I'm cured!!!!
For MANY years, I was a major consumer of royal gossip and trivia. I was a "fan" of the British Royal Family, and especially of HRH, Diana the Princess of Wales. See? I still know how to address her properly, and I used to think it was important!:P

I subscribed (paid good money for) two glossy magazines from Britain that detailed the Royals. They were "fan" magazines with no redeeming value. I seriously considered buying one of HRH's old gowns in an auction before she died, although I couldn't afford it.

When the media turned on Diana before her death, I became disillusioned. I gradually stopped listening to anything about them.

Now I am so cured that I didn't even know that Charles was getting married today! Was it today?

When I saw Camillas's hat, the only feeling I had was "God, these people have no clue." I am truly cured!:toast:

1. "Old Boring Gits to Wed"
I hear that was a UK Tabloid headline... guess they're pretty much cured there, too.

2. The British sense of humor!
I'm not cured of liking that! Thanks for making me laugh out loud.

4. All I can think is 'Camilla...Goddess of Wheat'
Move over Demeter...now there is someone more matronly!

I know the colonies have no appreciation for hats...but, please!
