Royals should never be like the rest of us
KAMLOOPS — You’d have to be living under a rock not to know there was a big wedding this Victoria Day weekend. And even if you didn’t get up in the middle of the night to watch it on the telly, you no doubt saw highlights on the news.
It was, by all accounts, an expensive affair — hundreds of thousands for the dress, the flowers, the ring, the cake, the sausage rolls. No matter who paid for it, more than a few are questioning the extravagance.
Those, of course, are the party poopers, the ones who solemnly believe the days of royalty should be put behind us.
And yet, others are loyal Royal watchers to the core. They’ll point out that all the expense is a good investment in the British economy from the resulting tourism and souvenir sales alone, and will say it’s a tradition worth keeping.
