I read with interest a small article informing us that some 'ordinary people' were to be invited into Windsor Castle to observe the royal wedding.
What a gross insult to all the hard-working, intelligent people in this country to class them thus.
It is reminiscent of the scenes at Versailles when the peasants were allowed the privilege of watching the royal family eat and were perhaps thrown a few scraps.
We all know what happened to Marie Antoinette, so perhaps our royal family should take note.
