The royal treatment

A media obsession

Sir, – Jennifer O’Connell asks “Why are so many people obsessed with Meghan Markle?” (Opinion & Analysis, September 24th). My question is slightly different. Why are so many journalists obsessed with the British royal family? After all, we only read it because it is in the paper. So, give us a rest until Christmas and then we can listen to the king’s speech. – Yours, etc,
