If there’s such support for the royals, why did the UK TV ratings suck for the recent wedding...?
1. Not everyone who supports the monarchy is going to sit through 3+ hours of wedding coverage (I’d gouge out my eyes first).
2. It was during the day on the weekend, and the weather was nice.
3. Prince Harry, while popular, is sixth in line for the throne, so this was not a national event, other events (sports, etc...) were still scheduled. IIRC during Charles’ wedding (that of the heir to the throne, therefore a sign of stability), pretty much everything shut down.
My wife, an American, watched the whole thing start to finish, she gushed about the clothes, location, etc... I did yard work that day. (NOTE: We live in Germany, so it was afternoon here too).
P.S. If you do travel to Britain, Windsor Castle is a must see, the Royal Family has done a top notch job presenting it. The place drips with history.
