With Prince Williams wedding come up, literally not a day has went by where something about it has been in the news here in the UK
and there have been some other stupid stuff like an american made tv film, and even more weirdly... themed condoms?!

Anyway so onto the question, does anyone here actually give a crap about the royal family? And also if you're from the uk or not... sometimes it seems like Americans like our Royals more than us.
If you havent been able to tell, personally i dont like them.. but oh well.
EDIT: okay, so far there's been about 6 pages split almost equally between:
Yeah they're great, they bring in tourism, they're ambassadors, they do charity work.
I dont really care (mainly people who arent from the UK)
and finally, No they suck, generally the reason being that actually having a monarchy is undemocratic and many people feel they're a wast of space.
So what im now going to say is, Personally i think the actual institution of a monarchy is incredibly fascist, the fact that one bloodline rules the country pretty much sums up what is wrong with the country.. and its the same with our prime ministers, Im almost certain all of the prime ministerial candidates at the last election went to eton college, and then oxford to study the same degree. Nick clegg got fast tracked into politics because of his dads position. The top 2 candidates for the leader of labour are brothers... Our country is ruled by the upper class, whether we have a monarchy or not, so either way its BS
