Only 160,000 Germans watch Hohenzollern wedding in Prussia; Pope gives special blessing to “imperial couple”

“On Saturday, Prince Georg Friedrich von Preußen wed Princess Sophie von Isenburg. Despite efforts by the tabloid press to blow the event up to Will and Kate-sized proportions, most people haven’t been able to muster much enthusiasm for the marriage of two business graduates,” says Deutsche Welle.

Just 160,000 people watched the semi-state wedding of the Hohenzollern heir — involving a blessing by the Pope for the “imperial couple” – on Prussia’s regional state broadcasting company RBB’s website  in spite of gigantic  hype in the German media, especially in Axel Srpinger’s Bild and Die Welt newspapers.

Who knows? Among those watching the livestream may even have been the scriptwriters of Captain American: First Avenger, looking for material for a new film on Kaiser junior.
