I think that hardcore celebrity gossip definitely does have a subcultures quality to it, and I think royals stuff is - at least in part - a subset of hardcore celebrity gossip.

I agree about hardcore celebrity gossip, but I think it's partially limited by it's subject. You could very well know nothing about any stars, even the most famous ones, so there's a specific engagement required there for even non-hardcore gossip. I don't think that's necessarily true (or the same kind of true) about the people with power in a political system, where the personal is quite literally political, and therefore it is of political interest for other people with power to legit make up stories about them.

I take your point but I think it's kind of unclear how true this is for the British royal family specifically where, to say the least, most if not all of their political power is based on reputation and image anyway

I do think it's a little weirder in the sort of global state of affiars, where monarchies don't feel like modern institutions, so interest in them has taken a different tone. I certainly don't think the Diana musical or that prince george cartoon could have possibly have been made in an era in which the british monarchy was taken seriously.
