[QUOTE="Andy, post: 423279, member: 5096"] I am not seeing much news on this in my neck of the woods. I do know of a person who will be setting their recorder to record the wedding (3:00 am our time) but will most likely be up to watch it. I will wait for news coverage during the day. We still hear people asking, "What day is the wedding?" leading to believe we have not been overrun with news coverage. Our family had the discussion on the royal family this weekend. They do not have any real power and are really expensive to maintain so why does their country keep them set up? I believe it is because they are a beloved living icon. Most countries only have landmarks that set them apart and perhaps proclaim their worth, England has living icons - royalty. Very cool! Their landmarks have a different significant because the royal family is still alive and recognized. Imagine that country without their royalty. I would think their tourism industry would take a huge hit. How they promote their royal family is very unique to the world. What would they look like without them? Would the changing of the guards still take place or be of such significance if the royal family were not in place? Even with their lack of real power, they still are the strong foundation of England. One thing I do like about the wedding (and many other events of world interest) are the documentaries aired around them. I half watched biographies of Kate and William the other night while doing other things at home. It is a great chance for t.v. stations to bring out shows that give some back ground of the family. It does get to be much when it reaches the point of overtaking the news. With all the stations we have available to us, I always believed that only one or two stations should have the continous coverage so that we can choose to take it or leave it and continue with our lives. I am sure we will get the same overrun of news coverage on the day of the wedding. [/QUOTE]
