Public outrage at controversial royal wedding plans

Plans for the royal wedding may be well underway for the royal wedding but members of the public are outraged at the council’s proposition to remove all the homeless from the streets of Windsor.

Last week, it was revealed that Simon Dudley, from the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead, wrote to the police asking them to do something about the homeless on the streets of Windsor before the royal wedding.

Mr Dudley claims the amount of people sleeping rough on the streets paints the town in an “unfavourable light”.

However, now a Change.org petition has been started online, with over 100,000 people signing up to support the relocation of the homeless to “safe and secure accommodation”.

‘I'm calling for this demand on the local police force to be withdrawn, and for people who are homeless not to be removed,” the petition states.

“Instead the council and local authorities should offer a suitable long-term solution for these people, including safe and secure accommodation and health advice and support.”

People who signed the petition offered up their own advice for the council, with many saying this isn’t what the royal family would want.

“Perhaps the good people of Windsor might like to actually HELP the homeless people instead of “removing” them...???,” one person said.

“The council should address the problem in-house not act as if hasn't and doesn't exist and sweep it under the carpet,” another person said.

“No one should be punished for being homeless. What a horrible world we live in,” a horrified commenter said.

“This is awful and exactly what Harry would not like, yes these people need all the help we can give, but not because of some political reason,” a woman said.

The wedding of Meghan Markle and Prince Harry is set to take place at Windsor Castle on May 19th.

Thousands are people are expected to make their way to the castle to watch as the lovebirds tie the knot in a lavish ceremony.
