Well whoopi-shit.
But would they sparkle?
Have you seen the ring? That's a sizeable chunk of sparkle.

They look like sweet kids.
In other news from 1947, I hear the Empire is planning to finally grant India independence.
Some things never change.
You're right, Baba O'Riley, it makes much more sense if she was a plant sent to romance him during his time in university as part of some sort of Truman-Show-esque scheme to develop a relationship with him and take nine years for it to result in a marriage proposal.
I'm not suggesting William was unaware of the setup. Even that would be a stretch.
It seems Kate's great-great-great-great grandfather, John Harrison, labored in the grime of a coal mine owned by the family of William's great-great-great-great grandmother, Francis Bowes-Lyon.

When Diana and Charles got married, I was nearly the same age as Diana, so actually...well...cared. Or more specifically, cared about Diana and her breathtaking wardrobe.
I never cared about frumpton Charles, his frumpy mother who will probably outlive him (thus making his entire life completely irrelevant) or the pack of Corgis. I liked Fergie, but she apparently couldn't put up with them either (despite the fact that Andrew seemed to have an actual personality there for a while!), and so after she left and Diana died, my interest took a severe nose-dive. Diana and Fergie seemed to bring some life and personality into that family - some spunk - almost a kind of 'heartbeat' if you will. Without Diana, the whole lot of them are nothing but a barrel of cold fish.
I have watched exactly two events related to the royal family on TV - that being Diana & Charles' wedding, and Diana's funeral.
The kids were interesting early on because of Diana (especially so William since he looked so much like his mother)...but now the two of them have been sucked into the 'Vortex of Zzzzzz' along with rest of the family, and I no longer care even about William and Harry.
I wish William well and hope he is very happy...but my interest in the royal family died in Paris 13 years ago.

I may be awfully jaded by the entire thing and I'm shuddering at the amount of money that's going to spent on the marriage, but to be fair Kate Middletone is very attractive and has charisma, let's hope her head is screwed on more tightly than poor Diana.
I feel sorry for this chick because the press is going to hound her and try to mold her into another "Princess Diana". They will see her as filling the void Diana left when she died and will scrutinize her and hound her the same way they did Diana.
I really hope they make it together because I like Prince William and I hope she becomes her own person and doesn't do things in order to encourage the media's "Diana Fetish"

Well said. It is really too bad the Windors are so utterly vanilla that these women have been so heavily relied upon and hounded by a press desperate for something to write about this family that someone will actually read.
I do wish Kate well - Lord knows she has a tough road ahead of her. And hopefully William will be more supportive of her than Charles was of Diana as well.
I hope he is never King and that we get rid of them well before that time.
Nobody should be born with no chance of being anything other than being rich and people to do everything for you.

I don't fully understand being American, but isn't their role in your government entirely ceremonial? Aren't they just rich with some historical gravitas?
Their power is now entirely that of ceremony and tradition, yes. British government doesn't really work like yours - in the US, what is written is what happens. Here, what is done is what happens, if that makes sense. 'Tradition' is almost inseparable from law. The concept of 'common law', i.e. that's-just-the-way-we-do-things is more wide ranging than merely criminal law here.
Technically, the law is enacted by the Queen and enforced in her name and under her devolved authority. In reality, of course, Parliament writes the law and then the agencies of the Home Office and the Department of Justice enforce it. But every law still goes through the process of getting 'royal approval', and offenders are still tried in 'Crown Court' and sent to 'HM Prison Service'. The military and police swear allegiance to the Crown but actually follow the Ministry of Defence and the Home Office respectively.
The monarch is, if you like, a symbol of the nation of the United Kingdom contained within one person. The embodiment of the state. But because of many centuries of shifting influence, the actual power no longer lies with the technical 'head' of government.
They are not vampires. They are werewolves.
Not to entirely change the subject here, since British government is at issue...but....great avatar!
