No, it has nothing to do with it lol. England is a has been, they will never again be an empire I would bet my life on it.

I guess it's because it's around a month to the wedding now.
Also, royal weddings are few and far between so when they do happen they're publicised heavily.
The Royal Family don't do anything other than act as an economy boost for Britain's tourism, again another reason why this will get rammed down our throats for the next month or so.
The focus is on Kate Middleton really. An attractive stylish modern girl, which is probably why the royal wedding is seeping into more every day media - not just news channels. I only have to pick up on of the various fashion magazines my girlfriend 'reads' (they're more like picture books) and see how many 'Get The Kate Look' articles there are.
You won't see many girls trying to achieve the Camilla Parker Bowles look....

Unlike Charles and Diana's wedding, Britain not to mention the global community wasn't going through so much political and economic upheaval, so why would the average citizen give a damn if some royalty is tying the knot? In a nutshell it's a rushed media ritual to distract people which I'm doubtful it would be successful since people have their hands full trying to survive the destruction of the global economy.edit on 7-3-2011 by Chai_An because: misspelled word

As an English guy who actually likes the Royal Family, I have to say, I got sick and tired of the talk and hype about this damn wedding way back when it was first announced. I know we don't get many weddings (especially when it's the heir to the throne) but I've grown to hate both William and Kate purely because of all of the damn media obsession with them just like I despise reality shows and just like I despise a war hero being constantly put in my face on tv and in newspapers for doing some cheap, tacky show where non-celebs and Vanilla Ice skate around on ice while an actual skater, a former Spice Girl and a fashion expert from a crappy daytime tv show judge and moronic viewers who watch it vote people out for £1.50 a minute on their phones.
