Giordano Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I hope she runs away. Teach royality not everything is theirs. But it'll be stupid of her to leave that money and prestiege behind.

stevepole Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I was wondering why recently there was a lot of media cover surrounding the wedding then I realized yesterday that the wedding is Friday. I don't plan on watching it though, I'll probably be stumbling home Friday night around 2am anyways so watching a wedding will be the last thing on my agenda.

Icuownage Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I hope she runs away. Teach royality not everything is theirs. But it'll be stupid of her to leave that money and prestiege behind. Ya know, it's actually weird the royalty would marry a commner like her. So if anything wouldn't it be the opposite? It's a REALLY big shaft.I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

Hamtaro Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 No. Why do their positions (in terms of royalty) even exist anymore? They're just there for show it seems, which, imo, is a huge waste of money. Seems like the media is just over-hyping this for a quick buck. Player since 2004.

Icuownage Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Well I'm not exactly an expert, but I think it's quite complicated. I mean the Queen is incharge of the commonwealth IIRC It's a REALLY big shaft.I didn't catch fire, I used the can of hairspray as a flamethrower and pointed it at my arm.how are you going to ignore my posts when I'm offering to let you live as my vassal in two weeks time?

stevepole Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 There isn't anything complicated about it, she'll simply will become William's princess or duchess if Williams takes on the title of a duke. It's the classic fairy tale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya know, it's actually weird the royalty would marry a commner like her. So if anything wouldn't it be the opposite?She's pretty far from a commoner. She comes from a rich family, not a rich noble family, but damn close enough. I would like people to stop treating English royality as if it were a show. If I was British I would be damn shamed having them around after all these decades. EDIT: I just realized something.

Oh I got confused ha, I wasn't sure if you were questioning her title. Of course I never followed them that closely, but I imagine they'll be fine, or at least let's hope so.

Will H Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I'm going to watch it, but it's all a tourist attraction with history. A classy one at that. I don't see what's wrong with it. ~ W ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assume Nothing Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 The way I see it is that it's merely a tourist attraction to help boost demand in the Economy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danqazmlp Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I don't get all the hate for the royal family. They do much more good than bad, and a lot more good than a good chunk of the worlds population too. That's before you count the money they bring into the British economy. I'll be watching it.

Ginger_Warrior Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Nah, I don't get it either But in all seriousness, there's not really been any 'hate' on this thread so far, as opposed to apathy or insincerity. The blunt truth is that while a third of the country will be watching, a third couldn't care less. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dark Lord Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Why is he marrying a commoner? Didn't Edward VIII abdicate because he wanted to marry an American woman? What's changed now?
