It must be of interest as the event was broadcast to over 180 countries with an expected audience of 2 billion people.
I don't follow the logic. How does being born and raised in Scotland automatically make one a republican? They are the royal family of Great Britain.
That said, I did note a conspicuous lack of anything remotely Scottish associated with the wedding. The Duke of Kent in the uniform of a Colonel in Chief of the Scots Guards notwithstanding. Not that I expect wall to wall bagpipes and kilts, as thats not all there is to Scotland and only represents one historic language/cultural group of Scotland, but in as much as the groom attended St. Andrew's and met his bride there, I expected a little something.
