Good for the British royals.

Indeed, far too much inbreeding in the past. Di was a start, but she was from the same genepool. Ms Middleton is not only quite fit, but she is apparently the first potential Queen not to come from 'good stock' for over 300 years. 50 years ago, maybe even 20, this would never have been allowed.

Maybe the comemorative gifts should reflect the fact that she is not of noble birth.

A Will and Kate wedding thong set

The Middleton and Windsor toastie maker perhaps?

his and hers curry fork set?

Certainly, hower it may only be stainless steel, Silver plated would be far too posh

LOL.

She's "peasant stock"? Come again?

Quite happily, just tell me where to aim. /immature humour

Yes, she's loaded and so are her parents, but their fortune was self made (from selling children's party bags).

Come to think of it, aren't the bride's parents supposed to pay for these things? That should keep them from raiding the public purse.

But she's got like...middle names!

And a sister called Pippa which is usually a good indication of posh, but they're not.

dont matter, shes as common as a cold..... still Good Luck to William, heres hoping his is a long and happy marriage.

Right, time for blanket media coverage in the UK. Only 9/11 got this much.

Yeh great, go ahead and waste the licence fee on them and all

I'm just happy to see we are finally at a point that when a royal knocks up a fair maiden that they marry them instead of walking away, laughing maniacally.

So did this thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jade_Goody

Not posh in any way, although I doubt Kate will be showing her "badly packed kebab" on Big Brother anytime soon

The most important thing is to get a public holiday on their wedding day.

Another good reason not to have a telly

Except in Greece of course..

How is Pippa posh?

Pippa diminuitive of Phillipa
Philip. one's grandpapa was Greek.

She's fit, right?

It's probably now treason to say so, but I would...

She somewhat resembles Kate Perry.

Just heard an interview with her on tv, she's as privileged as they come.

These damn nouveau-riche get everywhere. She's not old money!

It's ok for you lot, I'll be on damned parade practice for fracking weeks on end to march up and down a parade square to "celebrate" the wedding!

The party will be free afterwards though so that's a bonus!

Certainly don't miss that!

Hopefully, we will all get a public holiday to 'celebrate'

Oh joy.

Something else for the public to foot the bill for.

Bloody parasites.

I don't have particularly strong views on the monarchy either way, but I do think they bring value to the country and they are big part of why the UK is still on the map.

Will there be a spontaneous outburt of street parties?
