What Britain needs right now is a Royal Wedding

Prince William & Kate Middleton

Britain needs a royal wedding to lift it’s spirits says the Adelaide Advertiser…

In times of adversity, Britons look to the royal family for inspiration. A recent poll found one-in-two people strongly believed Catherine would make an excellent addition to the royal household. William’s popularity rating also is high…

There has been clean-up activity at Harewood Estate near Ross-on-Wye, a property acquired by Prince Charles’s Duchy of Cornwall which has been earmarked as a possible home for William and his bride…

Historically, royal engagements have tended to be announced in February or March and weddings held in summer. With his military commitments, a wedding is unlikely this year.

    I have to agree with Ingrid on this, not only the focus this year is on William’s training but this bad recession really put a damper on a wedding. We have been in recessions before but this year’s recession is just bad. But us walking around all depressed won’t help none. After the wedding next year, we will hopefully forget that we was in a recession.

    Hi Everyone,

    Came home late after a long day at the office last week, turned on the TV, and thought that Kate Middleton had launched a career selling mobile telephones :-)

    A friend mentioned that I might be able to find the tv ad on Youtube…and there it was.

    Hope others get a smile out of this, as I did…

    Hi Rman,

    No, no idea, but, to me atleast, the resemblance is very strong…

    And we don’t get to hear this girl speak either!

    Hello! Prince William was at the stadium in Rome tonight. Unfortunately, Manchester’s not a winner, and William looked sad, but honestly I liked to see him attending such an official event with number of high-rank people (Silvio Berlusconi, Juan Carlos II) as Champions League final.

    Guys, I think this is the girl that did the photo shoot for June’s issue of Tatler Magazine and she really do look like Kate. She’s also waiting for the official announcement so she can get more work.

    Yep, this is the crux of the problem for PW…
    wedding plans are about his life (and for life), but to us they are a distraction.

    Wow they kept that pretty quiet… My goodness it is very strange that they would announce an engagement before surgery as serious as that took place.. Although maybe that is why they had a year long wait.. Very odd

    Rman I think your the girl in your video has a very striking resemblance to Kate. I’d definitely have to look twice if I was walking down the street. She would definitely get a lot of work if things worked out.

    Yes Lisa that is what I was commenting on above. It is very very strange. If he had died during surgery what on earth would they have done then? I mean it’s just so odd that they would announce it before an engagement announcement or that she wasn’t there when he had his surgery. I guess that is the life of the Royal Families…. Puzzling

    jj,duh,I did not even see your post,lol…I think the whole thing is quite odd. I cannot imagine not being present for such a serious procedure. You would think she could have cleared her schedule for such a serious thing. I guess the royals really do live in another world…

    This is really odd. A kidney transplant is not a small surgery. The doctors could not find a day when Viktoria – their future queen – is around? Viktoria could not rearrange? What are some royals thinking?

    Hello! Sojourner, definitely Prince William is a very good-looking young man. And still may I repeat again that I can see a huge potential of his intellect, his leader position,which count so much for the future king. And altogether look at him when he attends some sort of events that have something to do with children or old people.You all just look at him – he is sincerely happy.I am sure he is a perfect example of modern royal conception. The main problem in my opinion is that we don’t give him a little chance to show his real ideas,character,and ability to cope,to deal with the press. Notice please that every time there are lots of “walls” in front of the prince – his girlfriend, those eternal questions about engagement or wedding or his duty to produce an heir etc. Is it normal to discuss all this and not to let this bright and strong man recommend himself as a person. Do we know him? No. So I am convinced that if people and therefore our press will try to change an imperative from william-the husband to william-the prince or william-the leader than our point of view will expance. Of course I want all of you to know that I am not a hater or a… uhm troll and have nothing against any woman in prince william’s life. Just wish him to realize best lines of character inherited from his parents and great ancestors by himself without any other image on the stage yet. I cannot accept and actually don’t want to see him as a mirror reflecting other images or opinions.Correct me

    I think that’s because those William has to be “on” during his official outings. When he is out in his private capacity with or without girlfriend his body language for the most part screams press go away. I think he will never be comfortable with the paparazzi. Can’t say I blame him.

    None of the royals are comfortable with the paparazzi, not even the Queen but they do their royal duties no matter what.

    I know we often look at what the media writes about William & Kate and a possible engagement, some think the media is putting too much pressure on him to marry but I honestly think he don’t pay attention to public/media pressure and what we are seeing is guy that is ready to take that next step. If William wasn’t ready, he wouldn’t have included Kate in his family events, he would have kept the the relationship under wraps and Kate wouldn’t be near the royal scene. When he and The Queen brung Kate to the Order of the Garter service, that was a sign that the relationship is going the next level. Then came the royal weddings, it’s just simply progressing on it’s own and not by public/media pressure.

Even had several mass media that reported they were engaged. However big newspapers in England did not yet “heat” this news in their main pages. The Sun some time before wrote about the long love story that sprouted again from Prince William with Catherine Elizabeth ‘Kate’ Middleton. However did not tell the matter of rumours of their engagement. The gossip that developed in England mentioned, the candidate’s couple English Crown Prince this will hold the marriage in 2010.

    William’s love story with Kate Middleton, the Reading birth woman, Berkshire, England, this January 9 1982 started in the campus. They together went to class in the University St Andrews, Scotland. William and Kate could take the same subject, material went to class the history of art. They then remained in the student’s barracks that was same in the campus environment. Here their love story began to be sprouting. They went out for 7 years.
