your great grand parents may remember the Prince of Wales
or(if younger)the Coronation of young Queen Elizabeth 2
her Royal Marriage to the (Greek) Duke of Edinburgh
perhaps that jovial Queen Mother who lived so long
she saw her children both marry and divorce
The whole world remembers Lady Di-
popular and populist,for orphans and clearing land mines
until that Paris smash that brought Harrods on a collision course with Royalty
and now her children are of an age
they can embrace the massed media
in a replay of Women's Weekly and Women's Day
Headlines of wedding dresses seem like deja vu
They will be entombed in the same public view
wherein and whereby we the paying public
get PAY PER VIEW.We will stare at her hair
and wonder at his resemblance to his father.
Gossdip columns will bulge with diet information
and every personal detail will be shared(at length (but not depth
as if anyone really cares.Leave them be
They are as antiquated as Royalty
A private function in a  pub-honeymoon in Australia
would be a worthy start to a post -colonial FACEBOOK virtual world
They do not even have to marry!Di had lovers ,so did Charles
Let them be free to be contemporary!
Who needs a public spectacle historic as World War 2?
i know-you do!
