Frog mi owd bean, for me the likes of Eugenie are far to down the royal list to warrant such pomp and splendour. If anyone should have picked up the whole bill, it should have been her lavishly rich Grandfather but, on no, they dip into the public purse once again.

Tourism? How many on here seriously think that literally thousands of people from around the world, flocked to see THIS wedding?

As for the BBC retaining rights etc to sell on, why do they charge such an extortionate licence fee if they make so much money from TV rights around the world?
