Still think the British Royal Family has no power and fulfils merely a ceremonial purpose? Think again. In order to prevent an Australian comedy show from making jokes about Prince Philip being a Nazi during the Royal Wedding, the Royals ordered broadcasters in Britain to enforce a media embargo that would have completely severed live coverage to Australia’s biggest broadcaster if they refused to cancel the satirical show.
After Prince Charles’ Clarence House found out that Australian broadcaster ABC planned to run a satirical commentary of the Royal Wedding alongside the regular feed, Charles demanded ABC cancel the show, and then ordered broadcast suppliers BBC, Associated Press, Sky and ITN to cut off the feed to Australia, a command which they instantly obeyed.

Seeing how it was their own wedding, I would expect them to be able to control where their own cameras are broadcasting to. So, it seems like they were within their rights in that case.

This is the first thread that involves the "Royals'" (We are ALL Royalty...) wedding that I deem not only worth the time to read, but should be understood by everyone. I'd give you many flags if I could.
