Jessica Schmessica...We got a royal wedding to look forward to!
Prince William and Kate Middleton are engaged. He gave her his mother's engagement ring. Any speculation on a wedding date?

I'm excited. She has beautiful taste (and/or great stylists) and I can't wait to see it.

How can it have been a generation since his parents got married? (I was in San Francisco that day and remember all these ancient Chinese men in a restaurant clustered around the TV).

We're one step closer to Charles never being king. I'd say you heard it here first, but I heard it when a psychic was on Oprah YEARS ago when Di was pregnant the first time.
Oh, and in case you're wondering, she said William will be a great king.

I would just like Harry to come for a visit. To Central Illinois. I'll find something for him to do. Promise.

I thought it was odd at first that he used his mother's engagement ring, since that marriage didn't turn out all that great, but then I heard his reason and thought it was sweet.
I remember watching Charles & Di and Andrew & Fergie get married. I'm sure I'll be up at the crack of dawn to watch this one too.

I think the only way Charles will get passed over is if Elizabeth outlives him (which is not out of the question at all).
The neat thing about William being king will be that FINALLY one of Charles II's descendants will be on the throne (albeit from his illegitimate kids - Diana has ties to two of them).

I admit I'm not an expert on the British Monarchy, but how is this getting closer to Charles not being King?

Because theoretically William now has a "suitable" spouse and QEII would feel comfortable excluding him (the technical term) because of his divorce.
Not gonna happen.

I'm confused. Oprah's show didn't start until 1986; Prince William was born in 1982. Was it another show during Diana's first pregnancy, or was it on Oprah later on?

Tabloids aside, I think Charles may be closer to being Queen than King. I can remember thinking he wasn't straight before the word gaydar was on the radar.
I, too, had some questions about Prince William using his mother's ring until I heard the explanation. But I've also heard that the Windsors are notariously thrifty, so it doesn't surprise me. I'm more surprised that Kate accepted it, instead of having it reset.
And just like the other weddings, I'm sure to be watching it on television, should it be broadcast, complete with tiara and champagne. The British monarchy may be expensive to the everyday Englishman, but they generate more revenue than most other outlays!

I know absolutely nothing about British royal lineage. Could you explain?

I just wikied for the Hell of it, and it seems that while Camilla would legally be queen if Charles ascends, it's commonly known that she will be styled as Princess Consort.

Had a long post, but it didn't post right. Oh well. Nevermind.
