Royal Reception Too Middle(ton) Of The Road

While 76% of Britons would loved to have bagged an invite to the Royal Wedding, when it comes to the reception party they'd much rather have hobnobbed with the Primrose Hill set at Kate Moss and Jamie Hince’s post wedding knees up.

The survey by CitySocialising, an online2offline socialising network for young professionals to meet new people and new friends, has revealed that when given the choice between what were two of the highest profile weddings the UK media circus, the number of people who would pick Will and Kate over Moss and Hince dropped a whopping 24%.

It seems us Brits have a great sense of nationalism...that is until we’re faced with the alternative of rubbing shoulders with supermodels and rock stars.

We can only assume the shun is down to the Royals’ plans to reign in the cost of the bash in these times of austerity, presumably we’re thinking that Moss is more likely to splash the cash and stretch to a free bar.

Sanchita Saha CEO and founder of CitySocialising commented: "I think these results are fascinating, The Royal Wedding has been portrayed as the hot ticket of 2011 largely by the media and also with the help of brands cashing in on the action. So I find it almost Ironic then that in the modern age of the ‘celebrity’ an idea largely spawned through the media and certainly nurtured by them, when it comes down to it us Brits are torn between our ingrained sense of nationalism and our obsession with Celebrity.

"Appropriate then that the ceremony – which is widely regarded as the most traditional part of the day, attracted the largest number of respondents showing patriotism when selecting the Royals, only to give into the more modern idealism of a room full of celebrities at the reception party."
