(And a new Rolls and Tiara for the Queen!)

Tired of the "Royal" Family. The only one worth anything was Diana, and she stood out because she actually *cared* about others.

Diana didn't seem to be spoiled by the "royalty" label--hopefully Kate won't either but I think it's too soon to know.

There are a lot of people suffering over there--living on the streets, scrounging for food. Just like here in America, I think it says a lot about the powers that be that they live in the lap of luxury while ignoring the rampant issue of poverty in their own country. They don't want to cut back, but expect everyone else to.

Queenie should give up some of her comforts to make things better for the people.
