The More Exciting of the Royal Weddings

No, it's not Harry and Pippa, I'm bored of her and think Kate's nicer anyway (she is the one that scored the prince after all). I'm talking about the wedding coming up in July, Zara Phillips and her rugby player beau, Mike Tindall.
Everyone has already started trying to compare it to the fairytale event that was Kate and Wills, but I don't really think you can. It's not at Westminster Abbey, but rather at The Canongate Kirk in Edinburgh. The groom is a sportsman, not heir to the Crown. The engagement ring, while beautiful, and preferable, in my eyes, is not quite the rock that's sported by Kate.

Never having been one to conform to Royal norms, I doubt Zara's going to start now. Being a typical girl, the dress is what I'm most looking forward to seeing. I doubt it'll be anywhere near the scale of the Duchess, and I don't think it'd suit her anyway, but I'm sure it'll be great. As much criticism as Miss Phillips gets for some of her outfits she really can do it all and without caring much what anyone thinks either.

She can dress up

Or down

Or posh

Even when she wears a hat that looks a little bit like a satellite she still manages to pull it off, in my opinion anyway.

I'd like a day off for this one too please. Or at least an invite. Roll on end of July.

Turning Heads....For all the Wrong Reasons

Kate and Wills met with President Obama and his wife Michelle yesterday after returning from their honeymoon in the Seychelles. Far from letting herself go now that she's bagged her Prince, Kate seems to be looking thinner than ever.

It may have just been the lights, the camera angles, the Seychelles tan or a very flattering dress (a Reiss dress in fact, which sold out within hours of The Duchess being seen in it) but whatever it is, I hope Kate's back to her old self soon. She used to have an enviable and amazing figure, lets hope the pressure of being in the spotlight doesn't turn her into something akin to one of those Hollywood lollipops.

The New Royal..To Be

I'm not a big follower of the royals, I loved the queen mum, and Queen Elizabeth is pretty awesome. But other than that, my interest has really only been in the occasional faux pas of Prince Philip and Harry.

I must admit though, the Royal Wedding coming up in April has got me interested, as much as I'd like to pretend it hasn't. Kate, or Catherine as people seem to want her to be known now, is pretty, intelligent, and seems to be emerging as the new style icon of the family. They're in desperate need of it, as no one has really filled the fashion void left by Diana.

Her stlye may not be anything new, and she has been criticised for this by the likes of Vivienne Westwood, but I doubt very much she'd be allowed to get away with anything more out there or fashion forward than Whistles or Burberry. Her clothes may not necessarily be to everyones taste, but I think she's going to make a beautiful and stylish Princess
