I think that to be honest that people like our queen as for many years she was young and very very attractive.
In fact I would sugest that many UK films had her as the 'image' as the star untill around the 60's. A lot of british films top actresses sort of refelected the queen, while in holiwood the image was a larger more round, big haird lady.
I can see why she had the apeal she did have.
The problem is, that 'modern' image she had sort of went and it was replaced with some sort of silly pompus rubish.
Around the 60's you no longer see films refelct her. But tv still doess. In the tv world there is stiff the pompus rubbish, but that too is attact.
The Beatels sort of (I would argue more replublicans).
Then in the 70's punk just shuned the queen. AAs I posted we had the sex pistals who sang god save the queen.
We also know that the queen during this time ran short of cash, and the goverment bailed them out (relucantly).
The 80's they re-invented themselves.
Both with Diane and Fergy you had two princesses. You had two fairytale dreams you could sell to the public.
But with both weddings ending, and fegy got riped off with the divorce getting only £70k or somthing while Diane got over £10 million.
Now we have the new wedding.
I suspect if I took a pic of this new girl out onto the street a lot of people will not know who she is. That is my point. Its not an interesting wedding. Its a two people who have been on and off for ten years. I suspect the wedding will not last.
This is simply a celeb wedding rather than anything else.
The problem is I suspect the goverment are hoping this is a new diane. And hope the public will all be excited. There is talk of making it a bank holiday.
They are hinting also that the press do not give her a hard time.
What I suspect is, somone will break ranks and be nagative, or better still somone will have at least one story on her, mabe some nude pics. Do not forget she is almost 30. Chances are she has a past.
Now if the public back the negative response you have huge problems.
This whole thing could backfire.
I would sugest that fegies two doughters would in the press be more popular and people more interested in them getting wed.
But we also live in a new era.
In america you have a sort of new royal family. Thats the clintons. Popular in many countries. Just look who they wanted when they arrested those 3 (or was it 2) women. It was bill clinton. And the media loved the doughters wedding.
You also have also the current president. His wife looks like a princess, tall, slim, confident, gracfull, with two princesses.
The problem in the uk is all that vceromony now looks rather silly. with all the guards and night hoods (that now mean nothing at all).
These days if you give the goverment a few pounds you are made a 'sir'. Or if your on tv more than a week, you get an 'obe'. It means rather nothing now.
I had any questions (radio 4) on today. they were luke warm over it (the wedding). In fact they said that they are already fed up of hearing about it.
And this is my point. At the end of the day, I suspect the public do not realy care.
Some old ladies might. Some people who make some old tat to sell as promo might. But will the public care.
And will they even remember her.
You must also remeber that when charlse married chammila, no one cared. Yet the media for years thought people would be shocked. But they did not. I do not think people even noticed. In fact I often forget they are wed.
