The Royal Wedding - HRH Prince William and Ms. Kate Middleton


Dateline April 29 2011. The day has come for the Royal Wedding of HRH Prince William and Ms. Kate Middleton, touted to be the wedding of the decade, if not the wedding of century. I am not a fan of the British Royal Family but somehow, this family does have some mystic that piqued my curiosity about them. Especially since the horrific death of Prince William's mother, the late Princess Diana on August 31 1997.

I don't think many people would forget the image of the then 15-year old Prince William and his then 13-year old brother Prince Harry walking behind the hearse carrying the late Princess Diana's coffin during the funeral procession to Westminster Abbey back in 1997. And I am quite sure that many of us, including yours truly have hoped to see both princes would grow up into great adults, which they have had, and in good time too. 

They have indeed grown up away from the extremely prying eyes of the media that was seen as the main cause for Princess Diana's untimely demise. This Royal Wedding I think is an appropriately happy note in Prince William's life. And I think the late Princess Diana would have approved his choice of marrying Ms. Kate Middleton, a commoner with the right qualities to be the consort of the future heir to the British throne.

As the relationship between Prince William and Ms. Kate Middleton was nurtured away from the prying eyes of the media while both were studying in University of St. Andrews, there would be a good chance that their life as a married couple would last. This is because that they were allowed the opportunity to live together and be able to test their relationship from various perspectives, including break-ups.

I do hope that this Royal Wedding will breathe a fresh air into the British monarchy. And that the British people would have better confidence in the monarchy as a part of the country's Constitution. It's definitely good to know that HRH Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge is the new generation of the Royal Family poised to bring positive changes to the perception of the British people. Like most people, I sincerely hope to witness a lasting married relationship between them both, a true fairy tale to the very end.

  1. Prince William and Ms Kate were high-school sweethearts in the sense that they know each other well as they studied together and mingled together in their university days at St.Andrew.That indeed is a HUGE advantage for Katey to foster good relationships with her husband Prince William as she has been given the privilege of knowing him better during his previous schooldays.I have BIG HOPES for Kate Middleton to SUCCEED in this "fairy-tale" monarchy.I sincerely hope for the betterment of Great Britain and the succession of the Wales monarchy and England's PRIDE,please make this fairy-tale come true ~ "and they live happily ever after...."THE END.
