I knew there must be something she d...Good for her. I knew there must be something she did know. For instance, she didn't know that Faberge eggs were no longer being made (and she is a History of Art graduate!) She never seems to know she is supposed to read a line or two about a charity cause so she woudn't stutter when forced to say a few words in an interview (the UNICEF fiasco). There are many things she doesn't know and most of them are things even I know. It's simple - it's called manners. I'm waiting to see how the Duchess will handle the protocol since she obviously has a problem with basic manners.<br /><br />Now, seriously, I don't think it's such a big deal. It's just a matter of protocol. Royal protocol. We were so intrigued by Kate's wedding because she married HRH The Prince William, Duke of Cambridge, right? Had she married the plain Willy Windsor, nobody would have cared what she wore and how many pearls she had on her wedding gown. So she should obey the royal rules. It's part of the deal - you want a princess, okay. But she should live by the current standards for British princesses, including curtseying to the blood royals who might not look as impressive as her (bad fashion sense, if you ask me, because Beartice and Eugenie are both very pretty when not trying to lose themselves in awful dresses and makeup) but once they open their mouths, they sound much more mature and well, knowing why they are here. So far, the Duchess has been nothing to speak for. Except for looking glamorous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178779736451277146.post-49523785392972835672012-06-26T08:38:05.446+12:002012-06-26T08:38:05.446+12:00Particularly for the Royals, in this day and age. ...Particularly for the Royals, in this day and age. I was amused by another item in the Telegraph, reporting that Kate, Prince Willie, and Camilla all attended the launch of a new factory or something, a role that included trying out a new production iron. Kate was the only Royal who knew how to use an iron.World of the Written Wordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10695926585496640941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-178779736451277146.post-16316173444534218182012-06-25T22:09:56.943+12:002012-06-25T22:09:56.943+12:00As if life wasn't complicated already.As if life wasn't complicated already.Mark Hubbardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02541153163041831880noreply@blogger.com
