Amazes me that we get the coverage of this event that we do.
So much for my normal news watching on Friday morning.
Will have to view this rubbish.
At least I have headphones and music.
Can't wait for the live divorce coverage.

I think your right MH, there is too much coverage...............Here in NL there is a small amount of coverage ...........we have access to the BBC and they are wall to wall in coverage....................
However , the royal watchers here don't give them much chance ..........the family trend is to divorce and the vote is that they ill go the same way and quick..........
Nice to be able to go back to trust and friendship!!!!!!!!!

It'll pass me by, pretty much.
We do get an extra public holiday, though !!!

we have had shows on tv for the last couple of days about kate this and kate that, william this etc...and its ongoing until the 'wedding of the century' on friday, personally i think the royal family are waste of space as you earn respect, you are not born with it.
...and, oh yeah, shes a 'commoner'!!!...commoner my backside! if she was a commoner she would be working class from a working class town, commoners dont have multi-millionaire parents nor do they get to go to schools and colleges that William or Harry have been to!
er, sorry, i better get off my soapbox before i go to far and get issued with an infraction!!!!!LOL

Yay!!!! its that day already...thought it would never come, ive been waiting for it ever since the announcement of their engagement (tongue planted firmly in cheek!)
im sure the cost of the wedding would feed the one million homeless souls living on the streets of London for over a year...reality check Will!!!!
yep!
the UK royal family is another of my pet hates...along with "genres" and so-called modern punk bands.....
other than that im having a good day so far!

I feel a bit cynical about this today..............I think it's Royal Wedding coverage poisoning..............But reading the comments above perhaps there should be a clock inserted into the TV picture to show how long the Royal Wedding has lasted...................I mean lets face it there is such a big chance of divorce for those two..................
