The United States fought a long and bloody war to do away with the British monarchy and establish a republic—but that might not be the impression you'd get if you looked at the line-up of some of the most popular television shows in the country right now.

These are just the latest convergence of television shows about the British monarchy.
Nancy Koehn, James E. Robison Chair of Business Administration at the Harvard Business School, joined Jim Braude and Margery Eagan to talk through why they are part of the zeitgeist and why we remain fascinated with the royal family.
