How did Kanye West get an invite????
***Other guests known for their fashion sense include Elton John, who was a close friend of Princess Diana, and Kanye West, the rapper with a very healthy self-image. Here's hoping he doesn't repeat his Taylor Swift move during the "I do's."***

The U.K. isn't the only country in the world with a royal family and I don't believe this is the only royal wedding this year. Why anybody, especially Americans, would be fascinated with this particular event is outside of my comprehension.

That's your opinion... now lets hear from the other 311,253,863 Americans.
Better hurry... we're growing 1 person every 14 seconds in the United States... if it weren't for international migrants (most must be from the UK!)

And China is growing 4 every 14 seconds .... and India - 6 every 14 seconds.

Is it really a mystery? The US is closer to any other country with a royal family, a partner with them on several wars, recipient of the English language from them, and originally settled by them. Washington was even a loyalist until his Ohio Valley land grants were revoked.
The last parts of the article summarily represents my opinion.
If I was in the U.K. right now I would expect and welcome all this coverage. The problem is I am not in the U.K. right now. I'm in Chicago at this moment. If I wanted to be saturated in all that wedding media circus and hoopla I would've specifically made the trip over to London this week.
In all I wish the couple happy nuptials although if I was a taxpayer and my tax dollars were funding this event and their accompanying lifestyles I'd be pissed especially considering that country's current financial state.
As for the notion that the Brits are America's best friends in the world, it was probably true in 1947 but go to London today and randomly talk to a few dozen "native" Brits about their opinions of America. You'll learn real quickly that notion is a fantasy.

In a world of consistent bad news , wheres the harm in a day off from it for some happiness , even it is for someone else.
Of course I don't think it is a big deal when ANYONE gets married. I don't need to try to live my life imaging I am anyone else (athlete, movie star, tabloid figures, etc).
I come here because I am interested in coins, not fairy tale weddings from another country.
I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

This thread is definitely OFF TOPIC

I agree this is a very off-topic thread, but I will express what is apparently an unpopular opinion. I believe William and Kate can give the whole world a lift at a time when one is much needed. The wedding was worth every penny and will pay great dividends to the UK. I think (but am not certain) the wedding was a gift from the Queen.
In the United States our Head of State and Head of Government are the same person - the President. It is difficult for us to understand the power and value of a Head of State who is a symbol of the nation, and is above politics.
Yea, the monarchy over there doesn't get worshipped enough...they really need some more attention with a numismatic tribute. LOL

Well, they could have a series of coins with their Prime Ministers and Prime Ministers spouses. They could be just like our series of Presidents and First Spouses. And, hopefully, just as well designed.
