I want it to be Catherine and Williams day and not have Diana mentioned every 2 minutes.
Every woman deserves her own wedding day to be special and I hope they cut out the references to Diana. NO-ONE will forget Diana, we dont need her name pushed down our throats every 2 minutes on their Wedding Day.
Its bad enough that Catherine didn’t get her own engagement ring, but Diana’s ring. A woman deserves her own ring and her own wedding day.
Diana will be there on the day in everyone’s thoughts, We just dont need to hear her name every 2 minutes.
Everyone I spoke to said they dont mind, but I dont think they are being true to themselves. I dont think THEY would like their own wedding day to be “highjacked” by the grooms mother’s memory all the time

I laughed when I read Rebecca’s comment that she thinks Judy Wade has “intimate knowledge” of the royal family. What intimate knowledge? Like when she writes, “I also expected Camilla’s three year old grandchild Eliza Lopes would be chosen….”?
Now if she had made that statement BEFORE it was announced, then Wade would have shown her worth as an insider, and indicate that she truly has some kind of “intimate knowledge”. Anyone can make that kind of statement afterwards, and pretend that they knew all along. Nothing but self-promoting hot air.

Judy I have so enjoyed reading your blogs. Its great to have somebody on the case that knows the intimate workings of the royal family. I am just glad you are not in charge of the photos – I remember years ago when you stepped up to take photos of me and my friends with The Duchess of York, the photos were all a little off centre, but we loved that you took them because they are a lovely reminder of a great day. Those were the days – there was a group of us Diana fans and the paid professionals like yourself that were at every engagement, it was fun for all of us including the Royals and some of those more intimate engagements are fond memories for me. At least when I read your blogs I feel that I am reading the words of somebody I can trust – there are too many “reporters” out there that are ill informed or just make stuff up. I can’t wait to read your reports about William and Kates big day.

Why are royal wedding parties traditionally made up of children? When did that start?

What a wonderful group of attendants, and Pippa will make a fine Matron of honour. I hope there will be a little bit of antics from the younger ones. Best of Luck William and Catherine !

It was most natural for the couple to name their siblings in these roles. Who else would even be more appropriate?
But I’m sure Kate is smart enough to just let things come naturally for Pippa, besides she’s also close to Chelsy and Harry (together and separate)…

It is not fair to make such a statement on Kate. Just because she is marrying Prince William does not necessarily means that she wishes to match make her sister to her future brother-in-law. And I am sure Pippa does not lack boy friends of her own.

Diana did not ‘plot’to get Sarah into the Royal Family. Sarah was already part of the polo scene. Her father was Prince Charles polo manager.
Are you saying that you were at the wedding?
I don’t believe you

I doubt Prince Harry is (or ever will be) romantically interested in Kate’s sister. Exactly, what is Pippa’s profession? I have always thought that Prince Harry and Chelsy seemed to make a good match.

Judy,your not doing yourself any favors by making tasteless comments like the ones about Kate trying to set up Pippa and Harry. Like your so called “tongue in cheek” remarks about Americans last week, I doubt these somewhat tasteless ones will go over any better! Please stick to the facts, you will be much better off!
