Why were so many Americans interested in the marriage of Prince William to Kate Middleton?
Or weren’t, if you believe many of their bloggers, who think it’s was all a media conspiracy to drum up ratings. (actual 28.2m live & ~100m total)
But to forget such cynics (who don’t seem to like anything, accept maybe their own supposed importance), the plausible reasons given are:
Because they wanted to see the nearest thing you can get to a fairy tale wedding.
The pomp and pageantry that the British excel at.
Many of their girls like to imagine themselves marrying a Prince.
They can identify with a desire to collectively bond.
A feel good factor to escape the constant barrage of bad news.
To get ideas for their own wedding.
That America and Britain share a common DNA and have strong cultural, economic, political ties, they both want to know what interests the other.
However one obvious reason never mentioned is, there are Americans deprived since The American Revolution of what would have been their Royal Family.
