Royally mad


With clock ticking and the countdown to the big day for Prince William and Kate Middleton, world over there has been a media frenzy in regard to their wedding.
People from many parts of the world will be treated to a live broadcast of the wedding as it goes down in London at Westminster Abbey. The event is set to attract the biggest news focus with over 6,000 journalists in London to capture and report on the big day. For some countries it will be a welcome relief from the obvious bad reports like the Japan’s earthquake disaster and violence in Ivory Coast with the wedding bringing a new item to the news on their silver screens.
A number of lessons are learnt from the days running to the wedding in regard to the importance the monarch has been given cognition. By attention being drawn to the family and the two to be couples with people waiting anxiously that the gown could be revealed and if the designer could be mention then this is being royally mad. The British Monarch is a family that has been given the unnecessary attention by news channels when there are some other fundamental issues that needed to be addressed in the world.
Fundamental questions are raised whether in this time and age the Monarch style of leadership is still relevant or Britain is being conservative and backward in keeping the Monarch that is way past with time? In every anticipation and anxiety building up to the wedding, there has been a group of critics who feel that the family is wasting taxpayer’s money in funding for the wedding which is not a necessary event for the good of everyone.
Whether the Monarch is good or bad lies within everyone’s heart and the choice to support or not supporting it is individual.

The tourist complimented the African fisherman on the quality of his fish and asked how long it took him to catch them. “Not very long,” answered the fisherman. “But then, why didn’t you stay out longer and catch more?” asked the tourist.
