Morrissey blasts royal wedding 'scroungers'

Morrissey has labelled the British royal family "benefit scroungers" ahead of Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding on Friday.

While the ceremony at London's Westminster Abbey will be attended by 1,900 guests and is expected to be watched by a worldwide audience of two billion, the former Smiths singer won't be among the viewers as he believes Queen Elizabeth and her family don't "serve any purpose".
