The W.E. filmmaker Madonna thinks monarchs of the past were like celebrities to the public, whereas these days the ruling family are simply viewed as “ambassadors”.
She said, “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 in a way. I like the old-fashioned way.”
Although Princess Beatrice was a guest at the W.E. premiere party last week, Madonna insists she is not friends with royalty.
Asked if she knows the current royals, she told Grazia magazine, “I don’t really. I don’t get invited to any of their parties!”
Madonna also discussed her belief that growing up without wealth gave her more of an appreciation of the value of money. She said, “I think when you have to earn your way in the world, you have a completely different outlook.”
