Will Miss Kate Middleton ever be as popular as the late Diana, Princess of Wales? That is a great question since how can the British monarchy exist if it isn't popular with British taxpayers who are becoming increasingly Republican?
In the beginning, people liked Kate Middleton. She is a natural beauty, well-educated, discreet and comes from a family of self-made millionaires. She is the kind of girl you expect to move up in the world so a college romance with a prince isn't entirely unthinkable. Besides, they looked so nice together. The picture of young, romantic love. The kind so hot it rarely burns past graduation.
When it did last, we all wondered what Kate would do post-graduation. As she bounced between jobs and let off steam at the local club, we all figured she was finding her way like the rest of us at that age. We even forgave her when she drank too much and flashed a little black underwear or when that God awful uncle turned up selling stories, cocaine and women less fortunate than his niece. We forgave her but we didn't forget either. It was the first chip at her mystique.
Then Kate gave up looking for a job for the routine of a kept women: Gym, tan, shop, party, travel, and follow my man around with fierce vigilance. Suddenly, the college grad was kind of a bimbo. An odd sort of bimbo since her lifestyle isn't bank-rolled by her royal lover but her upper middle-class parents. Was she receiving a commission every time Party Pieces is mentioned in an article about William and Kate's relationship? Here was a deeper chip at her mystique.
Dating since 2001, the relationship now seems tired and jaded. You never see them kiss, laugh or hold hands together. Instead, he looks sadly oblivious to how much he is hurting this girl and she looks too hard to care. If he has made her into a bimbo by refusing to be honest with her, then she has made him into a cad for not walking out on him sooner. The only way they can revive themselves from this death march is for Prince William to find a new girl he treats like a princess and for Kate to find a new man who treats her like a Queen.
Now if this new girl happens to be a doe-eyed, pink-cheeked, teenage aristocrat and Protestant virgin who loves stuffed animals, works with children, and spends her weekends in the country with mother's pearl choker and a coterie of new Sloane Rangers instead of spending her nights in night clubs showing off her knickers, then yes, it will be Lady Diana Spencer all over again. This new girl will be what the people expect of a fairy-tale princess and she will grow up and into the next icon of her time. Whether or not she will be happy, that's another story. However, expect a royal soap opera since that is what sells papers.
That is IF Kate marries William.
Hopefully if she marries William , she will become a wife that knows her place in the BRF does not step out of line, supports William, does her bit as a princess and we will hear::: she has done it better then diana...and they are happy..
