They seem like a nice couple and I wish them luck.
Anyone spotted any 'rough sleepers' or did the police carry out their orders?
Harry and the other one leave me in a slight conundrum - they seem like perfectly nice men but I despise the whole concept the UK having a royal family in the 21st century. Given the opportunity to vaporise the whole clan far enough in every direction of the blood line that a 'rightful' monarch could not be found I'd gladly press the button (taking out the dribbling sycophantic idiots that turn up to wave flags on days such as this as an unfortunate but probably desirable secondary effect).
So I simultaneously wish a young couple happiness whilst hoping for a blood bath.

Wearkng a union flag gives you permission to sleep rough.
That's not very nice, what would you prefer then a corrupt ex reality TV chump as the head of your wiser and betters? Don't think there will ever be a situation where there are not assumed wiser and better people to rule over you.
I like Harry and given the shit he’s had to go through, Mother killed at an early age by his Grandfather in law for being pregnant by a Muslim, being dragged down and made to walk behind the coffin by the media, his own parentage in doubt, it’s amazing he hasn’t flipped out.
Good effort!
You seem familiar. 🙂
EDIT: The bridal car is giving it the beans down the Long Walk. A real reward for the long-suffering royalist crowd. She must be late or something.
Looks like a beautiful wedding.
Happy for them.
Marking exam papers and watching.
Lovely dress 😇
Good effort!

Mmmmm. I wonder?
Who could it be.
Something in my eye
She’s got a beautiful smile, and they both look extremely happy together.
I wish thier lives long and prosperous and full of joy.
😇😇
Lovely.
Cool priest.
Who’s the loon on the stage at the min?
He’s giving it the beans.
This guy is hilarious, I really want to see him send one of those candles flying.
Cool priest.
Yeah but he ain't arf going on a bit.
I never thought I’d see the day where you see royals thinking in their minds WTF !!
Where's he going with this......
He's making the most of speaking to the world.
Peace through love. I’m an atheist but agree with him.
I like Harry and given the shit he’s had to go through
+1 Probably as "real" as a Royal ever can be IMO.
Shitload of Black people in that church, and too right as well in general, but it pisses me off that ultimately its a political statement.
Coming to America,
but it pisses me off that ultimately its a political statement.
What a load of complete bollocks.
I think it's great that there's an african amercian choir singing Ben E King at a British royal wedding. I like even more that it'll piss off the closet racists. To say that it's a political statement is dogshit.
Right. You think the Royals filled the church with Black people for the sake of it? Why didn't the have a black choir for other weddings, we all know how good they are. Or the Black priest? They've only done it to symbolise her background.
You need to be closer to it Wrecker. The fact they are promoting her as "Black" addition to the family isn't going down well in some cultural circles. She's not truly representative, she's as close to being white privileged marrying into Royalty as they'd accept. Do you thinking we'd be watch Harry marry a dark skinned girl with a big afro and no money from Nigeria on telly? No, we wouldn't.
Don't get me wrong, I've nothing against her or Harry and I wish them the best.
Edit: And I think the multi-cultural exposure is a good thing BTW, I just would have like it because that's what our country is, not because it serves the need of the monarchy.
Do you think that it might be because there has not been a black participant by any chance?
"They" have done nothing but let the bride have a wedding she wants. They aren't promoting her as black, she IS black (well mixed race).
I think that some people (and I can take them or leave them myself) are so entrenched in their views that something the dislike can never ever do anything which doesn't have an agenda. It's not a sign of a healthy outlook. Intolerant, closed minded, bitter and inward looking.
Local to me. But nobody wanted to rent our driveway! Good luck to them. I know what it’s like to get married without a parent. Big events always focus the mind on your loss.
Not a royalist, but rather like Harry. Seems honest and open.

And if you can show me the evidence that Megan requested everything I posted, I'll eat my words in front of you.

Me? No. I'm happily watching the telly with a Black wife, Black extended family and two mixed race children. Just keeping it real mate, lest you forget the recent Windrush scandal... In all we are happy to see so much positive black representation, its excellent. But don't be so naive as to think its a coincidence.

What the hell has that got to do with the royal wedding? You can choose to believe what you want, if you think that it's all a big manufactured ploy because it sits with your dislike of the royal then that's up to you.
Welling up..
Talk about fairytale ending..
There's only one country in the world that can deliver this.
Days like today you can be forgiven to be proud to be British.

I was responding to your implication here.

I didn't say either, you need to read back.

I didn't imply anything, and I certainly wouldn't accuse someone of what you interpreted. You clearly read what you chose to.
Was the dress Rab or Decathlon?
Did Victoria Beckham think she was going to a funeral?
The Lady Farquaad wants to know why our lawn doesn't look like that and now guess where I'm headed.
That'll be a few more people to add to the gravy train. tax hikes incoming
This thread is so STW....a glorious Royal wedding, our Household Calvary the finest ceremonial troops in the world stunning on the grand drive....and we get a row about racism!
FFS!
i have literally just realized that Maghan is Rachel Zane from Suits!
Damn, he's a lucky boy.
Disclaimer: rural Spain, Spanish TV and my having no actual interest in the royal wedding is to blame.
"Fairytale ending"?
Yes, incredible to see a young couple fight through such hardship to make it to the altar together.

Low expectations are indeed low expectations.
It was a fabulous ceremony, very well scripted and catered for the diversity of modern Britain. But essentially two more diverse a couple have joined in a holy matrimony that should be the overwhelming message (should any be needed) A message that hopefully will spread far and wide, a message that no matter your race, creed, colour, upbringing, values nor political viewpoints that Love will prevail and so they enter a world of communion and togetherness.
But dear god, the fawning by the media 🤷♀️🤷♂️
I thought this thread was about the forumite who got married today....I'm off for a dad dance and glass or two in a while with the winning couple. 😎
Who could it have been, you mean. (-:
Well, there always one that makes a fool of themselves at a wedding and then gets Hammered 😂
The priest was great, a lot of befuddled faces when he was going for it
If anyone missed it, i've recorded a bit
"a message that no matter your race, creed, colour, upbringing, values nor political viewpoints that Love will prevail and so they enter a world of communion and togetherness."
Not to be a downer about this, but "Royal marries millionaire celebrity" isn't really sending that message is it? It's not a negative thing, it's just not exactly a shining example of diversity and equality either.

All depends on how you want to slant it really doesn’t it.
“Royal marries mixed race girl who was brought up in a single parent home by a mother who was a social worker but needed to work a second job as a yoga instructor to make ends meet”
would also be true, but creates a different tale to the one you chose to use.
I was in a room when it was on TV for about 5 minutes. Hearing the unquestioning positive drivel from the commentators made me realize what North Korea must be like
