Thanks Lawrence - that's exactly how I feel about
the British royal family.
Fuck them and their wedding while the working class of the world continue to suffer.

2. They're kids, just wanting to get married. They couldn't have a simple wedding even if they ...
wanted one. They are, or at least he is, trapped in a way.

8. Exactly.
No one, not even Prince William, gets to choose the family into which he/she is born. Whether we, or even he and Kate, like it or not, in all likelihood he will one day become "His Majesty, (________) the (_____), by the Grace of God, of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of His other Realms and Territories King, Head of the Commonwealth, Defender of the Faith," with all the privilege (and burden) that role carries with it. At least it can be said of him that he seems to wear the "royal" bit with an appropriately light touch, and that in his public presence and bearing, in his compassion for people who are suffering, he has shown himself to be very much his mother's son. Give the guy a break, already.

9. Agreed.
Imagine how vilified they'd be if they tried to keep their private lives under wraps... it would be a freakin' nightmare.

As if the poor/rich guy doesn't have enough baggage to deal with.

7. They're a couple of kids who don't deserve all the honors they get.
But they certainly don't deserve all they shit they get either.
