I have a young friend, Sam, an actor, from the UK. He speaks with that great English accent, and has their easy sense of humor. I was talking about the royals and he said "Nobody pays much attention to them in the UK".
Well, that's not true here. They are in the news every day-William, Kate, and George as they make their "royal" tour of Australia.
For patient Kate, who waited 10 years to catch William, it has payed off "in spades".
"Cinderella" got her prince, and William, what did he get?
He got a nice, modest, middle class girl who is willing to lower her dresses if the queen wants her to, he got someone who is good at, and who enjoys performing her "royal duties", and he got an extended family that does not have the dysfunctional display of Diana or Fergie.
No, the Middleton's will not mess up the holidays, will gamely go along with the hunting party, will babysit their grandson, who seem to be leading the "Queen" rather than following her orders.
On the surface they appear very compromising. But remember, Kate was not afraid to beat her husband at sailing; Kate and Williams wedding was as much an advertisement for Pippa-(remember she was the only grown bridesmaid wearing a sexy white dress with 8 little flower girls surrounding her), as it was a celebration for Kate and William.
If Kate and William had a daughter, she would become Queen, forget the old rules, in with the new. Baby George would only stay one night at the "palace," then he would go back to the "Middleton's" newly acquired "bigger" house for several weeks. Forget the "nanny", Kate and her mother were going to be the "nanny".
What has been the result of all of this? The queen is happy, the "firm" is going splendidly, and the young couple with "Baby George" are charming the world. Kate lowers her dresses, but still shows up in her tight jeans, her favorite blazer, and her wedgies. She has her style, her voice, and she's using it.
The Middeltons are the "perfect" commoners to dress up the royals!!!!!!!!!
