Do you really think that the sum spent on the wedding isn't covered by the boost to tourism, .
Originally posted by @wolfgang59Don’t worry I’m sure that when the country goes down the shi**er and Jeremy takes over, everything will be put right and we can all doff our Leninist caps to the new constitution of nothingness.
Yep.
The mythical "Boost to Tourism" is always talked about but never quantified.

I think before getting too upset about the cost of the wedding to the taxpayer, one should take into account the amount of revenue generated for the exchequer. Anyway some things are in my humble opinion worth paying for; this is history in the making, pomp and circumstance, and it's something which we Brits do better than anyone else. Long may it remain so!

Originally posted by @wolfgang59Britain is recognised as a world-class destination for culture and heritage. Although VisitBritain does not collate statistics on the royal family as an attraction, in a 2012 response to a freedom of information request under its former name as the British Tourist Authority, it estimated that those visitors to the UK who are attracted by British culture and heritage spend in the region of £4.5 billion annually, out of a total overseas visitor spend of £17 billion. Approximately £500m of that £4.5 billion is attributed to attractions and events connected to the royal family, past and present.
Yep.

Originally posted by @ghost-of-a-dukeIt’s amusing how people like Wolfgang59 emigrate to the other side of the world and subsequently spend all their time bemoaning the state of the UK.

Originally posted by @divegeesterI watched a lot of the proceedings on TV, it was on most of the day here.
Well done for having the internet...
Most people here loved the day and are proud of the heritage. You don’t live here, you don’t pay taxes here and you will probalby never even visit the uk, so frankly, it’s none of your business, it’s none of your money and no one here cares what you think about it.
Originally posted by @divegeesterI can tell you that it will not be paying 42.8 milliion on a wedding...LOL.. I am not a tourist guide by the way, you would have to contact them if you are truly interested. Do you want me to get you a number?

Originally posted by @suzianneThe wedding dress was in the 6 digit number which they say she paid for herself. That was some long train on the dress, it was a nice touch having the kids there walking behind instead of bridesmaids.

The wedding itself was marvelous and the trip after in the Ascot Landau Carriage was charming. I loved Meghan's dress she wore to the reception, it was my favorite of the day.
