I watched a BBCA special on Queen Elizabeth’s reign this morning, and I’ll probably catch some of the wedding anniversary specials this weekend. For me, it’s a pleasure and a relief to watch the Royal Family for these reasons alone: tradition and good taste. It’s a pathetic comment on modern society that women who dress like ladies are becoming more and more rare. Warm weather nowadays means everyone dresses like a slob. I’ve actually seen girls wearing terry cloth beach coverups in public. The other day I stood in line behind an obese girl who was wearing shorts and a tank, rolls hanging out all over, tattoos on her legs and up the side of her neck, and flip-flops (how I DESPISE those things). So the Duchess of Cambridge is a pleasant change from that.
I agree.
I agree, too. Some of the flakier young royals need an honest critic before they walk out the door, but Queen Elizabeth and many others are outstanding examples of public dignity and good taste.
I’m quite fond of Prince Harry, in a “good way for a son to turn out” way.
