Contrary to what I’ve been posting there was some happy news
in 2011! The Royal Wedding attracted an estimated audience of 2 billion people.
It was a national holiday in the UK and it gave the British a reason to
celebrate and throw a world class party. The Americans have always had a
strange relationship with the British monarchy, although they are completely
republican (not the party but the political system) they really love the
monarchy in the UK. Especially the Royal Weddings, with people gathering in
town squares to watch the pictures being broadcast from Westminster Cathedral
in London.
The future of the monarchy is in peril, with
anti-monarchists growing in numbers it may not last to the next century.
Jamaica will likely become a Republic in 2012 and Australia will probably be
next, yet with the fresh face of Catherine Middleton in the mix, will she allow
the monarchy to continue?
