This means that Kate will become Her Royal Highness, the Duchess of Cambridge, rather than being Her Royal Highness, Princess William of Wales - of course, she will be referred to as Princess Kate, by the media, just as William's mother was constantly referred to in error as Princess Diana, or Princess Di.
I am in London for the wedding, and while I am a monarchist (and being of joint British-Australian citizenship), I am allowed to be, I know a lot of people are following this even if they personally would not support such a system. The atmosphere here is electric.

I’m glad someone is keeping up with all of this because I’m certainly not.

I have studied the monarchy from William I the Norman to Elizabeth II from the House of Windsor. I have no problem with this form of government it has lasted quite a long time. It looks as though Elizabeth is setting in motion the necessary things to turn over the running of the Empire within a year or so to William. Elizabeth II has served the Empire with grace, charm, class, and political savvy.

I feel sorry for Kate. She has such a happy countenance while he seems so dour.
Hope she has some great gal pals so she can have some fun times in her life.

This is off topic, but I’m watching the wedding just to see if Mr. Bean will ruin things. :)

With all considered, the marriage is an indication that my favorite Harry may become Prince of Whales, although it is not certain and not beyond his reach to become Henry X if his brother and his family so decide to put some vigor back into the royal house.
The Crown has been for the last several decades completely irrelevant to the health of the country and its people. If they do not assert their power very soon, it will result in the complete dissolution of their position and Buckingham Palace will be nothing but a crumbling relic.

A question for you. Do these titles confer any real power on the holder?
For example, William is now the Duke of Cambridge. What does that imply? Does William now have any control over Cambridge? Does he have a veto power on who becomes the next mayor of Cambridge?
Or is “Duke of Cambridge” nothing more than an empty honorary title?

Surprised the debacle of 30 years ago didn’t dampen the fervor for this nonsense.

I have been watching this beautiful wedding. It was stunning.
My only question is why FOX sent that crude clod, Shempherd Smith over their to mock and behave like a hilljack.
