     The wedding between Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29 has focused the world's

attention on the UK.

     In Britain, there is a constant debate about the connection of the royal family with modern British

society. However, Windsor (the family name of the British Royal Family) and Middleton have been seen

to represent a more modern, forward-looking nation.

     Nigel Baker, the British ambassador to Bolivia, believes that the royal wedding is "about modern

Britain". "The estimated 2 billion spectators across the world will see that Britain is one of the most

culturally and ethnically(种族上)various nations in the world, home to 270 nationalities speaking 300

different languages, founded on tolerance and respect for difference," wrote Baker on his blog.

     According to Baker, the wedding could help viewers to see "why Britain is one of the most dynamic

(有活力的)and creative countries in the world": The television on which most people watched the event

was invented by John Logie Baird, a Briton, and the World Wide Web that broadcast the event to

millions more was invented by another Briton, Tim Berners-Lee.

     The guests who attended the wedding ceremony gave more than a few clues as to the nature of

modern Britain. David and Victoria Beckham represent Britain's obsession(着迷)with football and

celebrity.

     Leaders from different religious backgrounds supported Baker's comments on the multicultural nature

of modern British society.

     Before the wedding, David Elliott, arts director of the British Council China, agreed that the wedding

would be a showcase for modern Britain: "I think, and hope, that it (modern British influence) would be

values like openness, multiculturalism, creativity, sense of humor and the traditional British sense of fair

play," he said.

     Furthermore, events such as the Olympics in London in 2012 may also increase people's sense of

Britishness.

     According to a poll published in Daily Telegraph, more than a third of people in the UK admitted they

felt "very British" when watching the Olympics.
