Ahh yes, nothing more lively and current than watching senior citizens coo over monarchs.

In all seriousness, this is just another step towards instagram being another bland reflection of the media fun house in which we all live: famous people get air time to pimp products and movements.

Instagram is a mainstream everything-is-an-ad site and has been since I've first heard of it.

You underestimate the reach here. When it comes to Prince Harry and Meghan, it's like saying only senior citizens care about the Kardashians.

Nobody in this situation is a monarch or ever likely to be a monarch.

The term was used incorrectly, but to me it's obvious what they meant: non-functioning political celebrities.
