Saturday, April 23, 2011 9:15:17 AM royal family is a bunch of crap, they don't do anything, they have too much money, people are way too bothered about what they do (which is nothing) i live in scotland. i'd rather live in america. |

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 8:04:50 AM @Angilion actually there are a few clauses still in statute that allow the reigning monarch to take complete control, should the government collapse or teh country be thrown into anarchy. A lot of people think that the governemnt would take over, but according to that law, the monarch would gain control and the governement would do his/her bidding. It's been that way for centuries. hell, go back to the 1500's or 1600's. Theres still a law from henry vii's reign which states that a royal family member may not marry a catholic or anyone of catholic heritage. Should they do so, they will be immediatly removed. |

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 8:01:49 AM jerdboy, youer wrong in so many ways. We know you are a royalist, but they are nothing but leeches off the state. If they truely didnt want to be royals, they would abdicate and/or pass a law stating that they have no powers in the UK, and will not milk millions off the taxpayer a year in upkeep. Hell, they kept saying years ago that the money from the taxpayer was to maintain the mansions and stately homes , except no member of public had any major access to them until not long ago. They are a relic of an era long gone. An illegal immigrant family from centureies ago, that came to this country and basically killed or tortured anyone who disagreed with them being in power. A look back through the history books will easily tell you that. But hey, i guess you should believe everything you are told by your parents huh. |

Tuesday, April 19, 2011 1:46:30 AM All of you idiots who think we're paying for this: You're right BUT the wedding will generate income far beyond the cost. Also the royal family don't choose to be royal, leave them the hell alone. Watch the Kings Speech and realise that its something you're born into, or marry into out of love. None of them chose to be royal. |

Monday, April 18, 2011 5:11:45 PM Waste of peoples time and money celebrating an outdated system of putting people into power because of what inbred family they were born into. Lovely display of ignorance there. i) The British royal family isn't inbred. You're some centuries out of date and in the wrong country. ii) Monarchy might be outdated now, but it's an important part of our heritage and still serves a useful purpose. Besides, no British monarch ever held absolute power, even before the formal beginning (in 1215 in England) of voting, inalienable rights and a constitution above all law and all people (explicitly including the monarch). iii) The UK makes a lot of profit from the royal family (£1B a year is a cautious estimate) and the money spent on this wedding is a good investment. |

Sunday, April 17, 2011 12:21:21 PM The only hype for the wedding I've seen here in the UK is the stores wanting to sell all sorts of merchandise with Union Flags all over it. Oh, and TV channels trying to get you to watch their coverage. For everyone else it's just a day off work. |

Sunday, April 17, 2011 12:19:39 PM The Royals aren't inbred... that's a weird accusation. I suppose people might imagine that, but no, they're from all over the place. Fun video though. |

Sunday, April 17, 2011 11:29:19 AM @Evil_Eye I don't think it's really a case of the people really celebrating the wedding itself. I think it's just another occasion like New Years where people can just get absolutely slaughtered - I mean, with all the deals/days off going for the bank holiday you may as well...
