The Royal Famil re-invent themselves yet again - bastards !
I'm not big fan of the Royal Family.
They're all as thick as the back of a bull's bollocks and have no place in a modern democratic society.
Yet today's wedding, even for a cynical republican like myself, was a stone-cold, 100 per cent cast-iron solid gold worldwide success.
Not because of what the Establishment did although as ever they did it very well but because they allowed the new generation of the family to have their way.
The fact that William didn't have a ring, the fact that Blair wasn't invited, the fact that he drove his new missus away in his dad's sports car, the fact that Harry has organised an all-night disco in Buckingham Palace, the fact that the dreadful Earl Spencer was kept in the background.
Small little vignettes but quietly and without letting anyone know what they were doing the bastards have just re-invented themselves for another few hundred years.
You have to admire them or at least the people advising them.

Re: The Royal Famil re-invent themselves yet again - bastards !
Though seeing those manky fold up chairs, bet he was glad not to have gotten an invite in the end 
I wasn't really interested, but fair play to them, seemed to have went off well and security seemed pretty good.
Would have loved to have seen someone streak the event though

Re: The Royal Famil re-invent themselves yet again - bastards !
Only Britain, and I mean only Britain of all countries in the entire world, can put on such a display of dignified pomp and pageantry such as today's event in London, and in such style, with perfect timing down to the split second, as usual. Everything, but everything, went exactly to plan, as expected.
William and Catherine, our new young Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, and our future King William V and his truly lovely Queen Catherine, will be a complete breath of fresh air running right through the entire House of Windsor, and will boost yet further the firm belief that the British Monarchy will survive against any odds, no matter what.
Never before has any future British monarch, second in line to the British throne, accompanied by his brand new wife of a few hours, drive himself out through the gates of Buckingham Palace in his open top car, festooned by balloons and a huge "Just Married" sign attached to the back, and at the sanme time smiling at the cheering crowds on the Mall on the short journey to Clarence House.
These two yung members of the Royal Family will dispense with boring stuffiness and snobbishness yet still remain dignified. Will really is one of the lads, and Kate is well loved and well regarded by all the people who know her in her home village of Bucklebury, near Newbury in Berkshire....and practically everybody there speaks very highly of her.
They are precisely what the Royal Establishment needs, badly. This will not be another Charles and Diana situation at all - thankfully - there are absolutely no similarities there at all.
Once the honeymoon is over the two of them just want to live quietly at their residence in Anglesey where Will is based at RAF Valley, but will undertake royal engagements as and when required.
It's inconceivable that this country, the UK, can possibly be anything but a Monarchy. The words The Republic of Britain not only look and sound alien but the mere concept itself is totally alien, too. It just isn't going to happen, now or in the forseeable future. The new Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are now our hope for the future in this Kingdom, where the Monarch is very much a stabilising fasctor in a country of political and civil stablility. Our Head of State is incorruptible and is above politics and political skulduggery.
As for Republicanism - the British version is very different kettle of fish than the American - over there it is very much right wing politically. Here in the UK, republicans (small R) are very much to the left, politically. In another thared I called them "lunatics". In effect, that is just what our republicans are, all said and done. I make no apology for that.
Long live the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge - long live the future King William V and the future Queen Catherine, and their future heirs. Long like the United Kingdom

Re: The Royal Famil re-invent themselves yet again - bastards !
The poor bastard has Parkinsons. Is that what makes him dreadful? Or the fact that he has money and property?
Not only admire but support them in their good works as well. The 'Old Firm' is good for the Country.

Princess Di's brother - a toady little sniveller - is on his third marriage having gone through a model, then a PR executive before landing himself with a moneyed Canadian bird whose wonga will come in very useful for the upkeep of the family home Althorp House where Di is buried.

The current queen's father was called Albert, but he was King George, for example. Same with his grandfather.
