As we count down the days to our country’s celebration of its independence, the irony is not wasted on us that American interest in royalty—yes, the system the US fought to escape—is hitting a high. Take Princess Diana, whose most famous jewels are attracting wealthy collectors who seek a connection to the late royal, or her sons William and Harry, whose days at Eton remain a source of great nostalgia. Even fictional monarchies are having a moment—just look at all the Game of Thrones spin-offs coming down the pike. Or maybe it’s not an irony at all? Like the infamous Fyre Festival, the aristocracy is most enjoyable when viewed from afar—and if 250 years of democracy doesn’t give you some royal distance, what will?

Speaking of the noble class, drag sovereign RuPaul’s responses to VF’s Proust Questionnaire are a marvel to behold, especially the much-shared answer to “Which living person do you most despise?” I won’t spoil the reply, just check it out.
