What would happen if Kate and Pippa had been fighting over William? Nadine Jolie Courtney has created a fictional tale called Romancing the Throne around this soap opera-style dilemma. Obsession with the royal family is nothing new, but why is it still so prevalent?
"I think Americans are particularly fascinated with royalty because it's something we don't officially have on this side of the pond: the history, the pomp, the jewels, the status. And, of course, we grew up with fairy tales and especially love a good rags-to-riches story! Although both Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton were already incredibly glamorous in their own ways before they met their princes, the idea that a normal girl can be plucked from obscurity, elevated to the highest stature, and live a glittering, extraordinary life . . . it's the ultimate fantasy," author Nadine Jolie Courtney told POPSUGAR.
