I thought this thread was about the wedding, not a debate about whether Britain should have a royal family or not.

The discussion centers around the royal wedding, with participants expressing varying degrees of interest and criticism. Some participants show indifference, questioning the significance of the wedding and the public's excitement, while others defend the royal family's cultural importance and the wedding's potential economic benefits through tourism. Suggestions for making the event more entertaining, such as introducing American-style competition, are met with resistance, emphasizing a desire to maintain British traditions. There is also debate about the titles of royal family members, particularly regarding Camilla's future title when Charles becomes king. The conversation touches on historical perspectives of the monarchy, with some arguing that the royal family has been more of a liability than a benefit, while others highlight its ceremonial role and the national pride it fosters. Overall, the thread reflects a mix of skepticism, nostalgia, and cultural pride surrounding the royal wedding and the monarchy itself.
