What do people think of the British Royal Family? For those of us who grew up without ridiculous monarchies why do have to keep hearing about them in the news?

I don’t think about them at all. I just think many people have an unhealthy obsession with famous people.

I'm obsessed by the history of the monarchy. I read and watch period pieces, documentaries and dramas, doesn't matter as long as it's pre 1900.

The current one are a bore and not worth my time.

Please do. Would be fun to trade notes.

I can't believe something so undemocratic is allowed and celebrated in 21st century. Not to mention they got wealthy by exploiting others. Dont get it st all why say english are so into heir royalty, let alone Scotts or Irish.

I think it's asinine that they still exist and am shocked that taxpayers haven't demanded they be dissolved/overthrown.

It’s all monarchies I have issue with. The idea that one family should be Lord and King because they were able to decimate and destroy others. We are to celebrate the barbarism instead of holding them accountable is beyond comprehension, but then again we are ok planet earth where anything and everything goes.

Hmmm. Haven’t Americans grown up with Roosevelts, Kennedys and, dare I say, Trumps? Let’s throw in the Kardashians, too. Somehow I think you understand.

No comparison.

Every time I open the news, there’s multiple stories about Harry and his wife. How is this news?! Who the fuck cares?! Make it stop!!

Exactly.

Tourist attraction, sense of national continuity, celebrity appeal, diplomatic role (soft power).

Enrolled in Stern for a few weeks.

Stern is way more than a finance school. Given its location, do you want to spend your 2 years in a rural area or heart of Manhattan? Location is almost everything for business school. (I have a friend in Cornell that frequently travels about 5 hours to NYC for events.)

I have been talking to a recruiter for a little over a month about a position. I let her know out the gate that I really wasn’t looking to change jobs, but she just kept wanting to continuing the conversation. I didn’t have 2 interviews with the hiring coming and they know that I am not really looking to make a switch. They are now working on an offer letter and I know they’re going to offer me more money. I’m having my annual review this week. Any advice on how to handle a) job offer b) review?
