I’ve heard rumors that Americans are obsessed with the royals whereas most Brits would actually like to see the royal hierarchy abolished entirely.

Their royal love story is beautiful and their happiness is infectious. Plus, they’ve pretty much dedicated their life to supporting cool causes and events.

The royals received a standing ovation when they took their seats at the show, according to Mirror UK, and were then promptly teased by host Stephen Fry for their distant relationship to EastEnders star Danny Dyer.

During a Facebook Live session ahead of the BAFTA Awards, nominee Viola Davis was asked if she thought the royals appearance at the show would upstage the actors. She promptly responded, “I don’t care.”
