I remember being 21 years old when Diana and Charles got married...seeing the carriage pull up and and the sea of fabric that filled the carriage. It was what every little girl thought a princess should look like. However, now when I look at those pictures I see the loneliness in her eyes and the lack of love between them. I hope on some level he cared about her, but I have always felt that her family threw her under the bus.
Now 30 years later watching Catherine...I thought the dress, veil and bouquet were beautiful in their simplicity. I also think it showed that at 28 or 29 she was more mature in her style. And finally seeing the obvious love between William and Catherine is quite refreshing. They have had 9 years to cultivate their relationship and she has had time to slowly adjust to being in the spotlight.
I loved Pippa in the white bridesmaid dress...it was an elegant look. She is adorable and the Middleton's are obviously a very close family.
And, then Harry...what a spirit he has! You can tell that William and Harry are quite close and that Harry really likes Catherine.
Finally...my opinion...Diana did an exceptional job raising those boys. She was a wonderful mother to them. However, Charles stepped up to the plate 14 years ago and has done a fine job too. They seem well adjusted. I have read that they like Camilla and see that she makes their father happy. I hope that is true. He is their father and they are his sons...life is too short not to enjoy every moment to the fullest.
I think this next generation of royals are going to do a good job! I look forward to seeing future babies and weddings.
