Maybe it's a chick thing. ;-) We love princes and princesses, pomp and circumstance, mystery (what's in the queen's purse?), drama, tragedy ... and the Royal Family provides ALL this, set in an iconic and beautiful setting ... London. PLUS there is Diana ... the beautiful, naive girl who was impossible not to love ... who met her tragic end far too soon ... whose sweet little boys adored her and were shattered at her death ... knowing that Will put off this wedding for years, worried that his bride could meet the same horrific fate as his mum ... and then succumbing to love and taking the beautiful girl as his bride. (sniff sniff). Reporters just said this wedding has 20X the global audience of the superbowl. Maybe it also has to do with a longing for civility.
Libby: I think you captured the truth in that last sentence. Very good insights, thanks.
Yes, the royals are looking a bit inbred. Thank goodness that Prince William decided to bring in fresh genetics! I mean this is a family that has basically had no new blood for 350 years! That has to do something to the family! (Have you noticed Charles' ears???)
I think the reason we are so facinated with all this royal wedding stuff is 3 fold: 1. We love Fairy Tales 2. We appreciate making fun of ridiculous hats (Princess Eugenie Wins the "Ugly Hat" Contest) and 3. It is the ultimate fantasy wedding so it's fun to watch to agree or mock the wedding choices. Just m humble opinion!
Beth: Well said. Hadn't considered the hat.
Have you ever been to England, Ad? It is such a beautiful place. Chris and I lived there for 4 yrs while our dad was stationed in the Air Force. Pretty much the only reason I watched the royal wedding that morning. Kind of wanted to see how much had changed, smiling. Hope you are doing well these days and looking forward to your next book.
