I hope she enjoys every minute of it!  Perhaps you'd better record it just in case or no doubt there'll be a DVD out within a matter of days anyway!

Going through the names I find it a huge mess,an incorrect piece of paper with wrong titulature and even the wrong
names for the countries of some of the Royals that will supposedly be in attendance.For an institution as the
British Monarchy is said to be,I find that way below any standard.The person responsible for making up this list has no
idea/clue whatshowever on titels,how to should be used,or not,and has no idea who's who in Royal Europe.
This list can't be put up if they do take themselves seriously and has to be revised to the proper ranks and titels.

Besides that,rags like the DailyMail say the King of Cambodia snubs the British Royals be saying he has something
better to do then attending this.Snubs.Really?Cambodia is on the brink of war with Thailand over some ancient
Hindu temples for crying out loud,again faith that messes up lives....But anyway,reason for the ballerina from
Cambodia to stay put at home and again prove that british press,or what junk calls itself that except for the BBC,
is not hampered by reporting real news.

The list regarding the Bijiou clubbers is correct tho,and maybe it was one of these emptyheaded creatures
that made up the list while at that club,who knows,it looks like it....And the list of ex-'s from both sides is
correct or the who "practiced" with whom and for how long bit...all that is in place...Important,isn't it......

News,or apparent news regarding the Royal wedding is a mess as you can't even trust the official website.
The hype that it will be the "Wedding of the Century" is absolute bullocks too ofcourse.It is a Royal wedding,
yes,so a couple more people look over the shoulders of William and Catherine,about 2.5 billion of us will watch along.

But to call this what they say it will be,The Wedding of the Century,no,no way,first they have to top the Swedish
wedding of last year in that respect or any other Royal Wedding in any other of the European Monarchies over the
past 10 years.Second a hype is a bubble and nothing more and it totally goes besides the reason for celebration.
The love between William and Catherine and the,I think,great match they are.Ofcourse there's great joy all over,
but one doesn't need a rediculous hype to emphasize that.Apart from the above,all is well,and I wish all a Happy Easter.

I met Mrs Legge-Bourke last year in her Lord Lieutenant of Powys role. She is lovely - very down to earth and chatting away happily to the Army Cadets I was with.

Tiggy Legge-Bourke wasn't really a nanny to William and Harry - they were a bit old for that by then. She was more an elder sister figure.
