1. Well, you'd be guaranteed a good wedding video...

2. I'm sufficiently older than she is (62)
that I wouldn't really want to suddenly be starting out again. But I wouldn't mind have her youthful good looks, and it would be wonderful to be as loved as she seems to be.

7. IF that includes being in love with Wills, sure.
I would very much like to be young and in love with no money worries. And really good health care.

8. NO, I think it would be an awful way to live. Always under scrutiny,
every single thing you do, every facial expression you make, every tear you shed, EVERYTHING grist for the media. Having to go to continious events where you sit bored and uncomfortable but have to look like you're enjoying and interested in all of it. Also that family would eat you up and spit you out. I don't think any amount of jewels, castles or money could make up for the awfulness of it.

I wouldn't mind being a wedding guest though. :-)

10. I've done anonymous. It's eh.
Of course, if I'm transferred into her body (does she have good toes? I really want good toes) with my current political opinions intact....it could be really traumatic for Wills when I'm assassinated.

And it's possible he would notice the difference.

9. I'm thinking that my "elopement" w/ only my husband and myself there
no crazy family and "perfection" to cloud our heads.. was the best decision I ever made... Just dealing with my sister's small family wedding and the crazy shit as her bridesmaid made me happy that I eloped.. the pressure to guarantee "magic" for the world would honestly drive me mad.

11. I assume this poll question is directed at women.
The results otherwise might be interesting.

12. I am someone who values my privacy.
And Kate, being a member of the royal family, will never get that. Sure, she'll never have money worries, but at what cost? The paparazzi will be on her trail constantly.. not a way I would want to live.

16. i think she will get more respect than Diana, also think the media probably finds
william and kate kind of boring . they know they wont find much by sneaking around and get surprise pics.

15. It would be worth it, just to see the look on the Prince's face
when his beautiful young bride suddenly morphs into a dumpy old American cat lady.
