Take it from somebody who lived thru Diana&Chuck's royal shindig back in the 80's- It's all about money, tourism and how to get more folks to Great Britain for their next vacation.
At the time, I complained about all the royal hoopla to some of my British friends and I was told that the publicity would increase tourism for years to come and they were right - It did!! Thousands of tourists poured into the British Isles.
And think of all the knick-knacks, paddy-whacks and designer wedding dress patterns and paraphernalia all this trumped-up pomp&circumstance will generate.
Admittedly, the bride is mega-beautiful, a commoner and the media will play on that because it sells, sells, sells. What girl doesn't want to be a princess?
