So how come people in this world are still enamored with the idea of King and Queen? Go gaga over their children getting wed to non royals. How is it that Britain of all places can hoodwink an entire globe to gawk at the planned wedding of one of their errant brood finding holy matrimony?
Why pray are there are kings and queens in the first place (no pun intended)?
Americans for their part seem gullible and excited because the bride to be is from America. Not sure what that has to do with anything but that is what the media has us believe.
I heard this afternoon that some of my colleagues actually plan to wear their pajamas and sit in front of their respective idiot boxes and sort of have a bollywood moment watching two people in expensive clothes say 'mein wada karta huun' (I do) ceremony. This because the mahoorat (local time) of said wedding in England translates to late night on the west coast of the US.
There is also chatter on the web already about the odds/likelihood that this so called wedding will result in long term wedded bliss for the said couple. I mean given they are celebrities and that demographic anyway has a hard time keeping that contract in play it is anyone's guess.
The pop TV, and internet outlets are already making a killing in terms of ad revenues with everyone from swimsuit makers and credit card companies to more magazine subscription pleas jostling for space next to a picture of the prince and princess. Not to mention all the tourism dollars that the broke royalty will now earn for what else - royalties!
