A Royal Wedding?

Good news, folks!
We might get a Royal wedding here soon.
Speculation is mounting that Prince William, Princess Diana's oldest son and second-in-line to the throne, and his long-time girlfriend Kate Middleton could announce their engagement soon, maybe even over the Christmas holidays.
There had been rampant speculation about it last year, but then it died down, the beautiful young couple very briefly broke up, but then got back together, and now rumors are starting up again.
Maybe the Royals think a grand Royal wedding would be well, just a grand old way to break the grimness of the recession, which has hit this country particularly hard. Not to mention the grimness of the rainy British winter.
I watched a great five-part BBC series on Queen Elizabeth II last week on television, called The Queen, and it was really eye-opening, how much the British sovereign cares about her public and her image -- and how the family's very existence is largely based on their popularity.
One segment was about the Queen's "annus horribulus," when Diana died in a Paris car crash and the queen was widely criticized for her cool and delayed reaction to it, while the country went into deep paroxyms of grief. Another was about her relationship with Camilla Parker Bowles, the woman Diana accused of being a third party in her marriage to Prince Charles and who is now in fact, the prince's wife. The first segment was about the queen's coronation as a young woman; Camilla Parker Bowles ended the series.
All riveting stuff.
The TV critics largely panned the week-long, prime-time show, in which a different actress plays the queen in each segment as she ages, saying there was not that much new in it.
Hell, I learned a lot.
But then I'm American.
Or Italian.
Anyway, this dazzling new couple -- Prince William (who's got a lot of Diana in him) and his striking, willowy girlfriend Kate, could become the new young Diana and Charles, in terms of worldwide interest.
They're certainly photogenic enough.
And the Brits have been dying to love a Royal, any Royal, since Diana died.
Shoot, the whole world has.
But nobody could even light a torch to Diana.
But now, maybe, just maybe, this couple could.
Cool. I'm ready!
Bring it on!
