Who are you?

The Roundhead (0-10 right answers)

Your anti-monarchy comrades threw an anti-royal wedding party on Friday that finished at 11 minutes to five precisely – or 1649, get it? But Black Friday was no occasion for even the blackest of humour. So you packed yourself on a ferry to France (Vive la République!). Frenchie knew what to do with a bloody aristo! Anyway, Ireland's not so good for a booze cruise ...

The Penny Pincher (11-20 points)

Incandescent! That's what you are – incandescent! That your hard-earned tax pounds down the gullets of a load of scrounging hoorays as the country goes to the wall. Over the years you've restricted your profound antipathy towards "the bloody royals" to throwing a slipper at the telly the odd time "Prince" Andrew's over-privileged, under-shot mug pops up on it. But Friday's multimillion-pound knees-up was the last straw. All in this together? Not bleedin' likely.

The Day Tripper (21-30)

Royal wedding? Whatever. It's the extra day off that counts – on the golf course, out on your bike, in bed after a big night clubbing ... You don't mind tuning in to the misadventures of Elizabeth and her brood as a sort of blue-blood soap opera, but all this daft flag-waving? No thanks! Still – you sneaked a peak at the dress on your smartphone and caught the news on Friday (but with a snort that you hoped said "amused detachment").

The Party Animal (31-40)

It's all a bit of a laugh, isn't it? And a good excuse to dress up and get merry, so you and your mates toddled off to the Duke of Cambridge, dressed in tiaras and tails. Ironically, of course. There was a real sense of camaraderie watching the wedding on the pub telly – it brought you all together, just like the World Cup. The biggest cheer came when you heard Kate's new title – everyone had a pint on the house!

The Well-wisher (41-50)

Good luck to them, you say. Will and Kate have got their heads screwed on, not like that Diana. You do wonder if the Royal Family isn't a bit anachronistic, but it works well enough, so we might as well leave it. The neighbours had a few drinks round the telly – "leave snootiness and irony at the door" – so you joined them. Any excuse for a party!

The Cavalier (51-62)

You're a proud royalist and loved every minute. What's not to like? The bunting, the glamour, the reminder that Britain was once great. Anyone who says the Royal Family costs too much needs to lighten up. Anyway, they bring in millions through tourism, unite the country, and, besides, nobody wants a president. Your husband organised a street party for the neighbours, though you were camped outside the abbey from Tuesday.
