I don't remember the wedding of Zara Phillips being on this sort of scale though her relationship to the Queen is the same as Princess Wotsername. Why the difference ?

I'm just watching a caption on BBC news that says Princess Eugenie's ROYAL wedding ( my emphasis ).
Come to think of it was Zara ever called a Princess ?

Zara isn't a princess because her father is a so-called commoner.

Is it true the peasants have to pay for the security?

Why is security needed exactly?
Even ISIS must be finding reasons not to show interest in this.

Actually, I was wrong. It's worse than I thought.

Zara and Peter’s mother is Princess Anne, who is the Queen’s daughter and as the children of the monarch’s daughter, they do not hold a royal title.

All of their cousins are children of the monarch’s sons – Charles, Edward and Andrew – so they do get the royal titles.

This all seems very archaic and sexist, but that is the way of things.

Comes behind HRH Stephen Fry in the pecking order.
The groom is described on Wiki as the Brand Ambassador (Crazy) for ******** tequila and a socialite. Two jobs that sound as though they may overlap.
He's also a distant cousin of the bride so nothing new there.

Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli will perform two pieces during the ceremony, which will also feature music from members of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra

I don't think we should get too hung up over this cousin thing.

Do you even know who your second cousins are, let alone third or fourth?

He's third cousin twice removed. Deescended from the younger son of a mere baronet so common as muck. Mind you wasn't Eugenie's mother pretty common ?

who laps this shyte upLaugh

I've never heard her speak yet she gets wall to wall coverage.

Royal families are panifully outdated in the modern age.

A few hundred years ago they may have had some relevance.

Turn Buckingham Palace into an orphanage or shelter for homeless people or a hospital.
