William & Kate

I was excited to read last week of Prince William's and Kate Middleton's engagement. I'm interested in royalty. Not all royalty. Only a certain few. My favorite monarchs are Princess Grace of Monaco and Diana, Princess of Wales.

What brought Grace and Diana to my attention was first their beauty. Both were attractive blonde's. The second was they were both outsides to royal families. Grace was famous actress before getting married to Prince Rainier Grimaldi and Diana was a commoner, but a descended from King Charles II. After getting married, they both had children and supported special interests. Grace and Diana have another thing in common: they both tragically died in car crashes. Both of these lovely ladies are gone, but I still love reading about them.

Now, hopefully Kate Middleton doesn't have an ending like them. I hope Prince William and her marriage will be different. She is not as young as Grace and Diana. She is older and hopefully mature enough to handle everything thrown her way. I think Kate is elegant, lovely and her fashion sense is wonderful. I'm looking forward to all of their wedding planning. The dress, the ring and of course the wedding.
