either ignore all of it or make fun of it. But it was worse with Princess Dianna’s life. then death. You’d have thought a god died, the way the media carried on. ugh.

3. Self fulfilling post....

Hadn’t heard or thought about her in months....thanks for bringing her back

4. I imagine it's much the same as it was w/ Grace Kelly..

... but maybe even more so because Merkle wasn't a celebrity. A "Cinderella" story, I guess.

But to be fair, there seems to be a fascination about what famous people wear anyway. Think about it. There is usually two to three hours of "red carpet" coverage before any awards ceremony even starts.

I don't really get it either but there are throngs of people obsessed with royalty and other celebs.

6. Rachel Zane

But I'm still a little ticked that Meghan Merkle had to marry a prince and exit Suits. lol
