Since this up coming week is going to focus on the royal wedding, I thought that it might be fun to have a thread about all things royal in general. :-)

Prince Charles the longest waiting prince apparent.

Another good idea from the "Forum Queen"

Talking about Queens -

Queen Elizabeth II is celebrating her 85th birthday today. She was born in London on the 21 April 1926.

The Royal wedding was as expected a spectacular event!  For those POE members residing abroad that may have missed it, here is a brief film clip of the ceremony -

You must of come across the zingy version of it..I saw it yesterday in another web site...in some ways totally rediculous...but I was reading this morning that it will be aired on the internet I guess..but it's going to be four hours long. I'd rather see the main highlights of it. Earlier this week they had an lady that collected plattes and dishes of commorative events of the Royal family...she had started with Queen Elizabeths' wedding...that was kind of interesting. Today is my grand-daughter's birthday...and tomarrow is my kid's wedding anniversary..and Good Friday...busy next couple of days. Sister in-law coming in next Friday and picking up her sister in-law "Edna" for an few days...takign her back home with her..before she moves back to California...and then returns with her for an week here and then her son comes an takes her down south. Her sister (Estelle) is going to go camping the week she stays with her sister in-law...I guess. Edna has lost the use of her hand due to an nerve problem...it leaves her at times somewhat helpless to help herself...I think she had an stroke in the past or some such ailment simliar. They are in thier 80's now.

I loved the You Tube video of the "wedding". I remember watching Princess Diana's wedding from start to finish. I will probably watch this one as well. Is anyone surprised that the Obama's weren't invited?
