To not give a shit about the Eugenie wedding?

Does anyone really care about this? I know tabloids are trying to push this as fascinating and brilliant news (probably at request of her dad) but who cares if a random upper class women gets married? Why is it on tv? Why would anyone be mad enough to go on watch a carriage possession in Windsor and more importantly why does the tax payer have to pick up the bill for security etc?

That's because she is a "real" princess. wink*

Erm...yes! 😉

BrightonGallery7 · 12/10/2018 15:29

I agree. Eugenie has been the most beautiful Royal bride. She appears to be genuine and her niceness shines through.

BrightonGallery7 · 12/10/2018 15:29

I agree Eugenie...

How unkind

Haffiana · 12/10/2018 15:38

Fucking rich, eh? How dare they get married. How dare they parade in front of normal people and cost us money to guard them while they do it.

Much better they hide away so we can Hate about them being standoffish and too posh and rich to show themselves, eh?

What do they need guarding from anyway? With our taxpayer money. Bloody rage, eh? Who cares if someone blows them up eh? Who cares if all those idiots who are enjoying watching get blown up as well eh?

Fucking rich. How dare they make me miserable and envious.

I watched this thought she looked amazing (best modern royal wedding dress by far). She looked so happy. I loved the way Beatrice sat with her mum rather than walking up the aisle, fergie probably needed a bit of support there. Reckon meg is definitely pregnant, the loose coat buttoned at the top clutch and gloves(??) held at stomach height getting out the car. It’s either that or an attempt to get everyone talking about her. As for Robbie Williams wife! She should have asked on mumsnet about that colour!!!!!

Belina · 12/10/2018 15:40

nope not at all

showmewhatyougot · 12/10/2018 16:21

Almost as confusing as someone who claims to not give a shit but then goes and an online thread to discuss the matter?

Some people love it, some people don't, there's no need to be rude to either side.

Ivalueloyaltyaboveallelse · 12/10/2018 16:32

I looked at her dress and guests outfits . For once Eugenie didn’t look like shit.
I’m glad we as tax payers didn’t have to pay for all of the wedding, as Eugenie and the sister don’t do any royal duties. Happy to pay to protect our Queen and rest of the important royals tho.

Sinead100 · 12/10/2018 16:39

You are allowed to not give a shit about anything you like AFAIK

Agreed!

Lionsandtiger · 12/10/2018 16:50

Yanbu. I don't mind the queen, but would prefer a republic and then we could be free of this crap. Most importantly all the money spent on this, security etc could have been spent on public services.

Why are we subsidising minor royals? She should get a job and pay for her own wedding. Glad Markle and all her save the world credentials Hmm wore Givenchy again. Wonder how many poor souls could have been saved instead of designer clobber.

Deadbudgie · 12/10/2018 16:55

Lions as far as I know she has got a job innew york. Her dad paid for the wedding the taxpayer paid for the security for the royal family

Rudgie47 · 12/10/2018 17:06

Its all the same people that are trotted out at these occasions. the question of the day must be where was the slime ball David and his miserable wife.

BrightonGallery7 · 12/10/2018 18:40

David?

BrightonGallery7 · 12/10/2018 18:40

Oh THEM!!! No wonder it seemed better.

StrangeLookingParasite · 12/10/2018 18:49

Even if you don't like it swearing isn't necessary

Are you sure you want to be here, Prissy?

StoneofDestiny · 12/10/2018 18:53

The security cost taxpayers paid for increased substantially because the couple insisted on a carriage ride around town. She wanted a longer one than she got, but it has trimmed down fairly recently. Taxpayers are footing the bill for the cleanup too.

I do care - I care that public services are collapsing, that prisons are understaffed putting prisons officers lives in daily jeopardy, that crimes are going unchallenged and 'written' off because of a shortage of police officers and that the NHS and Schools are struggling to meet basic needs of those that need their service.

The unapologetic robbing of the public purse by independently wealthy people is a national disgrace. Eugenie and Jack are not public servants and in no way deserve public funds diverted to pay for their shindig.

Banamara · 12/10/2018 19:00

Nine day wonder. Seven days before and three days after (weekend tabloids lol)

I wish them all the best, but they don't know me and don't care about me at all, but still.

All over now. I am sure they couldn't care less about what people think, and are getting mightily pissed at the reception as we speak. No cameras there, and rightly so!

Next!

Banamara · 12/10/2018 19:01

ooops that was a ten day wonder, but I am sure you get the drift anyway!

StoneofDestiny · 12/10/2018 19:16

I am sure they couldn't care less about what people think

No doubt about that, they don't care the public purse was robbed by them. Ultimately it's that attitude that brought down most royal families across the globe. Here is hoping...

Banamara · 12/10/2018 19:36

I get a feeling that her Maj will never be challenged publicly about the largesse and money spent on the Royal family and all their own families and so on, as long as she is still with us.

But maybe when she exits stage left, there will be a lot more questioning of the cost of RF for all of us. Bonnie Prince Charlie will have to deal with that. Could be interesting!

Polarbearflavour · 12/10/2018 19:59

I’m a republican but Eugenie looked nice today. The royal marriage statistics aren’t great but I hope they have a happy marriage. I think it’s quite sweet that he’s basically a bar man. He has family money and went to public school but at least he has a normal job.

This blood princess stuff is nonsense. Her blood is no different to ours, she just happened to be born into a family who are so called royalty. She’s no better than me or you and I certainly wouldn’t curtsey to any of them.

The Daily Mail commenters are convinced that Megan is pretending to be pregnant to get attention. Or something.

Rainbunny · 12/10/2018 21:41

To be honest if I were her I'd be embarrassed by the fuss, surely she must be aware that the public doesn't care about her wedding day and in fact many people are pissed off that public funds have been used to provide security for a bloody carriage ride.

DSHathawayGivesMeFannyGallops · 12/10/2018 22:10

She was the happiest/most in love looking royal bride I've seen.

The fact she's born royal will excite the press- it's an angle, that's all.

Oscarpeanut · 13/10/2018 01:11

Insensitive in the extreme to have such a lavish wedding when the country is suffering from the PM's austerity. Respect for the institution of the monarchy is hard won and easily lost.
