I have yet to see anything any better. Yes, I know this wedding - as with all the others - is costing a lot. But it will bring in a lot of money to shops, businesses, hotels etc.around the Windsor area - and to the tourist industry in general. I have grown up with the Royal Family and their ways and I wouldn't like to see them disappear in my lifetime. Of the future? Who knows?<br /><br />But thanks everyone for your comments and views.The Weaver of Grasshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13947971556343746883noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-74008844823875471282018-05-18T08:24:11.225-07:002018-05-18T08:24:11.225-07:00Well, I do love a wedding and will enjoy seeing th...Well, I do love a wedding and will enjoy seeing the little children and everyone all dressed up!<br />Poor Meghan's family are a bit embarrassing - but then all of us have odd relatives.<br />As for the expense - to will easily be covered by tourist income etc - and the pleasure it will give many people.<br />Hope the weather keeps fine!Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03964291132366262298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-157929956470275022018-05-18T07:07:18.074-07:002018-05-18T07:07:18.074-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Marionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14786883679294446945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-21906052847432069892018-05-18T07:05:56.522-07:002018-05-18T07:05:56.522-07:00I am getting up at 4:00 a.m. and my three daughter...I am getting up at 4:00 a.m. and my three daughters and an odd child or two will be joining me (most of them sleeping over Friday night.) We will have champagne, scones, crumpets and strawberries and cream. As I get older, I think, “This may be the last Royal celebration I will ever see.” Not a time to knock the Royal Family. They are, as the saying goes, “What they are.” No better, no worse than most of us.Beryl Amenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434257277408290473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-12542437552058505212018-05-18T06:53:28.496-07:002018-05-18T06:53:28.496-07:00I will be watching, though not from the beginning ...I will be watching, though not from the beginning of the TV programme.

I'm not a fan of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge or the York princesses - I'm afraid they want the privileges and wealth but are not prepared to put the work in that the Queen and her husband have. In fact some of them are downright lazy and none of them seem to have the sense of duty that was instilled into the Queen. <br />I'll watch the start of the wedding just to see what the dress is like. Hopefully she will have remembered it's her second marriage and therefore white or ivory are not suitable. I'm sorry her family is dragging the Royal family into what is fast becoming a soap opera.<br />Perhaps the end of the monarchy after the current Prince of Wales.Fiona Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10740068049561110307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-43155841655303872802018-05-18T00:16:07.244-07:002018-05-18T00:16:07.244-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Muhammad Zubairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05482873062528351035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-40869591850015822132018-05-17T22:48:59.494-07:002018-05-17T22:48:59.494-07:00Think I will watch the highlights the day after, t...Think I will watch the highlights the day after, too much news on it, too much talking rubbish spouted, but I wish the couple every happiness on their day.

It starts at 9pm here so it will be dinner in front of the telly for the pre-wedding shows which will be tedious and strung out with all the talking heads speculating, then with luck we'll still be awake when it starts.<br /><br />We have a fabulous octogenarian friend who has just taken up the banjo - it must be having a revival!

I'm sure it does really brighten up their day.<br /><br />I will be getting up early to watch the wedding as I am a romantic at heart and love a royal wedding. It will be live on TV here starting at 5:00 AM. I am curious as to if Megan's Mother will give her away and I think it would be nice if she did. There's so much talk about her Father but he had heart surgery just yesterday so you know he won't be there. There is always, unfortunately, so much gossip about these weddings but I just enjoy the beautiful, fairy tale side of it and I do hope they have a happy life.<br />Bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17738727252267659979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-280582018791422638.post-86044647592729389662018-05-17T13:42:32.819-07:002018-05-17T13:42:32.819-07:00I'm tempted to watch in case Megan's dad p...I'm tempted to watch in case Megan's dad pops out of the woodwork.
