The British royals are past masters at PR; they have to be since they rule by sufferance only and their family relations are somewhat dysfunctional. It really is unfortunate the British public is so enthralled of royal extravaganzas because they cost the ordinary bloke a fortune. The security provisions for the wedding alone could cost the taxpayer as much as
$33 million. All of the elitist hoopla comes a time when the Tories are imposing £81 billion in spending cuts on the country.
