In other countries it is customary for the bridesmaids to wear white as well. We have to remember that each country has their own history which means their own set of 'rules' and ways of doing things. In some countries white means death so they make sure the color is not a part of the wedding at all.

I thought both girls looks amazing. I bet Pippa had to spend the reception beating off the aristocrats with a stick.
The fellows didn't look too shabby either.
Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, even the glimpse of one of the escort horses without his rider.
Thought it was significant that Wills gave Kate not one but two kisses.
Go William.
As for Camilla, she must have talents of which we are unaware.

Loved THE DRESS, loved Pippa's dress, loved William's sweetness and Harry's orneriness, loved the carriages and horses, loved the cars (especially the bio-fueled Aston Martin -- that's a car that even a da#@ed liberal greenie can love!)...I even loved all the "fascinator" hats (my sister and I made our own out of found objects)...
...but I'm STILL drooling over David Beckham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Am curious--what do some of you dislike about Camilla? What has she said or done to make you dislike her so much? Or is it just her appearance? If so, how very shallow, to judge someone on appearance! I suspect she has a maturity that Charles & others can appreciate--a maturity that Diana always lacked. Sorry, I have disliked Diana since the incident at the track where she and Fergie were poking others with their hatpins and thought they were just the funniest. Nothing too princess-like in that behavior!

While I felt sorry for Diana, I don't feel Camilla was to blame. In the long run, Camilla and Charles' love has lasted through many years of adversity, including their own mistakes...a true, though homely, fairytale.
As for the queen...I can only hope I look that good and am that active at 85! (and Prince Philip is soldiering on at 90)
Does anyone know if she still rides?

Just an old-fashioned kinda gal I am...because I cannot for one second feel any like or respect for that woman.
Sorry, but my "dislike" is tainted by the fact that she (albeit reportedly) carried on an affair throughout Charles' and Diana's marriage, very likely being a huge source of pain for a young and (yes) at times very immature woman who was thrust into the spotlight and expected to act like a matron when she was so obviously not. I cannot see that you'd allow that one silly incident turn one against all the good that she (Diana) managed to accomplish in such a short life, yet feel any kind of appreciation for the "maturity" of that adulterous old hag.

I'm with you Sue. Diana was a wonderful woman, a great mother and a real humanitarian. I will never respect a woman or man that carries on an affair with a married person.

How about a married person who carries on an affair with someone else?? After all, Diana wasn't so "good" in that respect--she was still married to Charles when she was having an affair (publicly acknowledged after a time) with the riding instructor fellow, whatever his name was.I'm with you Sue. Diana was a wonderful woman, a great mother and a real humanitarian. I will never respect a woman or man that carries on an affair with a married person.
In truth that incident at the races was just one thing out of many that made me unimpressed with Diana. There were plenty more actions that made her unlikable for me. IMO she was a twit. Charles—I had no use for him long before he met Diana—that stems from something that he did when he was here on a Royal visit years ago, something that I have absolutely no use for-—and as for Charles’ affair with Camilla while he was still married to Diana, that is kind of counterbalanced by her own similar behavior. She blamed Charles for the breakup of the marriage; Charles blamed Diana for the break up...I have little use for either side and when it comes down to it, for me Camilla is probably the least irritating of the whole lot!

Actually, not knowing any of them personally makes this all kind of moot when you think about it...only ones I ever "met" was the Queen and Prince Phillip, and even then, only while being reviewed on parade. I was shocked by how small/short the Queen really is. LOL! I just hope that this new generation gets back on track and brings both morality and better judgement.

My bad, I forgot about James Hewitt and yes that is wrong. It is totally wrong but I am going to cut her some slack because she had no idea that there was going to be three people in her marriage and let's face it three's a crowd.

It's all a matter of whose publicity we choose to believe -- there is no way we know what actually went on...we can only go by what we are fed.
Diana, sweet and innocent, sold newspapers...Camilla, wicked witch, sold newspapers...so that's what they printed. A happily married royal is boring...notice how they no longer write about Princess Anne or Prince Edward and Sophie? Snore...

Don't know why but I was never a Diana fan (jealousy probably) but if there hadn't been a Diana there would not be a William.
He seems to be a terrific fellow.
If Charles hadn't been so weak he would have married Camilla in the first place...........still no Wills.
The Royal Soap Opera continues.
What did you think of Fergie's girls? Interesting choice of headgear, don't you think?
