Very hard to avoid today, RTE One and TV3 having live coverage, Sky News is being avoided at all costs! In all fairness even though I loathe the Royal Family at times, the whole idea of monarchy and all things associated they do put on a nice show. Monarchy still works for the British and sure let them at it. Although what would have happened if Blair had put it to a vote in 1997? One does wonder!
Most importantly about today though, it’s worth £600 million pounds to the British Economy, Jesus if wed known that then we should have told the Queen shove them into Christchurch Cathedral in Dublin! (Joke, obviously). We wouldn’t have enough Royal doylies to keep all those guests happy. What I find amusing about today is the calling of Kate, a commoner, a lowly commoner marrying the heir to the throne, Queen in waiting. She is no commoner, I mean I don’t think she grew up in a semi-d on a council estate in Manchester or wherever.
Also as a point of note, I spotted a Tricolour in the sea of Union Jacks in Hyde Park, must the D4 contingent offering their undying congrats to their Will and Kate loike. Should we be proud William decided to wear his Irish Guards Uniform? Doesn’t make a difference, still the British Army! But I’m not going to go on condemning the Irish Gaurds, well the older type, many Irish joined that Regiment to seek some form of employment, fought and died, indeed it’s the Regiment that was always sent to the frontline, the expendable class of soldiers as officers would view.
