Commentary: A fairy tale view of Britain

Thanks to umpteen films and PBS series, Americans prefer the fantasy land England of castles, kings and cucumber sandwiches.

Strange but true: The British public is simply not that excited about the royal wedding. According to the Economist, only a third of the population is definitely going to watch the nuptials on TV, while close to half are actively uninterested. My own secret source on the English streets (OK, it's my mum, who lives in a small town called Tring) reports that "people seem much less bothered" about Will and Kate than about Charles and Di in 1981.
