1. Charities in line for multi-million pound boost, as Royal couple shun presents for donations
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1382266/Royal-wedding-charities-receive-5m-boost-Royal-couple-shun-presents-donations.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

William and Kate’s favourite causes are set to receive £5 million after the couple waived gifts in favour of charitable donations.

Now Kate has dropped the biggest hint yet that her name will be added to the title of The Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry – by deciding all proceeds raised from the sales of official wedding programmes should go to the charity.

16. They are giving a pittance back to the people everything they have came from
How many charities do we need to create to offset the effects of wealth and income inequality?

3. An article I found interesting on the costs and benefits.
How Much Is a Princess Worth?
Is the royal family good for the British economy or a drain on it?

18. Let's be honest, shall we?
William & Kate have been living together for quite some time

There's NO reason for them to 'get married', UNLESS, like the rest of us who 'get married' there are legal reasons/ramifications.

And, in Will & Kate's case, there are 'succession' reasons.

Expect a new royal baby in the near future. Not b/c they haven't been "doin' it" all along"....just b/c it's time (hence getting married at 30-ish)...produce the baby - not illegitimate (sp?).

Hi-ho....carry-on.
