'Should have gone to specsavers' springs to mind

Re: Royal Wedding

but then if HE lives that long.....................

Re: Royal Wedding
 

I'm told that Kate Middleton asked the Queen on the night before the wedding for advice on how to have a long and happy life as a Royal wife, she replied "Always wear a seat belt and never, ever piss me off"

Re: Royal Wedding
 

Ths smilies were in response to someone else's post. I DO think he looks like his uncle, Earl Spencer. I thought so even when he was a little boy before James Hewitt was even mentioned.

But then Earl Spencer is his mother's side of the family........

Re: Royal Wedding
 

.....he will be in his eighties when he ascends to the throne.:eek:

Re: Royal Wedding
 

Ha - And all the so-called royalists will be hoping he carks it fairly promptly! They'll be crossing their fingers like mad when called upon to repeat "Long live the King"

Re: Royal Wedding
 

I don't think he looks like Charles or Hewitt ... but he does resemble his mother's sister, Lady Sarah McCorquodale - also a ginger.

Re: Royal Wedding
 

But at least they have no real power, that is still with the elected idiots, which can be changed every 5 years, just think of the countries where the Royalty is in power, Saudi Arabia, Bahrein etc, and those countries with unelected leaders, Libya etc.

Re: Royal Wedding
 

I think you have that right, here is a pic of his cousin Gerorge (Diana's nephew) son of her sister Sarah, and although he is fatter than Harry, they are like peas in a pod.

So maybe the "mystery Ginger" is not an imposter.

Or Lady Sarah McCrocodile as she was dubbed at the time! Yeah, the Spencer family didn't come out of the whole affair with much dignity as I remember, Sarah was an evil bitch, probably still is, she apparently shredded thousands of personal papers from her sisters past life in an attempt to limit the damage it could all do to the family one day...

Re: Royal Wedding
 

Well, I never watched the show, but it seems 16 million Spanish did on one Spanish channel alone.

Re: Royal Wedding
 

Which probably means that the percentage of the Spanish population viewing overall would be close to that in the UK.

Amazing, yet maybe not so much so after the massive pre-wedding build up, comparable to that in the UK.

I wonder how many other countries had similar figures or if the worldwide estimates of the billions viewing could even have been underestimated ?

Re: Royal Wedding
 

Taking royal support on a basis of who watched, who was at the street parties etc is just silly.

A huge % will watch out of curiosity, who don't support them at all.

Re: Royal Wedding
 

Maybe, on the other hand I would imagine that most of those opposed would have switched to another channel and as O Leary would say all publicity is good publicity.
