The entire system of royalty and monarchy is a dangerousl­­­y flawed one that perpetuate­­­s the worst elements of a social caste system that breeds inequality­­­. And it should be ended. Period. And this applies equally to ANY nation that practices it, whether Sweden, Saudi Arabia, or merry ol' England

where can i post quick quip on how ugly pippa's jolly green sack of a dress looked (the wedding day's evening gown)? methinks the runner up sis is trying just a little too hard.

i agree, Pippa's evening dress was a bad choice

'it should be ended". once again! pay attention; you do not have the divine right to decide whether or not the monarchies in these and other countries continue to exists. i suggest you say yourself, several times a day, "i do not get to decide; i have no say". while i think of it, please do not go to Europe, especially those countries with monarchies, until you get over the attitude that you and you alone know what is best for the people living there. i and other Americans are sick and tired of apologizing to the Europeans for the disrespectful behavior of people like you.

And if we all behaved a compliantly as you suggest--and probably are--we would still have slavery, women would not vote, blacks would have no rights, and the war in Viet Nam would probably still be raging.

What are you REALLY so afraid of Anne? Are you one of those weak little people who need the structure and control of a big daddy? Then that would make you a republican, too.

You are willing to castigate me personally and I've never attacked you before. And yet you scrupulously avoid any discussion of the issue, which is, how the example royalty sets for continuing inequality in our world is wrong. I'm sure you are raising your children to think better of themselves than as vassals.

You really do seem geneticall­­­y incapable of holding a discussion on the merits of a monarchy. That is because your position is insupporta­­­ble--AND YOU KNOW IT.
You try to prevent speech here with your self proclaimed rules. Who do you think you are--Royal­­­ty? LOL

I loved the wedding. I watched it three times. I'm depressed now that it's over.

Sad, really that people still accept the notion of 'royalty.'

Imagine a school that your children attend. At that school they've selected certain students at random, claimed they were better than all the other children through some divine right and began to denigrate and oppress your child on the basis of his being only of common birth?

Would you accept this? Heck no. You'd be down at that school in a flash with a lawyer ready to file a suit for prejudice.

That's how this idea of 'royal or noble' birth works its poison.

Who's the "they" who can select these child "royals" at random?

I watched the wedding on TV and I thought it was beautiful. I wasn't born when Princess Diana's wedding took place, but I know this is a moment I can say I watched. It's going to be a sight to see when the fashion changes and the dress is no longer in style. Needless to say, I loved it! I actually watched it on my Google TV with DISH Network so I was browsing the blogs as the wedding took place. I work and subscribe to DISH Network and I got the Google TV for the discounted price of $179 (which is also the price for DISH Network customers), instead of the $299 it retails for. I can access my DVR and tweet at the same time and I am always recommending that people check out DISH Network!

I don't think fashion changing will be a problem. The dress is remarkably similar to the one that Princess Grace wore at her wedding. Still a timeless classic.

It's over!

Not till Hollywood makes a spectacle (oops, spectacular movie) about this world breaking event. Please tell CNN it is over.

for you it's over but for those us who flew to London for the wedding it's still a party. i know that it must really upset your day that Americans would actually fly to London for the wedding but then you don't control us. you would not believe the fun we, had sleeping on the sidewalk outside West Minister Abbey for 5 days before the wedding. we each took turns going back to the hotel to shower and change; had picnics on the street with other people and other such fun. and the British security let us do it all just so long as we behaved ourselves. then there is the shopping; all the wonderful lovely souvenirs of the wedding i and others will bring back home. by the way, i've been busy showing your posts to other Americans here; they are not impressed.

Thanks for the free press. Once again I will quote Diderot, one of the great thinkers of the enlightenment and from whom we borrowed much when establishing this country:

"Men will never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest." He meant this metaphorically I am sure, and I concur.

[Hanna Schmitz]

You are so lucky to have been there.I bet it was sad when it was over. I wish I was there. Maybe for Harrys wedding.

They really are a beautiful couple. She's so sweet looking. I guess because she looks a lot like my fiance actually! but good for them, they look really happy together.
