The British Royal family and the American Kardashian’s share numerable things in common. In America, the Kardashians have been referred to as America’s Royal Family. Sometimes people wonder whether this is just a mere coincidence.
The first and the most conspicuous similarity is that both families are run by women, meaning that the descent of power is from one woman to the other. This is not all, there are other numerous similarities between these families as discussed further.
1. Both are matriarch families
Queen and Kris.-marieclaire.com

Media interest.-marieclaire.com
These families never pass without the notice of the lenses of cameras. Photos of them are taken daily as they attend shows, national events, or just leaving their houses to attend to the normal day to day businesses.
Well trained media personalities
Meghan Markle.-womansown.co.uk
Their tendencies of appearing in unplanned camera shots necessitate that both have basic media skills. Sometimes they are even asked questions on their way to other events. They have gotten used to abrupt interviews and shows, hence the need to learn how to deal with media. It was a plus for Meghan Markle to have featured in TV shows and movies. Otherwise, she would have had a terribly difficult time coping with the new lifestyle.
Their PR has suffered a blow at one point

While everyone else enjoys privacy, these two families don’t. Their life is more of a public spectacle than a private affair. There was an uproar when Kim posted a snap on social media with ‘Bo Derek Braids’. This did not go well with most of her followers and the general public at large, who termed this as cultural appropriation. Prince Harry was photographed in a scanty outfit and like Kim’s case, people were not happy with that.
Divorce cases in both families
Public divorce.-marieclaire.com
It cannot be forgotten that Prince Charles divorced with Princess Diana (late). To make the matters worse, leaking their phone conversations to the media was a grievous mistake. In the Kardashians, Kim divorced Kris Humphries after three days of marriage. The public is blamed for exaggerating the divorced, killing even the smallest hope of salvaging the union.
They have bodyguards
