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

Camilla only married another man when she knew that waiting around for Charles was a lost cause; however, neither ever fell out of love with the other. It was Charles’ father who did everything humanly possible ( like having Charles sent away on extended,supposedly “needed” trips and then forbidding that marriage )to kibosh that relationship and then forced his aging son to marry the execrable Diana.
Methinks Andrea is jealous.
But she grew up in Queens, which makes her an expert on Royal Weddings
Well, he got the bald head from his mother also - as you should know.
I’ll bet that she and Maureen Dowd are FB buddies.
Helen Thomas in waiting
Or the Kate Middleton sex tape hits the internet.
That one in the black with the HIGH HIGH heels is a model and her husband is Beckman or something. Never heard of either of them. But she’s quite a ways into a pregnancy. Sorry, but one trip in those things and it could be very bad. Just proves Hollyweird airheads are more concerned with their looks than in the safety of their children.
She blows hot and cold, re how and what she writes. This column was in far worst taste than anything that can be said about the beautiful wedding; including some of the patently ridiculous hats. And whilst we are talking about hats, many of them, worn by the older women, were beautiful beyond words.
I think it's payback for not inviting the Boob Belt Queen.
1. As if the native caucasion population of an island nation needs to justify the preponderance of its indigineous people still populating its territory (white people are people too, witch).
2. As if the Windsors were not damned by the do-gooders for including some dark-skinned foreign leaders on the invite list (damned if you do, damned if you don’t, witch).
3. As if Peyser has ever volunteered to have her own behavior scrutinized by the public before spouting off as an expert (people in glass housed, witch).
The royal wedding was a beautiful production
beautifully orchestrated.
Nobody was forced to watch it.
I had no idea that was Posh Spice (Victoria Beckham)
Both she and husband (soccer star) are Brits... hardly Hollywood.
What was the big deal? The crown sounded like it was superbowl sunday or something! These people are not anymore special than anyone else really. So they were born into royalty, big deal. And it looked like that prince was looking a bit too longingly at his bride with everyone watching.
Charles has never been a happy man until he did marry Camilla. We know this and it is obvious in his photos with her that he adores her. But Charles doesn’t exactly have his marbles all in a row either....some of the things he says are way off the cuff.
I don’t believe I can tout their relationship as a “romance” all those years, better an “adulteress relationship” for that is what it was....they both tore out the hearts of the people they did marry in order to keep their relationship on the front burner.
Thank goodness common sense ruled the day when it came to not inviting the American 0ne, etal. Saved the American taxpayers a lot of money and kept the Royal Wedding from being turned into the 0bamas go to the royal wedding. Ugh~! That would have ruined coverage of the entire thing. Though it might have been fun to see Mrs. 0 wearing a hideously funky hat...
Hats, especially those that are bespoke, have small combs sewn into each side.
ROFL!!!
At the very least it was history in the making - our presidents come and go, thank God!!, but the royals are history. Hey Andrea, why don't you write something real, you know, like how the media are the "feminine hygiene products" (to use your disgusting reference) for Obama.
