I don't understand the obsession and attention given. Didn't we fight an entire war or two to be free from this Monarchy?

No.
Basically most of those interested are women. I don't know of many men who give a rat's hindquarters about them.

But I would assume more females because of their interest in reality TV, which feature a lot of no-talent nobodies who become famous by virtue of someone aiming a camera at them. My wife is a guilty party. I'll hear people on TV arguing and making a scene, walk into the room and she's watching "Housewives" of some location, all bickering. I seriously will never understand it. The royals are just another shade of the same thing.

The anti-federalists actually argued that the Constitution was effectively creating a monarchy (based on the powers granted to the president).

That said, I don't quite get the attention either, but then again I don't get the attention paid to the Kardashians, but apparently people care enough about them that Keeping Up with the Kardashians ran for over a decade. People just pay attention to celebrities.
