Why are Queen Elizabeth, Prince Charles and the rest of the Royal Family so popular, that literally the whole world is always eager to know the latest happenings in their life?

Whether you’re a fanatic or not you must admit that somehow there was a time in your life when a certain story caught your interest, enough to take some of your time from your so called busy schedule to read and know more.

Recent reports that hit the international news was when :

A window cleaner was hired to work on Prince Charles’ new £1.3million estate - despite being a convicted burglar.

Royal aides paid Matthew Bell, 35, £1,200 for the two-day job just before Charles and Camilla moved in - and now plan to use him monthly.

However, no one carried out a basic background investigation that would have revealed his TWO spells in jail.

In 2003 Matthew got nine months for a break-in.

Last year he served 21 days for snubbing a road conviction fine.

The dad-of–two, of Llandeilo, West Wales, set up cleaning firm Inside and Out this year and insisted he was reformed. He said: “I’m a changed man and I’ve worked bloody hard for this.

“I did an absolutely beautiful job up there and nothing went missing.

“Prince Charles has talked of offenders being given a second chance. Now it’s his chance to give me one.”

“I’m not going to lie to them about my past but nobody asked me.”

Matthew said locals were happy to wipe the slate clean. His 300 clients include two nursing homes.

He said: “I told everyone I was a burglar but they admired me for my honesty and no one turned me away.”

A spokesman for the prince said: “He was employed on a contract basis following a recommendation. He was under supervision at all times.”

Now, why would such simple news as that attract millions (I presume millions ) of viewers (including me)? When in fact there are far more serious stuffs that need our attention.

Well, whether I like it or I still like it…since childhood, fairy tales are my favorite stories, where kings and queens and the likes are the main characters. And once in a while it’s good to relive those Magical stories. And even if the stories of our modern day Queen and Prince are not always splendid. It still feels good to hear Royal Stories, besides; we only have but few Royal Families around in this world.

And, I think their life is very difficult, even if they do not have state powers anymore, the duty of upholding traditions and giving inspiration to many people is not that easy - so much for my dream to become a princess someday!
