Off with their hats! It was bigger than the Super Bowl and as tacky as a legion of Elvis impersonators. Most of all, it was disturbingly white. Yesterday's little wedding of William and Kate, a worldwide showcase of dreadful hats, fad diets and an unusually sour, lemon-yellow-clad queen, was designed to prove to the common man that the royals, finally, were down with the people. But from the moment a triumphant Kate tiptoed with her dad onto the red carpet -- yes, she walked an actual red carpet to and from the altar -- I saw not a potential queen. Kate bore the look of a lithe human sacrifice. Or was she ready to faint from her starvation diet? Her mouth smiled. But in her eyes -- terror. Who can blame her? Kate waited eight years for this moment, outlasting an endless parade of bimbos and stunning babes, most of them blond, at least five of them wedding guests (go figure, Brits), to win the hand of the badly balding heir to the throne. "You look beautiful!" William said, sounding a trifle too surprised, as she sailed into his orbit. These had to be the second-most dorky words ever to emerge from the mouth of a prince, after Wills' dad's unfortunate musings on becoming Camilla's feminine hygiene product. Kate did her best to paint on a smile, as the claustrophobically reserved royal mob made asses of themselves, craning their necks to give Kate the once-over, like a hunk of meat. It was showtime! Perhaps it was a bad omen. Or a sign of water retention. But when it came time to be Mr. and Mrs. Or Duke and Duchess. Or whatever the heck this pair will call each other in the

Most of all, it was disturbingly white.
But near the end she comes out with this:
The pomp and ridiculousness then spilled to the streets. Brits in T-shirts and jeans gathered for days to catch a glimpse of the white folks riding to Buckingham Palace, and a wedding night that is, famously, old news for the couple.
She was talking about race? White folks? What is up with that? That was the furthest thing from my mind when I watched the wedding. Ms. Peyser is, obviously, jealous of Kate, who seems like a very nice girl. Her tone throughout the whole article was to put down the royals, while assigning doom to Kate because of all that whiteness?
Nobody hates like he English.
I thought it was all beautiful though some of the hats were a little weird. No one was forced to watch it.
Andrea Peyser is nuts. Must have been drunk or stoned when she wrote this article.
Just another unattractive self-hating white lib female “Journ-O-List” using the defense mechanism of projection to cover her own racism and jealousy
This couple shacked up before the wedding.
Classy people don’t do that.
Charles was not allowed to marry the only true love he'd ever had and forced into the marriage with the psycho, immature, emotionally needy Diana.
Oh does this Peyser lady sound jealous. I’d hate to be in her circle of friends.
Andrea is a jealous loser.
Some people live to love...some live to hate. I think Andrea's got the second option pegged perfectly. Poor woman...
” Most of all, it was disturbingly white. “
LMAO at this hag. The Obama tribe is deliberately not invited and then along comes this tripe.
Andrea’s tone indicates she needs a good does of EXLAX. Either that, or she’s morphing into that hag Joy Behar.
Reminds me of what a friend said yesterday immediately after the kiss. She sent me an e-mail saying “Well, it’s all over now, except for the affairs and the divorce.”
Made me chuckle. I didn’t watch the wedding, but I do think Kate is very pretty and I would hope she and William would be able to maintain a faithful and loyal relationship, just as I hope for any newlywed couple.
The author’s focus on race in this article is ridiculous. I can’t imagine race having anything to do with the wedding, but some people just love to find fault.
It’s a very hateful piece.
I've noticed his receeding hairline and the bare spot on the back of his head. I suffer from the same thing. But its hard not to notice his mothers smile, and her good looks.
He MIGHT NOT be Brad Pitt or the"Hunk du Jour", but he is still relatively handsome and carries himself quite well.
And even if he weren't a royal, but a commoner, I think he'd still attract a fair stable of ladies. Some just a pretty as Kate.
Yes, it was beautiful. Kate’s sister was just as glamourous in that white dress she wore.
>>How long before William’s Camilla shows up in the tabloids?<<]
Given modern royals history, use a pocketwatch and not a calendar.
This is disgusting. The writer must be jealous or something.
A legitimate criticism, actually...
