Poor Kate

Watching the news today it was interesting to see the media frenzy that has already started in London. As you would expect hundreds of photographers and journalists have already set up camp to get their scoop on the wedding of the year. One Colombian reporter irritated me by calling Kate Middleton a 'commoner'.....yes....with no apologetic tone he called her a 'commoner'. Poor Kate. I'm sorry but in no way can our future queen be described with this dated, vile term. The media has really latched onto the fact that Kate's parents are not aristocratic. The Middleton’s made their money from running a successful party supplies company, and the media have repeatedly commented on the fact that Mrs Middleton was, shock horror, an airhostess!!! Not an airhostess, how uncouth!! First of all; what’s wrong with being an airhostess? It’s a respectable, reasonably well paid job that flies you all over the world, good for her I say. Also, it’s not as if Kate...oh sorry Catherine...is a rags to riches story, which is such an ideal wet dream for the international media. She attended one of the most expensive, prestigious schools in the country, lives in a beautiful house in the sleepy English country side, went to a good university, studied the oh-so classed degree Art History, and in no way can be described as a commoner!! I think the way the media have scrutinised her family is insulting to society. Isn't it better that our future queen comes from a sensible, hardworking family, that have inevitably imbued to their children the need for down to earth hard work and the principles of good business? I think so. Better that than some ignorant, silver spooned, aristo-brat who thinks that lavish lifestyles grow on trees and no sense of the value of well...anything! Leave them alone, I feel that the values of hard work and sensibility are much more necessary for a future royal than delusions of grandeur tied up in land and a title! I look forward to the wedding, and hope that the media give her a break!
