Posted May 20, 2018 Wish them nothing but the best but I think the 45 million dollar cost could have been spent better somewhere else. However it is their money to do with as they please 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 20, 2018 I wish them all the happiness. However, I think they could have done this for a hell of a lot less than $45 million. 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2018 Queen Elizabeth is everything you'd hope for in a regent. Prince Charles is a tool. His kids seem OK enough, but time will tell. Hopefully the line of succession goes straight to them. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2018 Re: $45M for the wedding: yeah, a lot (much of it security), but guesses are that it does drive a big chunk of money in return re: tourism, clothing sales (eg. one of the young royals wears something [including the babies], everyone wants to buy that thing). The monarchy is a tourist draw: they really know how to do pageantry like no other country, which gets people to visit.

Posted May 21, 2018 I enjoyed the specials leading up to the wedding and glad we have something to talk about besides the polical climate and violence going on around us. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 21, 2018 Why do we care so much about what happens in the UK in this country. Didn't we go tell them to f*ck themselves over 200 years ago? 0 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
