Impossible to escape the saturated coverage, unless you can escape to a remote island, and even then, there's a chance they'll turn up on honeymoon
Just wait for the first 'royal gaffe' and she'll be dubbed the Countess of Dumb by the ragtops
As for me, I'll take in the service but probably end up shooting the telly when Fiona Bruce appears... again |  |

I’ve never really understood the appeal but it does seem to make people happy. Got to feel sorry for Lizzie though sat there watching an African American preacher drone on in front of an audience full of pointless talentless fake celebs like that lard bucket James corden as a once great institution becomes yet another box ticking excercise for “diversity” no wonder she had a face like a slapped arse for the entire ceremony. |  | | |

I'm looking forward to 442's review of the kit/dress and some "as the bishop said to the actress" jokes.  |  | | |

The bride's mother is African American. Or are you claiming the whole marriage a box-ticking exercise? |  |

The monarchy has survived through constant adaptation, surely that's a pretty obvious lesson of history that your statement seems to ignore?
I mean, at what point was it great? When Ol' Henery was chopping his wives up?
Totally agree about Corden though! | |

I can’t say the whole marriage is as they look a very in love couple but the wedding did come across that way. I actually felt sorry for the Mother sat there all alone. What was that about? Personally speaking the royals generate enough cash for themselves through their own businesses so let them fund their own lavish lifestyle and security. Basically Royalists today are waxing lyrical over a celebrity wedding. Let them fund themselves and sell the rights and pictures to Hello magazine. | | | |

Historically speaking yes the Monarchy was probably at its greatest and most regal at the time right through the Protestant reformation till after the battle of the Boyne. The royal family have been relegated to pointless celebrity. The best excuse that royalists use to keep them is they bring in tourists. Despite the fact that there is no evidence to suggest that tourists wouldn’t come anyway. | | | |

Spent most of the day at the coast, leaving at 1130 and just playing CDs in the car so im happy to say i missed every single second of this latest freak show by Britains most dysfunctional family. This outdated nonsense belongs in the middle ages, not 2018.
Abolish the monarchy. |  | | |

Have to agree about the cellist, a 19yo black prodigy from Nottingham - Britain at it's best, in the sunshine, with it's celebration of diversity for all the world to see
And a great performance by the US choral group of "Stand By Me" |
Was listening to the cello whilst driving. Sounded like a funeral dirge. Suicide music. |  | | |

And yet, it was a wedding, and hugely celebratory. It fitted in perfectly with the rest of the service whilst the register was being signed
Says more about you than the music, incomprehension personified | |

Thanks. Still thought it was depressing to listen to. If watching, perhaps better? By the way, what does it say about me? | | | |

You're right, it was perfect whilst watching
What it says is that you chose to make a negative comment about something which you didn't have the context
Entirely unnecessary | |

Didn't bother watching any of it, good luck to them and all but wasn't the slightest bit interested. What intrigues me though, is the comments I read about the 'celeb' guest list afterwards referring to 'Victoria' looking miserable, how 'David' could do so much better, 'George' is looking old, etc. as if people actually know and are on first name terms with these non-entities. I can never get my head around the fascination for celebrity culture and caring about somebody you've never met, are never likely to meet and would probably look at you like a piece of shit on their shoe if you did meet. Why do people care so much about their lives? | | | |

Because it puts a bit of gloss on their otherwise dull and pointless lives. As for Victoria smiling, the next time will be the the first time.
I don't wish them any harm but they truly are an irrelevance in 2018.
Anyway I missed all of it being out in the middle of nowhere in Spain. Ditto the FA Cup Final. | | | |

I suppose for some people celebrity watching is their hobby
To someone who doesn't like sport, 22 men chasing a ball to kick it into a net would seem pointless as would millions of people paying to watch it ( for example thousands of Liverpool fans will be paying thousands of pounds to travel to Kiev for 90 minutes)
Each to their own I suppose but not for me either |  | | |

Spent the day on the beach in st ives, then sat outside the pub, had a 'raging coq' burger and went back to my apartment. Not one second was spent watching any Royal pr exercise |  |

I’m just thinking that with the FA Cup result he’s probably regretting not marrying his ex Chelsea Davy. I just think Britain overlooked something there, what with Ray Wilkins and that. [Post edited 20 May 2018 20:31]

Is that like a massive hot dog or summat?

But it does prompt two more general thoughts:
1. If a royal wedding can be almost perfectly organised, why can't the same apply to other aspects of national life - the health service, housing, transport, education etc.?
2. And why do free marketeers never come up with schemes to privatise the royal family? |
In answer to your first point, moneys no object when it comes to the royal family. The NHS, housing, transport, education are constantly underfunded while that shower of unelected inbreds continue to live a life of luxury a million miles away from reality as the mass media continues to worship them.
Privatising would be a step in the right direction but it will never happen.
Abolish the monarchy. | | | |
