Could it be Diversification??=ap pealing to a wide audience=RT is seen in the US thats why we have many US citizens posting here.I know the US is always interested in the Royal Family[not me] >if it was always hard-nose news RT might lose some US viewers=every news paper in the World have fun pages[no not the serious ones] So RT is just going with the flow.To increase the number of viewers .I do understand where you are coming from but it seems to be RT policy of which I have many times come up against but thats life and you have to tailor your suite to suite the situation.This is just a neutral view. 

Why is it that this 'drivel' of an article such as this has been here for days while on the other hand important geo-political articles with interesting posts disappear in a matter of minutes...?????

RT cannot be a Russian News agency it is strange and bizarre when dealing with many world issues. I smell the odour of the American Skunk at work.....

Like the Title RT=Queen of England.Scotland is a nation unto itself and there has always been an argument in Scotland about the number of a King or Queen of England as Scotland had its own Kings and Queens so the whether it was say James the First or Second always caused an argument up here.And no there will be no more Scottish Royalty if we gain independence=Strictl y a Socialist country.
