    Princess Di, the royal family, British TV, & other off-topic posts

    I'm sitting in the waiting room of a hospital right now, and CBS is airing a special about Princess Diana. You know, because that's the most important thing going on in the UK at the moment.... Sheesus.

    I'm only 33... Please tell me why she is such a big deal in the US.
    Think for yourself. Question authority.

    She was a real-life fairy tale princess, and we got to watch her fairy tale wedding live on TV. I'll never forget that dress and train.

    And here I thought it was the doughnut licking incident. FWIW, when I hear "fairy tale wedding" I think Charles and Diana or William and Kate. Ariana Grande, not so much.

    A bit of digression for which I apologise. Charles is, and always has been, an urban spaceman.......head in the clouds. Thanks to the short lived mothers influence, both William and Harry have turned out OK, feet solidly on the ground. Kate continues to keep William honest, at university she even told him that he needed to get things out of his system and if he still wanted to continue the relationship to come back when he had made decisions/got things out of his system. Harry? The troops love Harry, he is truly one of the lads, albeit it with a title and some money - that said though when I was a Lance Corporal one of my best mates was an infantry Private who also had a title, how the title is used depends on the person holding it. But, yup, William and Harry make a good team and do some stupendous work.

    Both young men seem like decent sorts.....but Harry, definitely the only guy in the Royal Family I'd "ride the river" with.
