Another Royal Wedding. AIBU to leave the country?

[TottieandMarchpane]

Anyone got an island to hold a republican festival on?

I just want the Playmobil lady to do her interpretation of it.

We were in St Lucia, WiFi/internet free when Charles and Camilla got married. On the flight home the pilot announced that as we had missed the wedding they would be playing it on the inflight entertainment… on a loop

And they didn't provide parachutes ... ??

The wedding is to be abroad, why is that a problem for people?

I think we should get a day off work for each RW. At last I'd get a long lie out of it. #vivelarepublic!

OP, I know you're being light-hearted having waded through all the "you could just umm.... not watch it" remarks. In anycase I don't think this will be some grand affair as a PP mentioned due to all the controversy surrounding Prince Andrew and they generally don't seem adored by the public as much as the more senior royals.

I am a royalist...but I just cannot stomach that vile Prince Andrew and his awful family.

I don't know if the girls are awful - but I agree about Andrew and Fergie.

They are a pair of horrors!

Greedy horrors at that.

I don't know if you are being serious, if you are it's a total over-reaction to an avoidable event, if you aren't it seems a bit mean spirited to be raining on a couple's happy news

The black and white photos they've released are lovely.

Oh no, @FuzzyPuffling ! I'm not sure if I can think of any new ideas for another Playmobil royal wedding!

*No doubt Meghan will announce another pregnancy at this one too^.

Oh ffs. Does the Meghan bashing ever stop?

I don't like the Meghan bashing either - but TBH this one is justified.

It is a nasty trick to steal someone's thunder on their wedding day, whoever you are. A really low, nasty trick.

Thing is, you might hate the Royals, but if they weren't there then that almight fuck-up that is Boris Johnson would be the head of state.

No, he wouldn't! He's the prime minister, for heaven's sake an entirely different job. If you abolished the monarchy, you would be free to devise the criteria and powers of a democratically-elected head of state to provide for largely ceremonial powers and minimal political ones and if, as in Ireland, the presidential salary can't go above the top civil servant rate, you've already blocked out any career politicians, who simply aren't interested because it has no political clout or cash attached. The prime minister would have no more to do with an elected HoS than he/she does with the queen.

People continually behave as though the monarchy is the only thing holding off the prospect of President Johnson/Blair/Farage, when it really isn't.

I can imagine David Dimbleby intoning 'and here.comes the bride' wearing a dress made by X being accompanied by her father, the sex offender and all round scumbag HRH Prince Andrew

But I think it would be improved if the dress were sewn out of mailbags by HRH Air Miles, now resident at HMP RandomPrison, and he accompanied her down the aisle wearing one of those electronic tagging ankle bracelets.

but TBH this one is justified.

We have no actual idea when she told the extended family.

Sick of funding the entire lot of them. Taxpayer shouldn't give them a fucking penny, they are all loaded.

It would be pretty shit for Beatrice to not get the public wedding that Eugenie had, just because her father is a letch.

I think it will be the same, at Windsor.

I would like to thank Beatrice, her fiancé and all on this thread for directing me to the joy that is PlaymoLand.

I had no idea that this idyllic place existed, but am now searching Purple Bricks to see if there are any houses for sale there - I need one big enough for me, three spaniels and two cats.

DH and DD can stay here. They don't appreciate the finer things in life.

I wouldn't worry too much.

Andrew struggled to find a TV station willing to televise Eugenie's wedding - the BBC was not interested, so he had to settle for ITV. Given that the Epstein scandal has resurfaced big time since then, I suspect Bea's wedding won't be televised at all.

And if it is, you can just not watch it. Like the majority of the country.

Bit sad for Beatrice if she wants a televised wedding. She didn't choose her father.

Bit sad for Beatrice if she wants a televised wedding

My tiniest violin is playing sad tunes.

Beatrice is not a 'working' royal. Why is she entitled to a televised wedding?

TottieandMarchpane why are you blaming her mother? It was widely reported that it was Prince Andrew that supported a big wedding for Eugenie.

OP - I am reading this thread

I would like to particularly congratulate you on the police dog pissing on the lamppost outside the bank as they ensure that there are no assassins lurking about.

It's touches like this that make it real.

Edo was still living with Dara when he was dating Beatrice. There was definite overlap and is still something Dara struggles with although she remains tight lipped and handles it with dignity. He is a scoundrel so will fit in well with Beatrice's immediate family. Disgusting.

I wonder if Fergie's financial dependence on addiction to remaining in the spotlight, combined with Andrew's sense of truculent entitlement and the Palace Press Office urgent need for good news stories, might have pushed all this along a bit faster than good friends would want for her.

Also, saying that it's unfair that Bea isn't getting a televised wedding because 'she can't choose her father' is a bit ironic, given that she got all her titles and privileges purely and entirely because of who her father is.

Don’t watch it. I actively avoided the last vomit inducing charade, and will again.
