It's difficult for them; it must be. They are photogenic, hyper-priviledged, wealthy, powerful, secure and much admired. Must be a living hell, poor sods.

I don't want to hear what a trial it all is, like we had to hear with Diana. I liked Diana, don't get me wrong, but come on.

We've had a lovely time.
I'm a little tiddly because I sneakily had more drink than the others (I am not proud of this)
We had a lovely buffet, and I let my Mum take all the credit.
Every single time.
It was complimented about five times.
I'm not bitter, I just expected better from her.

Anyway - loved the dress, loved the extremely simple floral theme (although why didn't she lay her bouquet on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier?) and they do seem to be really in love.

Also, loved her sister's butt! If anyone is going to follow you up the aisle on something that will be broadcast to millions of people, make sure they are as svelte as Pippa Middleton!

If there is one thing this country does well, it is ceremony.

I just want to know when it became fashionable to wear a HUBCAP on the side of your head? Some of those hats looked rediculous.
And Fergie's daughters looked so uncomfortable and out of place.

And just as a side note, I would bang Kate's brother like a chinese gong!

Sheldon, I'm surprised at you.

Everyone knows that the more outlandish the hat, the more class you have! QED.

did you get a load of Mrs. Beckham's head gear? tooooooooo good.

Mrs. Beckham's face was frozen in time. God forbid a crease should spoil her make-up. She was deliberately trying not to smile...at a WEDDING for Christ Sake!

I reckon. I don't think I have ever seen Victoria Beckham smile. If her husband can smile, why can't she?

Didn't like Victoria's hat. Loved her dress tho - tres chic. La Beckham knows how to dress.

Shame her hubby wore his OBE on the wrong side though... MAJOR faux pas.
Still, he's handsome enough to excuse.

I'm never sure about hats.
Philip Treacy is a world renowned hat maker.
I look at most of them and think, "It's a joke, right? Some meme I just don't get?"
But then I have no class.

Re James Middleton. Mum said he looked like a gyppo (extremely perjorative term for a traveller). No wonder I have no class.

Because Victoria is an automaton

Being married to him wouldn't make me smile either.

Poor rich little couple.

Does anyone know when this wedding is actually due to happen?

Honestly, you'd think they would put something on TV...
