When she first came into the public eye I thought she looked a bit like a very good looking Charlotte Church, she looks even better now. Fair play Wills. Fair play.

On the money - a generation or two back the royal family was skint. A deal was struck that they no longer paid tax and since then they have amassed the fortune. However a lot of what is considered their wealth cannot actually be sold in reality.
Other European royals don't live as lavishly and there is no need for ours to do so either.

Yes, on the subject of looks, can't say I agree with you on the Charlotte Church thing (I think she's always been hotter), but well done him indeed! He is after all going nicely bald, and looks at least 20 years older than he is, she just gets hotter and hotter the older she gets!

Hot is not the word!!

How long before Charles does her?
I don't really care about this anymore. The royals lost their credibility years ago. Pompous, ancient, inbred and out of touch.
As for re-using mummies ring, I'd be a bit peeved if I was her. What next? A set of Mercedes keys and a personal driver.....

you have to remember that both his sons are active serving members of the British armed forces.
and if they lived in awful housing conditions that passes for MOD homes and had to exist on a just a soldiers wage I'd have more respect for them rather than just playing at war because there's **** all else for them to do
agreed, there's being at war as a soldier and there's 'having a little looksie' fair play to both him and his brother for going, but there's no way either of them will ever be in a position of significant danger.
His burd ain't bad looking, I'd smash her backdoor in, doesn't strike me as a goer though

up until last night i avoided this thread 'cos i cant stand the royals personally, but something i caught on the news before bed made me chuckle last night..... instead of her saying "i'm looking forward to spending the rest of my life with wil" she said "i'm looking forward to spending some more time with wil"! (or something along those lines.. it was lst night and i'm not looking online for an exact quote at this time of the morning)
and the bbc commentary said something along the lines of "a ring that symbolises his mothers death and a failed marriage"!
oh lordy how i chuckled, how i chuckled.
oh yeah, and david cameron standing outside number 10 grinning away like someone had just ticked his nutsack... (again, not an exact quote) "when we were told the news everyone around the table let out a Huzzah! and we had to stop torturing the poor with our hunting dogs to cheer with ample toryness"
other than that mentioned above which made me chuckle, i'm hoping all this will have as little effect on me as possible as i really dont give a ****

Apparently, hence your contributions to this thread + the other one you started about the royals

surely the question we should be asking is can it be better than dave & victoria's wedding or cheryl & ashley's or even the gypsy wedding on channel 4 a while ago

well pointed out, the other one was started for a chuckle, hoping it'd get a reaction and make some people spit out their porridge in disgust
but then again if the subject of the day was football (which again i know nothing/care very little about) i'd probably do the same.

Good luck to them both, hope he treats her better than his dad did to Diana.
He has not done bad there for a crab.

I am sick of it already - I couldn't even have the tv on this morning as I was getting ready for work.
And on the local news last night their main news item was 'Kate's dad used to live in our region' and 'William recently spoke to a soldier from our region'.
Really? So ufcking what.

I'm looking forward to Jon Stewart's take on it all on the Daily Show, he seems to cover british stuff.

Her grandfather was a coal miner apparently, so I'm curious about where she got the plummiest accent in the world?

I dunno, but the media keep telling us she's from a normal middleclass family.
Middleclass? WTF does that mean? I really have no idea!
E.G. People like that woman who edits Majesty magazine always bang on about "Royals" dating a "commoners" and what a shocker this is. What a load of supercilious tosh! These partners of the Royals are almost always upperclass and I don't get why there is this weird preoccupation whether they are good enough for the the Royal family. From what I can see, these other highly successful, highly affluent posh people are every but as upperclass as the Monarchy. It's farcical!
So why do upperclass people get referred to as middleclass? Are upperclass people being patronisingly modest?
Personally, I think this ancient British disease of catagorising into people into a social heirarchy is not healthy. We should be more respectful towards each other and get focused on making a better life for all.
People who aspire to speak with a plummy accent, not by birth, are out of touch. They clearly have an innate arrogance and self-appointed sense of superiority. In this day and age, these people all quite embarrassing,, IMHO.
Jeez, i'm so left wing!

It works on the other side of the coin too...well off (or 'middleclass') people will insist that they're working class.
Maybe they want people to think they come from the streets, init? And didn't grow up with plenty of money and two holidays each year.
My Dad has this habit of pointing out our Grandad was a miner therefore we're all working class.

I like that word! (working) People belonging to the group who go to work and put their back into it should be held in very high esteem indeed! Especially if they only earn peanuts, because it takes someone with a true work ethic to graft for so little reward. Hat's off to them!

Oh sorry, Kate and William,,,,,,

The traditional 'class' definitions go back to someone's book from the 18th century or something. Working classes are people that do and make stuff, middle classes are people that have money and manage stuff. Upper classes are ONLY nobility. So no matter how much money you have you can't become upper class. That was then, of course.
Now, the richest people in the world are often middle class or even from working class backgrounds. You can also be middle class but poor, and even upper class but poor. Also being in a 'profession' used to mark you out as being middle class but some ie teachers are now fairly poorly off!
And in America the traditional class designations are different - middle class means the average Joe, who would be uswually be working class by our definitions.

Or no other choice!
Posted 1 year ago # -
I don't see why anyone would be proud to work really hard for little reward? Fine if you love the work, if you get pleasure from creating something worthwhile, but to graft hard for bugger all reward is plain stupid.... in most cases....

even upper class but poor

You can also be middle class but poor, and even upper class but poor
Don't be so ridiculous. How on Earth d'you work that one out?

She's accepted an engagement ring that belonged to William's mother. I guess you lot would all be up in arms if he'd gone out and bought Kate a million pound diamond ring.
Also her family have worked their way up in the world. I say good on them.

One bit of advice Kate, wear a seatbelt

Exactly.
During these austere times William couldn't afford to spend a million pounds on a diamond ring, so they will have to make do with a second hand one.
Now if that doesn't prove how "we are all in this together", then I don't know what does.
And I'm also, very impressed with how William has decided to marry the daughter of self-made millionaires. After all, it would have been rather depressing if he had chosen to marry someone who's parents hadn't even bothered to make several million pounds. Let's hope the thought didn't even cross his mind.
