Another Royal Wedding looms!

Personally I couldn't give a fig about some bloke who is only famous because he's a minor Royal marrying some random woman who I'd never heard of previously but it's certainly going to be on the news and in the papers now for weeks to come.

Isn't it about time in this day and age for us to move on from this enforced servitude of the class divide from century's ago and let them get wed in private like the rest of 'normal' people do?

Are you going to be excited as to what sort of a dress she will be wearing or who the pageboys will be, or are you like me and wish the whole charade would be completely ignored by the toadying paparazzi and fawning world TV coverage and allow us not to be bothered about it in the slightest - as I expect most of us would prefer?

It has to be better  then Brexit and the  never ending wrangle with the EU.

Not arsed about it. In a way I feel sorry for the lad because they are obliged to get married and produce heirs when with all that cash and kudos he could probably be the playboy of the western world if he wanted. 
She's been around the block a few times and is a bit simpering for my tastes, but she is quite fit. Still not as good as the buffet of babes he could easily have if it wasn't for having to maintain the public persona of "respectability".

Personally I'm not feeling "the enforced servitude of the class divide" in this case, but when all is said and done, it's a great worldwide marketing exercise for UK PLC and the Yanks and others will lap it up even if us Brits are underwhelmed.

I honestly couldn't give a monkeys

A special programme on BBC 1 tonight at 7.30 so you can get in the mood.

You're getting to be a cynical old sod, Sluffy, but there again, I'm fed up with it already. 

The royal engagement that is.

It's a bit of a come down with Harry getting engaged to a second hand used bike. 

Let's hope it doesn't cost us taxpayers much in the charade!

I don't post much these days,and I'm a Republican to boot.
But I have to say,KP,I find your comments distasteful.

I'm sorry Bonce (or any others) if I have offended you with it but I simply can't stand the merry go round with the royal family.

I quite like Harry. He's got a rough edge to him and is more a man of the people than a silver spoon type. He did his time in the army and he seemed to get on well with his fellow squaddies and came across as one of the lads.

Nor can I,KP,and I'm getting a lot of books and dvd's ready,so I can disappear into my bunker,because this is going to be wall to wall puke inducing.
But ''second hand used bike'?
I'm sure she's a very nice woman.

Totally agree Bounce. Just because someone is divorced that should not label them. Not many families have a divorce free family that doesn't make someone a bike.

She needs a good few pies stuffed down her throat she looks annorexic he will cut himself on that.

Hey the guy's apologised give him a break !! i'm not offended KP i'm not the sensitive sort especially where that mob are concerned.

Report to the Tower first thing to  morrow morning. 

I'm not a massive Royalist but Harry has done well for himself there 

I'm finding the whole thing fascinating....the mix of backgrounds especially. It's always great to see true love, even adoration, reflected in the couple's eyes, such an uplifting change from the ugliness of the current state of the world. 

Meghan seems to be the exact opposite of KP's description, a genuine, articulate, loving, intelligent woman with a lot to offer. They each promote very worthy causes and should be congratulated for the way they conduct themselves. 

These younger royal couples are making the monarchy more relevant and worthwhile. Their status allows them to be heard, so reaching a worldwide audience for their laudable values and actions in a way that the rest of us cannot. Such a wonderful contrast to the grotesque role-models leading the world's nations currently.

 Listen to them without cynicism for their privileged positions. They are making a difference, not sitting back idly. They bring joy and hope, as Diana did. 
Relish it!
