But yeah I was watching a bit of it, I agree that the Archbishop who read the vows has an absolutely amazing voice, very bold. | ||

It's beautiful indeed! Kate's dress is perfect and she has such poise and elegance that I'm sure she'll do well in her role as future queen. I really love the trees in the cathedral. A nice touch instead of the usual flower arrangements. | ||

Not because it would make any difference if you took away all the privileges and the money of the royal families (in Europe at least): but it feels just like a celebration of a thousand year old system of repression. I'm not even a monarchist, but I enjoy the show. Don't have to be a Jaedong fan to appreciate and be spell-bound by his games. Nowadays the monarchy has no real power and acts as a positive attractor for the Britain, bringing in revenue from tourism both to themselves and the general economy that far outweighs what allowances the British government gives them. | ||

It's the symbol of wealth put up infront of the people - as in medieval times to show the might of the nation. I know that my perspective is illogical - or maybe too logical to be valid in a world that isn't at all logical, but this kind of spectacel makes me feel dirty. It has been like that as long as I can remember, I remember almost crying when my mother wanted to watch the swedish royal family when I was a kid. But as I said, this is more of a feeling than an argument really, so I can understand people who are watching I guess. | ||
