I think time and attitudes towards the monarchy have changed since HM & Philip married, even since Charles & Diana.I find the topic of the state of the economy impacting a royal wedding disturbing...
Yes the wedding will make money, for the government and some people, (mainly London based), but it will be all taxpayers expected to allow their money to be used. We have failing schools, a failing NHS, a struggling military, failing transport, failing government pension scheme, sky high fuel (petrol, diesel, home heating oil, coal, electricity, gas) and negative equity for many poor souls, fuel poverty for many more. They may not like to use the word recession but that is the only word that fits. Many have been used to good times and will, IMO, be most upset at using their money to fund the wedding of the son to the heir. Williams father and grandparents could probably buy and sell everyone without blinking.
