Madonna has said it is a shame the royal family aren’t revered like movie stars any more.
She told Grazia magazine she thinks royality such as Prince William and Kate Middleton should be treated like A-listers, not ambassadors for the country.
I think the royal family of the ’30s and ’40s were the stars of their day.
Edward VIII was really like a movie star.
People were in love with him.
Now, with the royals, their role in society seems to be reduced to being ambassadors.
I think it’s a shame.
I like the old-fashioned way.
But royal fan Madonna admitted she doesn’t move in the same circles as the Windsors.
I don’t get invited to any of their parties!
