The royal wedding
The royal wedding on Saturday cost around 30 million pounds but it has been calculated that it will benefit the British economy to the tune of about one billion pounds. Good business I would say. In Spain the royal wedding has generated ever more interest in Britain. The British Ambassador to Spain, Simon Manley, held a reception at his home in the centre of Madrid for the royal wedding. It was a double celebration because the ambassador invited representatives of many of the British charities and organisations which do such good work up and down Spain and presented them with a diploma of thanks. There was a party atmosphere and many Spanish media outlets were present and, in some cases, broadcasting the event live. It was great publicity for Britain and showed the country in a great light.

We paid for the police and that is all. We fund the police at football events.The wedding will create £2bn to the economy and a tourism BOOM. I am very proud that we still have a Monarchy, amazing pageantry, wonderful Palaces. This PR event was FREE publicity to the world stage.Congratulations to Harry and Meghan.
The Royal family generate far more in income in many different ways than they receive from the civil list and I,for one,wish Meghan and Harry a long,happy marriage.
Nowt like being subservient to an old lady in a gold hat to show the world how modern and forward thinking you are as a nation.
I do not agree with the " Tax payers " having to fund these Royal occasions . It will not be long before The Duchess of Sussex has her first baby, within the marriage. Not unlike the Duchess of Cambridge , who has produced three babies already. They are the Royals Toys , the " Nannies " do all the hard work, in rearing their Siblings , and again the tax payers fund their lifestyles.
