I'm very happy for them. Seems like they are in love with each other as opposed to him just hunting for somebody with the right bloodlines who may be a virgin and isn't birght enough to figure out what she's getting into ( or has enough ambition for glamour and fortune she doesn't care )

Catherine may not be descended from the Duchess of Devonshire but she may have her head screwed on straight enough to weather the weird fishbowl.

I wish them luck. And I'm not surprised it is a good media story. My wife is entranced by perversely has no interest in something as important an dactually relevant as the NFL draft <g>

They did have some kind of poll in the paper today showing the percentage of American's following the Royal Wedding closely was about 3 times hgiht than in the UK. ( Maybe because we're not paying for it <g>)
