Royal

So excited for Prince William and Kate, soon to be called Catherine, or Princess Catherine. I am nervous for them, not sure why. I am sure they are used to all the attention. But still on a special day like this, they have no privacy at all with the world's eyes upon them.

My entire family has always had a fascination with the British Royal Family. Growing up, I thought of them as the only Royal Family that existed in the world. We, like everyone else were completely captivated by Princess Diana. She was an exemplary role model with her commitment to and passion for her charitable work. And she had such grace, beauty, and elegance. My sister and I even went as far as to name our ginger colored cat after her. Then we took "Princess Diana" for a check up to the veterinarian and found out she was a he. So our cat was promptly renamed, "Prince Charles."

Congratulations to the Royal couple!
