Well, we get a new monarch automatically when the old one pops off and the rest is just bread and circuses.Am I the only one who isn't filled with excitement, at the prospect of a new monarch? I shudder to think about the millions being spent on this spectacle. It is just another opportunity for them to display their immense wealth. They are completely out of touch, with the majority of their subjects who are struggling financially.
I would want to choose my own ring it was hardly Mummy's lucky ring was it?I don’t know about that. I’m not sure I’d want a ring which famously symbolised such an unhappy marriage “whatever love is”.
He made a really good documentary a couple of years ago for ITV about the planet so hopefully this is good as well. ITV in general make pretty good royal documentaries, they had a good one for Charles 70th a few years ago.William is going to be filming a documentary with ITV about his work with homelessness charities. It will air in the summer. He can’t write a book but this is the next best thing. A way to connect with the 21st century generation. I hope we get to see some clips of the Waleses at home too.
I think I can hear plates being smashed in Montecito.
Prince William set to create in 'intimate fly-on-the-wall documentary' with ITV

I think people are resenting the fact that millions are being spent on this farce and most of us are struggling to pay bills and buy food.I kind of assumed everyone would be watching the Coronation but the older age group don't seem bothered. I've been invited to a street party but I'm having my own at home whilst watching it.
I find people who don't have a Monarchy are envious of ours as they like all the pomp and ceremony which is what I like (Kate the Princess of Wales likes that too).
We all need something to look forward to in life otherwise it would be a boring drudge so I try to find a bit of fun and happiness where I can.
It's huge and flashy as well. It doesn't seem like the kind of ring she'd have chosen for herself. I know Kate's not doing the dishes etc but I wonder if she wears it day to day around the house - it's massive.I would want to choose my own ring it was hardly Mummy's lucky ring was it?

That's exactly what it looks like. Makes me wonder if Diana would have picked it if she was a few years older getting engaged.I don't like it at all looks v Argos
Plus it was of it’s time. 80’s gaudy flash looking! It’s bloody hideous. I’d be doing a Meghan and retaining the stones but fashioned into something nicer or to my taste.I remember reading back in the day that she’d been presented with a tray of rings from Garrads and deliberately chose the biggest and flashiest ring.

Indeed she was. Incredibly young. Ridiculous really.She was 19
but isn't the alternative a presidency? That would entail an inauguration every 4 years, Trump's cost $200 million!

To be fair to William, I can see how someone in his situation - having lost a parent at a young age - would think it was lovely that his wife had his mother's ring. It's just a pity for Kate that it's such a horrible ring. Anyway you'd want a heart of stone to tell your boyfriend you don't want his dead mother's ring when he's down on his knees in front of you.To me it’s always seemed William didn’t really care about her own preferences and was too lazy or didn’t care to come up with something that she may have wanted. It’s self centered. Kate, however, I would never have said no, she put in for too much effort, and wasted so much of her life waiting for this guy to propose.
Here in the US, we spend a lot more every 4 years on inaugurations.
It depends on the people involved.
