To be honest I don't give a flying ****! [PLEASE FULLY STAR OUT SWEARIES]

TV is rubbish as it is, having every single news channel following it as well as having specials is just a joke: this isn't 1950 anymore......
 
Ahh, didn't know this, thanks for letting me know (although it was the worst kept secret in the kingdom... :p)

Thing is is is technically sloidifying a future queen, which is why it's quite big news, slightly more than say an engagement between two celebrities.
 
Couldn't give the faintest toss about the hole thing, lucky I don't watch TV really.

Also Amp, why would this be "solidifying" a future queen exactly?
 
Since the Royals are such strict traditionalists - I'm assuming the bride's parents are picking up the tab? The WHOLE tab, including the smokescreen that is usually thrown across security costs when trying to make the royal family seem cost effective?

Not really, it's big news about your future king and his wife to be. I don't see you jumping around when other big stories are on and there are slight schedule changes. Surely there isn’t anything that important on the TV that you’ll miss or am I missing something?

Solidifying is probably the wrong word really, however as she is going to marry a future King that makes her a future Queen. Essentially we have just had a future queen named. Quite a big event IMO.:)

Because a President would need less security? ;)
 
I think the only fair way to have a royal family is to randomly allocate a new person as the monarch every day, to give taxpayers the best chance of benefiting from the money that they pay towards the royal family. I therefore think the press coverage over this event is a massive sham and an insult to fairness.

Its interesting, its History in the making. The futue of our future King is important to the nation whether or not people care.

Why is the future of our king important to the nation anymore?

Would it really have any effect on us at all? (other than tasteless porcelain china)
 
Really pleased for William and Kate. They both seem very decent down to earth people, wish them the best.
 
they should make the royals pay for the whole thing including the security, bet the taxpayer ends up paying millions for the policing of such an event
