\"\"<\/a>Okay, I’m the furthest thing from a Royal Watcher (my mom has held that position in our family for quite some time<\/em>), but when I heard the announcement that Prince William and Kate Kate Middleton were officially engaged, I thought to myself, “now THAT is a televised event I’ll tune in for.”
\n 
\nI mean \u2013 even if you couldn’t care less about the Monarchy (I mean, seriously – I\u2019m Canadian and even I think it\u2019s an outdated concept\u2026 despite my heritage telling me I should swoon at its mere mention) you have to admit that there\u2019s going to be some pretty ostentatious glitz & glamour (not to mention pomp and or circumstance) on display when those I Dos are said.
\n 
\nAnd now the latest is that young Wills has popped the question using his mama\u2019s ring. You know the one: Princess Diana\u2019s 18 carat sapphire<\/a>? The one Prince Charles gave her when he proposed (oh, if only she\u2019d known\u2026) 30-plus years ago? That\u2019s a helluva ring to be just sitting in a safe somewhere \u2013 so why not trot it out on another young, rock star princess, right?
\n <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 
\nHopefully it’s not tainted by the previous owner’s unlucky marital history. And, hopefully, young Kate won’t also be sporting that early 80’s style worn by Diana when she walked down the aisle.
\n 
\nJust sayin’…
