The Royal Family

The Royal Family's top 10 nearest neighbors span journalists, politicians, TV personalities, and government bodies — with no single dominant pull and scores compressed into a narrow band from 0.80 down to 0.77.

The shape is flat: the CIA leads at 0.80, followed closely by Meghan McCain (0.79) and James Corden (0.79), but none of these neighbors stands meaningfully apart from the rest. The cluster is defined less by any one anchor than by its subcategory composition: journalists and politicians account for the majority of the top 10, with S.E. Cupp (0.79), Brian Williams (0.78), and Kirsten Powers (0.77) among the journalists, and John Boehner (0.78) representing the politicians. The remaining slots go to government organizations — CIA and the National Security Agency (0.77) — plus Buzz Aldrin (0.78) and Savannah Guthrie (0.77) as government official and TV personality respectively.

Notably, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge — the only neighbor sharing the Royal Family's own institutional orbit — does not appear until well outside the top 10 in the similarity data shown here. The audience that follows The Royal Family looks, in shape, like an audience that also follows American political media and government institutions rather than other royals or ceremonial figures.

This flat, cross-kind pattern suggests an audience defined by broad civic and news engagement rather than concentrated interest in any single domain.
