Blimey! The second in line for the throne of England is about to be married. If only someone would stop placing bets long enough to bequeath them a rock to live under! If the hoopla over Charles and Diana’s courtship is any indicator, then the William and Kate are in for a touch of media scrutiny. Maybe TomKat should make like Oprah and start a finishing school for ‘razzi-challenged twosomes.
