Britain’s reaction to the royal wedding was the hottest topic on the BBC’s hot topics of the week…
“Well I think a lot of people are talking about over all about how Royalty and stuff came about and I’m sure this is a big deal for a lot of American people who aren’t following all of this exactly. But when people talk about politics a lot of people care about politics and I think we were talking about all of that. What do you think about the Royal Wedding and all that? What was your take?”

“I guess the view that I’ll take here, because I’m a pop singer and a pop star, is that after Trump’s speech about fat people, I thought what is this country about? Why has he made so many decisions and even told the government how they should run their country? I mean I had my own view about a lot of those things. I didn’t get how a leader of the country could come forward and say the really ugly, disgusting things he said about fat people. How he supports that and I think the issues with politics today and on his face, at that moment I thought what is happening with this country? Can you imagine in a country like America and America has such history with the monarchy where the person running the country has to, we heard now what’s happening with too many fake wars with too many things, the lack of refugees and everything like that. I’m wondering why the Queen has to be there and why Trump isn’t here. Especially because I’ve heard that Trump’s pulled out of the joint spirit vote with the Canada government. But I don’t know. Something is going on. Something is going on here is causing a lot of problems for this country.”

“Well, I think it’s about the people within the situation and I think it’s about the political arena now and all the people and personalities are kind of causing big problems for them and what they’re trying to do. I think it’s just a bad situation and it’s being manipulated by these people. I just feel very happy that it was Harry and Meghan. It was so great to see them and see them on TV. Meghan was very radiant, very beautiful. It was wonderful to see them at that moment of that day and I wish them well.”

“The worst would be someone like he’s an idiot because he has the power. It’s just something on the government side. I’m not particularly political and I think the Royal Family are a big part of that but I don’t agree with all of them but I have a sense that that’s very important for the country so I’m happy to see them be happy.”
— Megan Deluerta, a two time chart topping single by a singer
“I like the fact that it was fun and I liked the royal wedding and how well it was performed and what a happy moment but I think any wedding, any happy moment is a good time. I think people can agree that a royal wedding and a lot of the events are very meaningful for the people to have a party and see other people happy and making sure that people from other countries are happy. I feel like that’s all good and why not have a good time and have some fun and maybe that’ll make me get more motivated to be happy.”
— Mini Tatiana, a six time chart topping single by a singer
“I think that they put a lot of energy into it and I think it’s a way for the Royal Family to have some sort of success and show that there is something for them. I think that it’s a nice symbol for them to put some work and energy into something like that. I think that’s a step in the right direction for them to have something that’s becoming more popular.”
— Harley McWilliams, a singer
“I don’t really like politics. I think it’s great that Meghan has gone and she’s married a man from another country and I think that that’s great. I think that’s fantastic.”
– Jessica Lambert, a singer
“I think it’s great because everyone in the world is celebrating with her and the Royal Family.”
-Kris Walker, a singer
“It’s good to have somebody they can enjoy their own success with and this is a lovely time for them to share the moment with all the different countries that she’s come from and to share in the one day moment.”
