So, would you? There are so many talks about the wedding and it looks as if the entire internet is full of it. The idea of somebody becoming a member of the British royal family sounds great, but what does that take to be one. I was reading about the things that Kate Middleton will no longer be able to do after becoming Prince William’s wife. The list is pretty big. For her it would be a completely different life than she used to have.
Well, I think these are too light words. When anybody gets married his/her life changes. This becomes even stronger when you get children. Now, becoming a princess of Wales is a completely different story. You will have to forget who you are and accept an entirely different identity. This starts from how you are going to be referred to and ends with when you have to finish your dinner. No democracy for Kate anymore. If you are hungry, hurry up, for when the Queen finishes eating, everybody finishes.
No more voting, no possibility to work (for most people this one would be pretty cool) don’t know for how long though)). Everything she says from this time on can have nothing which could cause some controversy. Get ready to be discussed by media from all possible aspects. In my opinion, no personality left. What do you get in exchange? Respect, absolute provision, iconic state, public attention and … becoming the Queen one day.
I hope you can see how Rose (Kate Winslet in the movie ‘Titanic’) felt being part of the higher society and what happiness really meant for her. You can also sympathize with Anna Scott (Julia Roberts in the movie ‘Notting Hill’) for not being able just to be a simple girl and to be loved and not be pursued by the media. It looked to me that princess Diana was pretty tired of her responsibilities and was thirsty for personal happiness too.
Well, it is none of my business anyway. I hope the couple will be able to create a world of their own and find happiness there. It will not be easy for Kate I think as she is from a completely different world. However, it is her choice. God bless them. So, would you be willing to be part of the royal family?
