Engaged

William pledged as a member of the Order of Garter

I was in high school when the tragic demise of Princess Diana of Britain dominated the media. That was when I first had a glimpse of her young sons, William and Harry. I thought how brave these boys are. They are in anguish but royal protocols prevent them from showing it to the public. I admired how they tried to get through that traumatic phase in their lives, the high-profile death of their mother in their early years just when they really need her love and guidance.



With Beckham, not Harry I just like this picture: British and Football royalty, laughing together, priceless

More than their undeniable good looks, William and Harry endeared the public on how they picked up their lives without their mum. They continued to live as ordinary as their stature being the second and third in line in the British throne will allow them. Their pictures and whereabouts littered the Internet and tabloids. I think that their privacy had still been respected. William had been not a target of the media when he was in college in St. Andrew’s as negotiated by his PR. But sometimes the paparazzi are still intruding, especially with their pictures out with friends clubbing and the expose on Harry’s deployment in Afghanistan.

A wide percentage of the female population was sad and heart broken, when it was announced that William and his long-time girlfriend, Kate Middleton was finally engaged. It was a selfish impulse to feel that way, since he really deserve to also be happy with the girl that he loves. It was also crazy to feel like crying, because you only see him on TV and magazines, he even haven’t been in my tropical country. But I will indulge in being melodramatic and sentimental since William is like the ultimate crush of my late 20’s generation. I really hope that he can still be unmarried until his forties just like the Prince of Monaco, but he was already set to tie the knot next year, 2011.



All together now: with British accent "Hahahahaha"

When I told this to my dad and demanded to kidnap Kate for me, he said “Buti nga ‘yon magpakasal na siya kasi nakakalbo na siya.” And when my mom saw my depression she remarked: “Naku paano kapag talagang boyfriend mo na ang magpapakasal sa iba, baka magpakamatay ka na…” And my sister was like, “Naku para kang si $@* kapag nagka-crush.” My family was really so funny, I laughed, they really know how to cheer me up.

The saga of the sons of Princess Diana, continues. Now that I, together with the other ladies who stalked, er, cared for William, are now recovering from the initial shock from this breaking news. I also want to see William waiting for his bride in the Cathedral, beaming as a proud father holding his child(ren) and being coroneted as the new King of the British Monarchy.

Now, Prince Harry, you are not to be engaged until ten years from now ;)
