As an 'outsider' forgive me for saying that IMO the BRF is not handling this wedding very well in PR- terms! Zara Philips may not be a royal, she may not be on the civil list, she may not 'owe' anything particular to the British general public and yet: She's HM's second grand child; she's been in the public eye as long as I can remember! From my vantage point she appears to be well like by the Brits and she has a few merits of her own right being a world champion. It's may be a private wedding, but it's not that private!
I'd imagine that many Brits would like to get some decent pictures from Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh on Saturday. While I fully understand that there's no live coverage of the ceremony, filming the guests and the bridal couple would be the least one could expect!
I for one hope that the BRF will consider the general public on Saturday! IMO they deserve it!
