The post you are reporting:
The wedding is all over and a new superstar emerges to take the world by storm. It will not be long before 'Kate Mania' is the talk of the world.
I am a great supporter of our constitutional monarchy and have no time for the purse lipped cumudgeonly republican tendancy that is thankfully a tiny minority.
That said I did not take a great deal of interest in the wedding and, frankly, get bored by too much ceremony and the whole 'church thing' I find a total turn off.
That said the events yesterday demonstrate one of the many reasons for our monachy being Britain's greatest asset.
The day went off with the kind of perfection that only our two greatest institutions, the monachy and our military, can manage. A truly brilliant spectacle that no-where else in the world can match.
The BBC estimate at around 2bn people worldwide were watching. A third of the world's population. That is staggering, who else might get married and attract such a massive audience, nobody, nobody else in the world can match that.
Imagine the boost that will have for our tourism industry in the years ahead. A boost that our new superstar, the Duchess of Cambridge, no - blow that, Princess Kate is what she will be known by despite being technically incorrect, will add to in the years ahead.
Imagine the boost our fashion industry will get.
What about wedding too - there will no doubt a great gain to the hospitality industry too....
The knock on effect of all this will be a massive help to our economy.....just when it is needed.
Oh yes - we have the Jubillee to come soon as well........Billions worldwide will tune in to that too further boosting our economy....
The royals are Britain's biggest advantage in world trade and influence.
That is why the misable cumudgeonly republicans in this country will always be an out of touch minority.
