I guess they're not a household name here in the U.S. <br /><br />Or, if they are, it could be a generational thing, since I'm not well versed in current or recent boy bands beyond the Jonas Brothers.Leslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239660971103242258.post-61141685918148693532009-10-13T13:05:11.434-07:002009-10-13T13:05:11.434-07:00You wish to be enlightened as to who Jules Knight ...You wish to be enlightened as to who Jules Knight is?

Edward VIII had to abdicate if he wanted to marry Wallis Warfield Simpson (and it's a good thing he did or we might all be saying "Heil Hitler!" Well, yours truly might never have been born because her parents might have been gassed).<br /><br />So William, as far as I know, would be setting a precedent by marrying a commoner even <i>before</i> he becomes Prince of Wales.Leslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239660971103242258.post-27316133733715988572009-10-04T16:32:14.243-07:002009-10-04T16:32:14.243-07:00Haha...isn't it interesting that POW can stand...Haha...isn't it interesting that POW can stand for either Price of Wales OR Prisoner of War? Unlikely Irony there.<br /><br />I, too, wonder what QE2 must think of this. Wouldn't this be the first time in British royal history that the future King of England married a "commoner" for love? The last King who tried to do that ended up abdicating! I very much doubt that after eight years of being together that Kate Middleton is a virgin, so I wonder if all that protocol (the Princess of Wales needing to be a virgin, and of the aristocracy at that) is finally going to be done away with for future British royal unions.

After all, Nostradamus was wrong; the Y2K nuts were wrong ... but, heck, the Mayans gave us chocolate, and I certainly believe in that! :)<br /><br />I, too, wonder what QE2 thinks. I think Kate may be more "together" emotionally than Diana ever was (although you never know, when you're plunged headfirst into the royal fishbowl, whether you're capable of coping). Still, she and William have been together, living as a couple for much of the past 8 years, which is very much unlike Charles's whirlwind courtship of Diana. That only came about because his father put his foot down and told the P.O.W. that it was time he stopped shilly-shallying and found himself a nice, fertile virgin. And Charles had Camilla vetting his options to see who would might create the least trouble for their own royal affair. Boy, was Camilla wrong!Leslie Carrollhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09024567064317102889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4239660971103242258.post-91613765419040725462009-10-04T12:03:57.400-07:002009-10-04T12:03:57.400-07:00Interesting of all the years they chose is actuall...Interesting of all the years they chose is actually that apocalyptic year of the Mayan prophecy of 2012.<br /><br />If the rumor is true of course. Wonder what QE2 thinks. One cannot help but think of Diana at a time like that. If it's true of course.BurtonReview https://www.blogger.com/profile/15113347274782450564noreply@blogger.com
