They seem a nice couple and I wish them luck, they will need it.
But I wish the wedding was in private somewhere out of view of the world.
I won't be watching it but the extra day off is a bonus.

They are going to trot this couple by every tourist site in London someone said, saying the route must have been drawn up by the London Tourist Board.
Q - will Prince Andrew, if he is still a prince by then, attend and if so with who?
This is a Royal Farce the type of which IMO belongs in the Middle Ages.
What a joke - the British Royal Family in modern times!
Where is Oliver Cromwell when Brits need him?

I don;t know why people are complaining - the royal Family is doing their job of being a major tourist attraction.
And at least in this case they aren't sacrificing the last virgin left in the country to a clueless clod in love with another woman.

Harry looks like a Windsor--look at pix of The Queenl Mum, or even Charles now that he's older. The red hair is from the Spencers (the supposed remark Charles made at his birth--"oh no, he's got red hair" which is a SPencer trait. Look at Diana's sister, the one who also dated Charles.
No enterprising trash journalist compares the DNA b/c it would put an end to all gossip--and that is the trash journalists' bread and butter.

We have a week booked in London starting on May 21 - we were holding our breath and hoping the wedding didn't coincide with our trip. Couldn't think of anything worse. Thank goodness it will all be over and done with by the time we get there.

A public holiday weekend - especially an extended one - tends to see a lot of people worshipping at one of the many shrines to DIY. Or down the pub.
Neither of which is incompatible with casting a glance at the TV for a while, of course, but no-one knows what else people are doing at the same time.

< the royal Family is doing their job of being a major tourist attraction.
"I dream of the day when Britain joins the modern world and drops this kind of nonsense."
Still, it brings in the tourists (Americans).>
I wonder if these sentiments is not a classic case of if someone repeats something enough folks will believe it and then repeat it as fact
Where are the facts to support the tenous IMO theory that Americans will stop flocking to Britain if the royals were no longer officially royal?
YOu could still have sundry things like the Changing of the Guard - B Palace guards, etc and the royal trappings without actually having them officially be royals (i e the Head of State)
And Americans will continue to flock to Britain regarless of whrether there are roayls or not IMO
IMO this canard about the royals bringing in Americans is just a nuch of nonsense and actually belittling to Americans.
