There should be a Messerchmitt, to represent the Royal Family LOL

And the wedding at a cost of £25,000,000,000 Are we really as hard up as stated? I could go on, but I won't ;)

25 Billion? That is one expensive wedding.

Wow, that much? Well, you wouldn't want them to waste it on something like education or health care now would you? :( Out of interest though, who actually pays for this? The taxpayer or the bride's family?

The brides family are allegedly donating £100,000 towards the wedding. Meanwhile in other parts of our country, they are closing shools that teach the mentally handicapped children because we haven't got the money. The securiy bill is supplemental to the bill costing 20 million.I remember a saying; 'you can fool some of the people, some of the timebut not all of the people all of the time.

Twenty million. Still a lot. On the other hand, London is full of (hopefully) free-spending Americans, so it might turn a profit.Doonesbury's been having some fun with it all..http://www.doonesbury.com/

I wonder if Christopher Hitchens was invited...http://www.slate.com/id/2291497/

A fantastic looking Lancaster.Grats from Switzerland.

Not much of a Royalist myself, but even so, I still wish em luck, so congrats to William and Kate on their wedding day.Al

There are 53 Common Wealth Nations around the world and with most of those nations, ie England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Bangledash, etc etc etc Citizens contibute about 50 cents per person per year to the Monarchy in the tax base (Some countries more, some countries less). When you add up how many people that is across the commonwealth then that number really does add up. On the other hand 50 cents per person per year isn't a lot of money considering the amount of taxes the average citizen of a Commonwealth Nation pays per year.So that is 2,137,984,470 Billion People that William and Kate will be King and Queen. All of these people contribute in some way in their taxes.The World hasn't changed much since the days of Robin Hood :biggrin:William is the future King of all of these countries here: http://en.wikipedia....alth_of_Nations

When I think the budget of this wedding could give food to half Somalian for at least 6 month, it make me sick <_<Ben

HelloSomalian pirates earn from their illegal trade to feed half of somalia, if they cannot be bothered why should anyone else care.Uk foreign aid budget for 2011 stands at 7.8 billion, how much was your countries?

Guys, we all have views and opinions but it is wrong to change the O.P's thread into a political greivance, so please don't pursue it any further otherwise it will be locked or deleted. We must restrict it to the 'Fly Past'.

I have to admit that she is the most stunning looker ever to be admitted into the royal family.
