I guess you could read it that way if you wanted to, but to me, that article seemed much more about William and the possible elitist move of moving off the base because the rooms weren't good enough. Kate really seemed like an afterthought in the piece, IMO.I agree with some of the things you say here.
Good grief! Do people cry at weddings instead?
I believe the mother of the bride quite often cries....
there goes the stiff upper lip!

You are right one could read it that way and judging by some others people's comments on the story they read it like that also.
I am a little surprised he is keeping his room on base. Mine moved into a hiring as soon as was humanly possible. As much as anything, if it is true, it was probably to accommodate his PPO's and give him a little more privacy.I guess you could read it that way if you wanted to, but to me, that article seemed much more about William and the possible elitist move of moving off the base because the rooms weren't good enough.

Elitist, possibly, but in this instance I don't blame him!
Ella Kay when you say Summer 2010 is that the engagement or wedding?
Britain has confirmed a recession.England has just entered into a recession,
Edward's wedding was a small affair because he not directly in line to the throne,while William is second in line and will someday be king.So a big production is in order.A big splashy wedding is what royals do best.
I don't think he will have a great deal of say in the matter! They could of course just pop up to Gretna!---- snipped --- He might balk at the idea of the humongous St. Paul's and all wedding.
Lots of things have changed for the royals since the days of big splashy weddings, though. Three divorces of senior royals, more intrusive media, more openness about their finances, etc. As the world of royalty changes (and scales back, to some extent, as people are less and less willing to pay for things like security for minor royals), the days of the Charles-and-Di-style wedding may just be over. Especially now that the world's economies are in crisis.
Plus, I don't know, William seems less grand over all than his father. He might balk at the idea of the humongous St. Paul's and all wedding.
Much like Princess Elizabeth's in fact!I don't think the economic environment will necessarily delay a wedding, but may make it relatively (in the context!) a smaller affair - the celebrations may be restricted to the day itself, and perhaps the wedding only takes place at the Abbey -thereby restricting the route of the ceremonial procession, and hence the security costs.
