Etc. and News

The HBO version of Mildred Pierce might be good, but I will stick with the 1945 version, thank you very much.

In case you missed it, the complete Wills and Kate wedding is on YouTube, thanks to the monarchy's own channel:

In case you are in for comparisons with Charles and Diana's wedding, somebody on YouTube last year somehow had a videotape of the entire event, back in the days when VHS tapes were rare in the UK, and the quality is absolutely perfect.

Here are parts and two:





You can find parts three through eight at this link

It's hard to watch in the knowledge it was an arranged marriage that was over before the wedding started, but it's worth comparing it with yesterday's event.

As the World Turns.

The Queen is standing behind whoever the royal is involved in the "blackmail plot" mentioned in the Times last weekend.

The royal fears that he will be named in the foreign press, which is not covered by the reporting restrictions that apply to blackmail cases.

And more here.

And here.

Apparently somebody named the royal involved on Fox News. I haven't been able to find the name as of yet.

At least one person did hear the name. What a disappointment:

The minor Royal believed to be at the centre of the blackmail, cocaine, and sex video tape scandal is David Albert Charles Armstrong-Jones, Viscount Linley, nephew to the Queen and the son of the late Princess Margaret and Lord Snowdon.

He is a somebody to the royals but a nobody to everybody else.

As the World Turns.

It sounds like somebody is willing to stab the Royal Family in the back.

Wills Didn't Want

to commit to marriage anytime in the near future, and the royal family agreed he shouldn't rush down the aisle and have another marital mess like his mom and dad's marriage.

The final death blow to Wills' relationship with his university sweetheart was delivered by grandfather Prince Philip.

He declared: "You can't string her along for ever."

It kinda sounds like his dad and Camilla some 35 years ago.

Wills and Kate

decided to split.

I believe Kate was the first serious girlfriend the prince has had. They both need to get out there and date others.

The bad news is that the media will keep trying to get him married off just like they did to his dad.
