While billions around the world will be tuning in, it seems the Irish still dislike all that royal pomp and circumstance which surround such a day.

Meanwhile 34 percent said they would be tuning in to all the glitz and glamor on the day while 9 percent are undecided.

That contrasts greatly with Britain where up to 90 percent of the populace are expected to tune in to witness the nuptials.

The fact that it is happening on a Saturday means that a larger number of people than normal will be free to watch all or part of the ceremony. British pubs will be allowed open until 1am, two hours later than usual.

American networks have already gone wild for the wedding with live wall-to-wall coverage on all the networks. Interest is even greater than usual because it is an American mixed-race woman who is getting married to her prince.

Tell us if you plan to watch the wedding on May 19th and why or why not!
