What is your opinion of them? Do you care about the wedding?
Would love to hear peoples opinions, and it's often said that Americans love the royal family, is this really true?
Personally I can't stand them and would love to see them abolished.
-
Can agree more, they cost us millions and this wedding is a joke.
Get rid of them a million percent
-
I'll be watching the wedding, cause i like meghan as an actress.
as for the royal family in general, i dont have any strong feelings either way really
-
I'm indifferent about the royals too. I understand the need for the tourism they provide the country but it is very frustrating that taxpayers money is used to fund things like the recent palace renovations (£300m) and now this wedding. They are the richest family in the country and should not be taking from the system in this manner.
I am glad they are moving with the times though, it is great to see both princes marrying non-royals and Harry somebody of another ethnicity. Very progressive. Maybe they are concerned about becoming too out of touch :)

Is he royal though?

Who cares. The whole concept of a royal family is outdated by hundreds of years XD

Meh.
Do you care about the wedding?
Really couldn't care less.
Can't wait for it to be over so the TV goes back to normal.
I read somewhere that two-thirds of the UK don't care about the royal wedding. No source though, so take that with a pinch of salt.

Dont really care for the royal fam
More annoyed that meghan left suits tbf or the fact I aint marrying her [-(
-
Honestly don't know much about them so I really have no interest. To me it's a wedding and is blown way out of proportion.
I will say though that before Meghan Markle was famous, I knew her from one of my favorite TV shows in America... Suits.
From season 1 in 2011 she was my "celebrity crush" and now she's blown up into such an icon lol.

I don't know much about England's royal family, but I appreciate ours and the preservation of history. As far as the economic arguments go, the appanage (in Sweden) is by conservative estimates lower than the PR value they provide. Perhaps that's the case for UK as well? Consider also what presidential politics would be like if they were abolished. How much tax money do those elections cost and does it even benefit democracy?
-
Does not care at all, kinda annyoing to see how even estonian media is constantly writing some random news about royal family.
-
Always seems like other countries care more than us. Everyone they interviewed at Wills wedding in 2011 in London came over from other countries to see it.

Edit: He has done alot for armed forces charities etc and the Invictus games; along with humanitarian work

It all over American Tv. I just cant stand all the talk about them , it has nothing to do with American news so why put so much important on them on American tv . I two think it should be abolished. Marriott hotel gave my mom the day off just to watch the wedding.
I am getting ready for my brother wedding rather then the royals.
-
Had it on at work today, no matter what you think about the royal family... Think we can all agree Megan looked absolutely stunning. ^^
-
I don't really feel the hype with royal weddings tbh, also I was at school so wasn't able to watch it anyway
-
Im not from the UK, so i dont know much about the royal family..
I watched the wedding anyways on the dutch TV, but i dont really have an opinion on the wedding.
Meghan looked beautiful in that dress, and they look like a happy couple..
About the royal family.. lets say i dont like the dutch royal family.. again i dont know much of the UK one.
