The wedding is a National Occasion (no matter what TB thinks) as she is the future Queen ;) ;)
It is a National occasion, its not a State occasion.  Therefore, the ceremony should be as private as possible, to an extent. Televise it, if thats OK with the couple, but the media's frenzy has, really, ruined it, as the media now feels it has to be sensationalist.

Whether she is THE future queen (note, she will never be The Queen) is not guaranteed...  ...it will take the deaths of 2 people before that can happen.  Hopefully, she can be the mother of a future heir.

Agreed that the media have ruined it, if you didn't avoid the hype, but the couple did agree to it being as it is ;) ;)

As for future... No, she won't be THE Queen, but she will be Queen by virtue of the fact that she is Married to THE KING! He will sit on the throne as King, perhaps many years down the line, but he will. I still wouldn't be surprised if Charles never does though ;)

I know that I'm sick of the camera focusing on the couple of queens on the guest list  :-?

WTF were they invited????  :-? :-? :-?

The Prince of Wales will be the King if he outlives Maj. Thats Royal Protocol, and how it should be. At which point, the now Duke and Duchess of Cambridge will become the Prince and Princess of Wales, and next in line...

Hmmm, that reminds me of one of my niece's Christening - halfway through, a Gospel Choir snuck in, and stated the happy-clappy stuff....  ....not the sort of thing that normally happens in the depths of Norfolk...

Yes, that's Royal Protocol... But there is the possibility that he will not accept the title ;) ;) And, of course, that Her Maj may outlive him ;) She does look extremely fit and healthy for her age :y :y

I think he would accept it if he was able to take the role, healthwise.  And he should. Thats his duty.

Of course, Maj is looking very well, and her mother lived a good, long life, though went downhill rapidly, as many 'healthy' old people do.  Here's to Maj having a long life :y

They were already talking - outsiders in their church. Strange outsiders at that - the brothers were not married to their mummy-sisters, and no strange bits of skin between the fingers and toes....

The NHS needs cuts. Its just too inefficient. So that argument holds no sway with me...

Nor me I'm afraid ::)

As for the Police on duty... It would have been that way wherever and however the ceremony had been held... The Queen of the Country plus all of the successors are in attendance, not to mention the PM etc ;) ;)
