Politics Daily: Another Royal Wedding: Bah! Humbug!

Delia Lloyd, Correspondent

LONDON -- As news of Prince William's engagement to Kate Middleton spreads like wildfire around the globe, reactions seem to fall into one of two camps. On the one hand, there are the people like British Prime Minister David Cameron, the entire British press corps and . . . just about everybody else on the planet -- who are over the moon with elation.

And then there are the few, the proud . . . the only ones who really wish the whole thing would just go away. In case you haven't guessed, I'm in the second camp. I went so far as to launch a new hashtag on Twitter last night: #icouldn'tcarelessabouttheroyalwedding.


I realize that I'm an outlier on this topic. Most people are much more like my colleague Suzi Parker who described how she "got up at an ungodly hour to watch every minute of Diana's wedding to a prince named Charles."

Rightardia agrees. First, Royals are a throwback to the age of feudalism: Feudalism was a set of political and military customs in medieval Europe that flourished between the ninth and fifteenth centuries.

It is incredible to Rightardia that anyone pays any attention to these people at all. Even worse, the wedding preparation, then the wedding, the honeymoon and all of that poppycock that goes on with royals will follow for months and be splashed continuously on TV.

Oh, please. Gag me with a spoon! Flush the royals!
