My favorite piece of Kate memorabilia so far! Kate's little VW Golf is going to be auctioned soon on Ebay by the man who bought the car from the Middletons. Kate drove this car when she was at University and most famously received that ticket which was much reported at the time. The car comes with the owners log--of course-- listing Catherine Middleton. Cars are so individually personal that this is the best Kate memento I have seen so far. Just to add to the fun, there was a pair of cuff links left in the car when sold...who knows, but the legends can just keep growing on those!
The Daily Mail is also reporting a (cough) story claiming that Prince Charles is having trouble dealing with the superstar status of the newest royal couple. The biggest problem with the Daily Mail's angle, as is not uncommon, is that they overstep immediately, add embellishments for drama, and pretty soon everyone is so focused on the clearly unlikely aspects of the story that no one is looking at what might actually be true.
I doubt that the Daily Mail knows if Charles is "increasingly edgy" or not, but there are some very valid points. Most basically, the nub of this story is that Charles is overshadowed by the incredible service of his mother, and the overwhelming popularity of his son and daughter-in-law. All you need to do is ask yourself a few questions to find the right answer. Is he happy that his mother is an excellent and respected monarch? He must be. Is he thrilled that his son has found a wonderful woman to be his wife and partner and that the world is wild about them? How could he not be! Is it hard to be the man who is often unpopular and frequently overlooked? I think the answer can only be yes.
See both stories at the DailyMail.
Charles: I Deserved to Be Loved. I know, I know...what a headline.
Kate Middleton's Car. Fun to say that again, Kate Middleton.
