Two British monthly magazines that do nothing but follow the royal family are finding the United States market even more fertile than their home country's. Majesty and Royalty Monthly each sell more than 40,000 copies per issue in the United States, according to Disticor, which distributes both publications. That is significantly more than the number sold in Britain.
