This is a good example of a point I was going to make relating to Kate Middleton. Something I’ve been noticing is that most ‘Kate fans’ proclaim Wills and Kate’s marriage as some eternal love affair blah blah blah. That’s all well and good, albeit a tad sickening, but then go on and attack other people for criticizing or being a bit skeptical of the two. When Di first got engaged and married to Charles, all the tabloids and newspapers and just the media in general had this same headline. Di and Charles were the ultimate fairytale love affair. Which is exactly what is happening with Kate Middleton and Wills. ‘The Girl who will be Queen’, etc etc. They said the same thing for Di. And look what happened to her. So the point I am trying to make is that we simply do not know what the future holds, and when bloggers or royal watchers make statements regarding Kate such as ‘IF she ever becomes Queen Consort’, they’re not wrong and shouldn’t be slammed for it. It’s not set in stone and people can be be skeptical and critical if they so wish to be.
To be fair, no one would have ever thought it ends this way with Diana. And how does it sound when the media says all the time “Our possible future Queen”, it´s weird.
Oh no my point isn’t that the MEDIA should change their headlines, it’s that PEOPLE getting carried away with the whole Fairytale should not slam people who question or a skeptical about Wills and Kate’s marriage because the skeptics have good reason to be skeptical and hold back instead of making proclamations of eternal love etc etc.

Portrait of a Royal Wedding: Letizia’s Gown, Veil and Jewelry
In 2004, TV anchor (and commoner) Letizia Ortiz Rocasolano married Prince Felipe. Letizia chose Manuel Pertegaz for the role of designing her gown. The gown, made of white natural silk woven with silver thread, is slim in the front and flares out to a large round train in the back (the train measures nearly 15 feet long and is not detachable). Intricate silver and gold embroidery of fleur de lys, clovers, and ears of wheat are featured on the sleeves, base of the train and dress, and the sides of the high collar. The veil, a gift from Felipe, measures 3 meters long by 2 meters high. The off-white silk tulle is embroidered with the same designs as her gown. The bride also wore custom shoes by Pura López. As for jewels, the tiara anchoring the veil is the Prussian Diamond Tiara, loaned to her by Queen Sofia. Letizia’s diamond earrings were a gift from the King and Queen.
