Seriously? How often do we get to see a huge wedding between a member of the British monarchy and a mixed race American? How often do we get to see that taking place in a British castle with hundreds of known and not so known celebrities dressed in morning suits and decorative hats? How often do we get to see all this followed by a parade through the small town led by a horse drawn carriage? Make no mistake, if Trump had been invited, his supporters would be slobbering all over themselves with adoration.

And the Obamas were invited and chose not to attend, probably because they didn't want to upstage Cheeto Jesus. They're much classier than I am!

Yes it was so racist, there were far too many black people there and there was a complete under representation of Eskimos, Aborigines, Pygmies, Zulus and Umpa Lumpas.
Furthermore the Bushmen of the Kalahari were completley snubbed as were the Pirahã people of the Amazon Rainforests.
There was also not one Dwarf, Elf, Gnome, Gremlin, Hobbit, Imp, Pixie or Sprite, although there were a few Fairies knocking about to be fair. The Klingon's were also not invited, indeed neither were the Vulcans and I didn't see one Ewok at that Wedding.
This is a national disgrace and I shall be writing a strongly worded letter to my Local Member of Parliament and I suggest you write a strongly worded letter to the British Embassy in Washington DC who I am sure will be delighted to receive your letter.
The ultimate celebration of racism, elitism and privilege.Nice of them to show their true colors.
As far as the royal family goes, you appear to be about 20 years behind the times.
Racism and elitism? You do know Meghan's mother is black--correct?
William and Harry both served actively in the military and reserves--Harry did two tours of duty in Afghanistan. Most of the men in their honor guard procession were the veterans he served with.
They spend most of their time performing philanthropic acts, helping those that are ill and less fortunate and working to save the environment.
Harry is especially partial to helping and working with vets who have been maimed and injured in battle; is involved with the Invictus Games; helping orphaned poverty-stricken third world world children, helping sick children; providing opportunity and education for low income kids.
William supports multiple conservation and endangered species efforts; helping the disadvantaged of society, visiting children in hospitals and schools, etc.
"...Rather than wedding gifts, Harry and Meghan requested people contribute to charities, including (click here for a fuller outline) are Crisis, a homeless charity in the U.K.; Chiva, which works with young people living with H.I.V.; the Myna Mahila Foundation in India working to empower women and young girls in Mumbai’s slums; Scotty’s Little Soldiers, a small charity to help children with parents in the Armed Forces; StreetGames, a national sports charity helping young people in the U.K.’s most disadvantaged areas; Surfers against Sewage, a marine conservation and campaigning charity; and Wilderness Foundation U.K., a social-welfare organization transforming lives using nature..."
Meghan is biracial and the wedding guests and ceremony was massively diverse--the opposite of racist.
And, btw, compare those young men of the Royal Family to the US First Family--the Trumps, who totally devote themselves to enriching themselves, helping themselves, ignoring those less fortunate, insulting those less fortunate, and using their money, fame and celebrity to make money for themselves. When was the last time Javanka, Don Jr., Tiffany, or Eric went to visit a hospital and talk to children dying from cancer? How many tours of duty or military service have ANY of the Trump family served?
I find your comment ironically revolting and totally divorced from reality.
If any family is elitist and racist, it is the one occupying our WH. The First Family should take some lessons from Princes William and Harry and their wives regarding how those who are born into privileged families might act.

It was a classy choice, given what the nasty tongued Trump supports would have said on social media and I hope they got to sneak into one of the private after-parties. I also have to wonder if Melania stayed in the hospital so long was a diversion away from question about why she didn't attend.

Wish I could give you a rep point for this information. They will continue to be a power couple for good in world and will do their country proud. I wonder how much money they raised for charities by asking their wedding guests to donate.
Gotta take a break from covering school shooting, royal wedding don't happen every week.
