I watched a TV report and it mentioned that we got 102 medals in Beijing and we've come 2nd in the medal table for the past 4 games. I was shocked that i didn't know that, it's amazing!

Now that's the kind of Diana/William/Catherine story I like to hear, it's a true and honest connection.

I felt a little emotional reading that. Imagine seeing the orchid named after your mother just before she died during the 15th anniversary of her death. So sad.

I just read in the German issue of the Luxembourgian paper WORT, at the end of the report about the funeral of Alix de Lannoy, that William and Catherine are going to attend the wedding of Guillaume of Luxembourg and Stephanie de Lannoy on Oct. 20th - has this been confirmed?
