It's just been announced that William and Kate have become engaged and the wedding is to be next year. It seems she will no longer be referred to as 'Kate' but Catherine as befits a royal princess!
Love and light

Dont think I would relish that young womans life one bit. Well maybe the bit about the shopping, cooking and cleaning:)

Im not a royalist but I say The very best of luck to them for a long and happy life together xx
I am not a royalist but queen has been in my dreams so frequently these last few months. I think she has converted me! so yes very excited about the wedding!

I wish them all the best for their future together, but agree with Linda that it won't be easy for Kate ... even without the chores. Let's hope they train her a bit better than they did Diana who was dumped in to the fray with very little instruction. Their life is so different from our everyday existence.
Am I the only one who could care less? Once the date is announced I'm booking a holiday at the same time - in a remote place with no TV or radio!
I'm with you Jabba- why all the hoo ha???
Feel sorry for William anyone can see he's gay.

I thought it was Edward that was gay.
Anyhow, I'm with JTH, I'll also book a holiday when the wedding is on and not take a radio with me which I normally do. It's bad enough this evening trying to find a news channel not obsessed with the engagement. I wouldn't mine but it's the OTT coverage. Ended up watching Russia Today instead.

Reminds me of that song by The Clash
"And don't forget to grovel!"
Seriously, how pathetic it all is. The country's going down the pan, and our leaders think we'll all feel better for a royal wedding. and actually most of us will, but that's cos emotional manipulation is quite easy, and the Royals are experts at it.
The radio was going on about how its the first time an heir to the throne has married a member of the middle class, rather than an aristocrat or another royal- as if this was some great leap forward for our society.
These people still expect deference, just because of their ancestry, irrespective of their own rather limited achievements. What a contrast with the really great people in this world like Mandela and Aung San Suu Chyi, who generally seem to be very unassuming and modest.
bread and circuses?
Well I'm pleased for them. I LOVE a royal wedding.
Of COURSE the media will be full of it. They are our royal family and people have been speculating about them for years.

OUR Royal Family? I didn't vote for them. I thought I lived in an autonomous collective!
