To say the royal wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton will be a massive media revelry is, at best, an understatement. Every major U.S. and international news organization and cable channel is jockeying for position. • Thirty years ago, Prince William's parents' wedding was the quintessence of royal watching. At the time, some 750 million people were said to have tuned in. This month, estimates of those who will be watching William and Kate tie the knot are as low as 1 billion viewers to as many as 2 billion. And it's happening in the early morning for U.S. royal watchers.
