Re: Royal wedding

We also saw the Euronews (in the UK, in Italian - as we have the default setting on our TV set to Italian - the only programme that defaults is Euronews). It was quite amusing we kept hearing 'bla bla bla Mr. Bean, bla bla bla Royal Wedding, bla bla bla Mr Bean" several times over.

Did any of the Italian networks show the entire wedding or was it just on the news in Italy?

Clever girl. :lol:;)
Just joking,..but hey.. I don't think she's better at something than Victoria Beckham is but I'm sure she, at least, looks happier.

btw I'm having a laugh now at all those links about the Royal wedding popping out on facebook, and particularly love this one:
Kate's sardonic grin at Will's words: ".. for richer, for poorer.".

I think Italian networks got lost in too many comments as usual,I luckily managed to watch it on itv, and just had a glance at Rai or Canale 5. They started at 10.30 ish and carried on live from London till News at one something..

Now she's feted almost to the point of worship. Yet she hasn't changed at all. She hasn't actually "done" anything except become a celebrity. It just shows what power the mass media have to influence people's minds.

I agree, but there's really worse around, like becoming famous after taking part to The Big Brother..

Re: Royal wedding

"For richer", "For WAAAYYY richer":thumbsup:

That is all I could think when they said that bit!

They should have special Royal Vows

For Waaayyyy richer

Or just a lot richer :eek:

Re: Royal wedding

Although to be fair, from what I understand, the Middleton family is already quite wealthy. Not on the same scale as the British monarch though I guess.

Re: Royal wedding

They apparently chipped in 100k for the wedding
