Shallow people care. People who foolishly and childishly believe in fairy tales. People who find their lives not that interesting. People who believe in the class system. I am Sir Nose, devoid of funk | |

Or folks who just like a change of pace from war coverage and all the other horrors that are going on today.
Every once in a while, something sweet and frivolous is needed and a good thing.
And - it's love. I thought we were all for that, anyway "I don't think you'd do well in captivity." - random person's comment to me the other day | |

I don't see what all the fuss is about either. Seems dull and stuffy to me.
What I don't understand is, why are these people still called queens, princes, princess, etc.? Didn't that shit end years ago? If it didn't, it should have. I be damned if I'd let someone "rule" over me because they come from a certain family. I'd tell them to kiss my ass. Andy is a four letter word. | |

^^I'm sure we are happy. I don't know too many people (personally) who are whipping ourselves into a frenzy over this wedding, but there ain't nothin' wrong with showing a little bit of interest. Honey, stop talking and just create the music. | |

I don't know much about royalty and how it works, but I think you are missing a crucial point about royals: at least speaking for Belgium, The Netherlands, Luxemburg, Spain, Sweden, among other European countries, [not so sure about Britain though], as far as I know, their decision-making powers over the affairs of their country are quite limited. They don't 'rule'. I believe it's the government [after democratic input from the people] that does and decides on the most important stuff.
Might be mistaken for some cited countries, but that's my gut feeling.

I was shocked to learn the King & Queen are FORBIDDEN to meddle in politics. So even Prince Charles has to give up being a spokesman even for causes such as envirionmentalism once he becomes king.
So it's totally ceremonial, they have money but not much power. Well, actually the prince has more power than the queen because he can still speak his mind
Pretty silly, actually. Maybe more silly than ruling! My Legacy

I'm pretty sure they probably can't rule any more and are probably just descendents of kings and queens who did once rule. What I don't understand is, why they continue to call them princes and things if they can't rule. It's like they must want people to think their shit don't stink. Hell, if I was a descendent of a king, I would keep it to myself for fear that people would resent me and think I was a stuffy old prude. Andy is a four letter word. | |

I guess names and titles are what traditions, culture and history are made of - for better or worse. I think changing titles/names would only bring a cosmetic, superficial change imo.
If you were of royal ancestry, you would keep it to yourself? - How? As far as I know, kings and their kin are public figures.

I understand some of why people are interested; the harkening back to an earlier time, the general people watching and observing of a lifestyle none of us will ever understand, stuff like that. But for me personally it does absolutely nothing. I tuned it out a couple weeks after the first announcement. | |

We're not getting no day off, we're gonna have a day in lieu. I wanted the day off so I have a nice relaxing day way from this royal crap, my workplace is near the church. I really don't fancy seeing the parade of the wedding from a man and his family that are on royal dole money and have never done a hards days work in there lifes, and a wedding that my hard earned taxed money is paying for. FUNKNROLL! | |
