I mentioned inbreeding among the royals earlier. (Although there’s no way this kid sprang from Charles’ loins. He looks just like the major his gold digging mother f___ed.) This article may interest some of you.

If he did, though, does he get to be a Prince again?

I confess I didn't pay much attention to the whole mess. I thought she was good as Rachel, but it sounds like she's a void as a person.
I thought he gave up "something" when he went with her. Maybe it was gossip rag fodder from The New York Times or something. (that was a thinly veiled jab at the Times)

More importantly, can he get that gun collection back?
He gave up being a "working royal." Meaning he gave up the income he was getting from the Monarch, via Parliament. Gave up a bunch of other stuff, too, but that's the main one.
He still has his personal titles, but they're worth nothing.

Then she fits right in with them, eh?
Pretty much, but Harry isn’t like most royals. When he could have just relaxed, he stepped up and served in the Army in Afghanistan as both a forward observer and a helicopter pilot. He also forced it to be kept secret so he could actually serve with his men and not be kept safe on a FOB.
Then, when he got out, he was very active with the Invictus Games. He seemed to actually care.
In that regard, he has my respect as a person, rather than a royal.
As for why Americans in general care about the royals? They’re famous and are frequently reported on. Humans in general gossip about famous people and have since the dawn of civilization.

Royalty is also something we've never had, but a certain segment of our society has always craved.
Think about coverage of the Kentucky Derby. All the people who dress up and go to that thing would absolutely fall over themselves if they could meet a royal, and they'd be even more excited if a title was something they could get themselves. I just finished reading The Demon Of Unrest, which is a lot like The Guns Of August for the US Civil War, and it describes life in 1850s Charleston: it reads exactly like what you'd expect out of England a hundred years before. The rich people there referred to themselves as "the Chivalry" and had the same sense of noblesse oblige that would be familiar to any European nobleman.
Even the modern terms we use reflect this. Boomers were desperate to anoint the Kennedys as a royal family; JFK Jr is, even now, referred to as a "prince." It's wild to me, but understandable. And it's not going away.
