If their really in love then all the best to them but other then that the whole phenomena is bewildering to me. I'm a 20 something American so royalty means nothing to me but it is interesting to see how the english respond to it.

It's an interesting comment on society that if they were a poor alabama couple people would give less then a shit but as defunct royalty it seems many have gone mad for it. Princess fantasies or pure looky lue behavior I'm not sure.

I didn't watch a single minute of it, and looked on bemused at some of the stuff on the news.

Most people I know are't interested, so I'm curious as to where all these people spring up from. Admittedly I live in a Northern city, historically far less royal orientated than the Southern shires.

Broadly speaking, I think it's a chance for people to have a day on the lash - whether that be beer, wine or champagne (working or middle class) - and watch how the other half/celebrity lives.

Watching the news, there were boatloads of Canadians/Aussies/Kiwis/Americans in that mall bit, so for whatever reason other countries like all of that. A 2 billion worldwide audience apparently, as crazy as that is.

^ in a way people want a reason to feel good right now. So that makes sense.

I love how the media spins things... saying 42 people would watch - but it was more like 26 people.

The snips I seen of the church thing looked boring.

BTW- the missing piece of the puzzle.... is not so much the royals- but the power of Rothschild behind the scenes.

I have to say that- the replies from the Brits seem totally logical and reasonable to me. From the posts on this board. :-)

being a teenager when Diana was married meant I was more vested in that event. this time around I'm content to just look at the pictures.
