Also, R. Lee Ermey, though I don't have a source for that one.

Ermey's passing was confirmed via his Facebook/Twitter accounts. 72 years old, pneumonia -- unfortunate and by all accounts totally unexpected, but a hell of a run.

I love it.
When Harry Anderson used to shop at Zanadu Comics' university district store location in Seattle, he liked to attempt the same cash pranks that his "Harry the Hat" used on CHEERS. He did it often enough that the owner warned all his cashiers! Truly a character, on and off stage.— John Jackson Miller (@jjmfaraway) April 17, 2018

Where does this fascination with British royal family come from, Stan?
― (Henry) Green container bin with face (Tom D.), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 18:08 (six years ago) link
I know that the queen, like many other people, loves her dogs, but fucked if I know why anyone else would care about them.
― mfktz (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Wednesday, 18 April 2018 18:09 (six years ago) link
I don't actually know - maybe it's because some belgian newspapers and magazines want the number of visitors and controversial/stupid commenters that the daily mail has (because of the clicks), so they shamelessly steal a lot of those stories. There's a disproportionately large number of meghan and harry stories in there as well, for instance, even though even less people care about them over here than in the uk.

The British care about their royalty so that the French can continue making fun of them.

Oh, nm. They have royalty of their own, though. Do Danes and Swedes and Spaniards care as well?

characterising Brits as ppl that care about royalty is as false as saying all French ppl sleep with their high-school teachers:p

More like they care more than they'd like to admit or they would've gotten rid of them long ago.

To be fair, that's less ridiculous than English Canadians' inexplicable attachment to the British crown (only 4/10 support severing ties after the queen's death).

I don't think YouGov would ever publish a poll with data from regions of the country where a reasonably large chunk of the population loathe them, or want them abolished. That wouldn't be of any use to them.
