You mean visible abroad. I guess it's because Britain is an Anglosaxon country (relationship to the US) and it's bigger than the other countries you mentioned. More people are familiar with its culture and customs. Plus the British monarchy is more traditional than most continental European monarchies.
^ Exactly. The Dutch monarchy is absolutely visible in the Netherlands too. It's just not as interesting to Americans I guess, they have more of a connection to Britain than to the other European monarchies.
I have never heard of her before. She is charming but not that sexy. Still, she looks much better than Lady Diana (R.I.P.). I think she was very overrated.
Why is that so?
I don't hear to much about the other European monarchs,but eveyone knew about Prince William's wedding.
Because the UK's population is greater than all those countries combined, plus there's the Commonwealth comprising of many nations in which the queen is also head of state.

In Spain the most visible are British royal family (I still don't understand the fascination with this royal family), the Swedish (because of the beauty of the princess and because princess Birgitta is living in Spain) and the Grimaldi.
In recent years the Dutch has gained popularity thanks to Máxima for many reasons, because she has spanish ancestry and she met the Prince in Spain, also many people empathized with her when her father was not allowed to go to her wedding, and because she seems very nice and happy.
But the Danish and Norwegian are not widely know, in fact, the former Italian royal family have a lot more attention.
