    I have seen lots of ads about the upcoming royal wedding of Harry and Meghan and i really couldn't care less i dont know why so many Irish people have such a fascination with the British royal family. People get married all the time i dont see this one as being any different just because it happens to involves royals who cares they are just people like everyone else at the end of the day but all i hear is never ending fawning over it. I didnt watch William and Kates wedding and i sure as hell wont be watching this one either because i have far better things to be doing.

    OP - nobody is forcing you to watch, build a bridge and get over it. I'm a diehard monarchist and I won't be watching it, but I'll be keeping my fingers crossed that some nutter doesn't try and do something stupid - as I do when anything like this wedding takes place.

    100% agree OP. Same **** when the new baby arrived a few weeks ago.. some1 in our whatsapp group "omg kates in labour " every1 all excited.. took me a while to figure out who tF kate was.
    Assumed it was 1 their sisters or something so didnt want to ask .
    Women are weird. I say this as a woman. Doubt any men give a crap about any of it??

    Imagine if your wedding was on the same day as the royal wedding... wouldn't you be totally overshadowed and mortified?
    <Insert multiple OMGs and emojis here>

    Probably end up calling your kids Cromwell, Gerry or Corbyn or something.

    Will sit in front of the TV with my sketch pad and get an accurate enough sketch of Megan's dress. After that I'll sell it to some dressmaker.
    But I kid you not this is a real business.

    The dress is the single most important thing most people care about. The British Royal wedding dresses aren't just some frocks, they are cult, culture and setting trends. Immediately after the wedding and the 2 years following at least, Kate's dress was the single most asked for style in dress shops.
    Now that the Royal sprog 3 is born, everyone goes on about the next thing and that's the dress.

    I'll deffo turn in for the few minutes where she gets out of the car just to see what she's wearing and what will dictate the trend of 2019 heavily.

    1981 was a huge celebration. People in England had street parties. Anyone who could crowded around a TV.

    This wedding will be a complete and utter social media and reality nightmare for the Royal Family.

    Don't make any mistake about that- we're in seriously unknown territory with seriously unknown outcomes.

    You can be "into it" for many different reasons. In this case, there's a serious campaign in the UK National Media to derail this couple.

    I've never seen such veracity and consistency of underhanded journalism.

    1981 was a spectacle.

    This might be a media enhanced Nightmare.

    I'll be honest and say I've an interest in it.

    I was never into the British royal family until I watched 'The Crown' on Netflix (absolutely amazing show).

    That got me interested in that sort of stuff, then watched Downton Abbey (another great show, but not royalty).

    Then watched The Tudors and got really hooked on British royalty.

    Its a complete puppet show, doesn't make any sense really but I still find it very interesting.

    As someone else sort of mentioned, it's like the female version of the Champions League, FA Cup etc. Like a lad texting his friend - who's in work or whatever - that Messi scored in extra time.

    Royal ancestry is like a vipers nest, an incestuous vipers nest. But your right, it's very interesting.

    so if these two have a child, it will be a US citizen, therefore eligible to run for POTUS.

    So a member of the Royal Family could become President of the US.

    Its mainly women that appear to be the ones interested in it and its purely to do with the fashion etc associated with a royal wedding. I couldn't give a she about it but I don't have any ill feelings towards the royal family or about the wedding.
