Gee, maybe she could contribute to the “child of wealth” thread…

I don’t think it has exactly dominated the news in the US. I’ll be DVRing it. These ceremonies are something the British do better than anyone, I’ll be watching just for the majesty (no pun intended) of it all.
Kate seems to be a decent enough person, as does William. Glad she gets to marry him before all of his hair leaves him.
When Di married Charles, she was smoking hot. I think being stuck in a loveless marriage and living in the fishbowl aged her quite a bit. I hope Kate has a better life, and since William doesn’t seem to be a cad like his father, I think she will.
