Here comes the Royal Wedding
It can be said that UK and the British Commonwealth countries have been throwing the biggest royal wedding ever. The marriage was announced months ago, when I was still in UK. And you can tell how that news drove Britons nuts. :)
What drew my attentions at that time (and till now) was the beauty and fashion taste of Princess-to-be Kate Middleton. She has a great vogue in UK and US due to her style and, at that time, was even compared to the First Lady, Michelle Obama. What she wears, from casual clothes to hats, from necklace to earrings, has come into vogue and driven women in both side of the Atlantic Ocean mad. Honestly, she’s kinda gorgeous and beautiful, a very British style’s beauty.
If you try to google with the key words: “royal wedding”, there’s been more than 1.02 billion results (at the time of this post first composed). “All over the world are watching us, mate” :)
Frankly, Britain goes a wedding-party crazy. Let’s see what’s up on these days…
Breaktime – In Afghanistan, British soldies are staring at the screen
Union Jack girls – British chicks in Spinningfields, Manchester (where my friends and I used to watch World Cup games last year) :D
“Guess how long I’ve sat for this post, boy?” – Mr. Prime Minister has fun with kidz in Downing St. (London).
“Drink a toast, mate” – There are a lot of benders like this one in Downing St. throughout Britain :P
“Where are your faces, folks?” – in the Gulf emirate of Dubai.
“They’ll call me freedom just like a wavin’ flag…” – a masquerade Royal family in Sydney, Aus are greeting the Royal kiss lol…
Think it’s a mob? Think twice. There are swarms like this in all over the UK and Commonwealth. (All the pictures shown above were used from The Mirror’s articles, www.mirror.co.uk)
Here’s the fact: 2 billion of people are estimated to watch the live Royal nuptial vow on 29 April 2011 not including internet livestream websites yet, means that nearly 1/3 (really, one third?) world population now. If compared to Royal wed between Prince Charles and Lady Diana in 1981, nearly 750 million were estimated to watch it on TV, while the world population at that time was 4.529 billion (Source: Infoplease). Such a big difference. Lol… (Yet, I have to count for the widespread popularity of TV nowadays, not like in 30 years ago) =)) :)) :))
And then, caricatures have their say. :)

How come they haven’t been extinct? (Cartoon by Zapiro)
