> [@jjimm](#): > > Who’s representing the US? Our ambassador to the Court of St James. This isn’t technically a state occasion so President Obama wasn’t invited. The only foreign heads of state invited are royals, plus a bunch of governors-general and prime ministers from the Commonwealth. Gorgeous wedding dress, so classic and elegant. 🙂 Good job Sara Burton. ---

She looks hot in that dress. She’s perfect princess material I think: perfectly pretty, but not beautiful. Being beautiful causes problems - see Diana. ---

Yeah, he does. But he also looks like Diana’s brother. Anyway, I love how he just checked over his shoulder and then appeared to say “It’s okay, mate; she’s on her way.” ---

> [@jjimm](#): > > Who’s representing the US? No one, it’s not a state affair. Prince Charles wedding was a state affair because he’s heir to the throne. William is not _the_ heir but second in line. Only the heads of the Commonwealth nations, (Australia, Brunei, Canada, etc) are automatic invites. Kate is very pretty but her dress is too low cut. From the long angles all you can see is her cleavage. And William’s bald spot is the same way. Someone didn’t plan very well for that. I mean the guy can’t help it but it’s kind of odd that from the very very long shots, you can pick William out of the hundreds of people. ---
