Crowning glory

April 25th, 2011

All eyes are on the royal wedding coming up on Friday. Apparently, people in the U.K. and some of the British Colonies are even placing bets on the color of the Queen’s hat, what they’ll eat at the reception, etc. As I’d never been a fan of Prince William to begin with (my interest in British royalty lies mainly with the Tudors and Queen Victoria), I’m not particularly interested in the ceremony or the events leading up to it. Plus, Prince William no longer looks like the fairy tale prince they joked about marrying off to Mia Thermopolis in Princess Diaries 2.

She totally wants him

Remember that when Prince William started getting heavy exposure after the death of Princess Diana, this is what he looked like:

He was clearly the spitting image of his mom, who I think is still is prettier than Kate Middleton (who is allegedly going to be the third best-looking royal), who looks okay but is starting to show signs of aging as well.

But at 28, Britain’s second-in-line to the throne looks much older than he should, no thanks to the premature balding. With all his money, you’d think he could afford a nice toupee or the services of Svenson.

The 1981 wedding. Probably the last relevant royal wedding event that actually captivated the world. Plus, Prince Charles had a full head of hair.

Since Prince William will no longer be on the market, fangirls are starting to shift their attention to Prince Harry, who had spent years in the shadow of his older brother.

If the considerably more rebellious Harry wants to get into another field if the royalty thing doesn’t work out, he could take up acting and join the Harry Potter cast as one of the ginger-haired Weasleys.

"Join the dark side." Oh wait, that's Voldemort.

"What? He's British, he'll clearly fit in with the cast."

    “Join the dark side” reminds me more of Darth Vader, but I digress.

    I had to Google Kate to remind myself how pretty she was, sans stress written on here face.

    You’re right, “Join the dark side” is a Darth Vader thing. I forgot which variation Voldemort used on Harry and friends. Kate’s pretty, but gosh, the stress seems to be getting to her nowadays! She looks so tense for a bride.
