[quote=Anonymous]The majority of people don't care one way or another about any celebrity.

There is only a small minority of people who think fit to have opinions on public figures they have never met, or met such few times that they really should not pass judgement on who these public figures really are.

Of this minority, yes, there are racists and classists who treat some celebrities differently, mostly because they dare to have opinions and and push back against societal expectations. A multiracial small-bit American actress marrying a Prince, and daring to take offense at her less-than-ideal welcome? It's at once the stuff of legend and incredibly aspirational, and also disgusting because the white British wife of the Crown Prince found ways to always behave with due decorum, even though she, too, as been criticized for her family's commoner origins - and never mind that she's been too thin for years and obviously suffers from stress.

I have a lot of sympathy for the wives of Prince William and Prince Harry. I think they are both good and decent human beings, who are simply trying to do what's best in circumstances when someone, somewhere, is always going to criticize them. I wish them and their families well.
