boodieYou know whats really annoyed me lately, is the fawning over in the press of Mary Donaldson, so she's marying the scion of one of the minor monarchies of Europe, so what. Shouldn't we be beyond all of this now, perhaps if Mary was marrying into the emotionally fractured and damaged Windsor royal family of England, I could understand the fuss, seeing as how Australia can't quite seem to be able to ween itself off the dependence on the chinless wonders that are the British royal family.
But since it's only Prince Frederik, who seems to be a nice enough young man, but whose family are hardly what you'd call top flight royalty, all this slavish attention to the minutae of the wedding, AND broadcasting it on three channels, is this really the actions of a society that is supposed to be egalatarian, I think not.
So she's a tassie girl who won the heart of a Prince, big deal, I wish them well, but do they deserve the endless newspaper/tv/media coverage they're getting?. The answer is a resounding no, in the immortal words of Garfield.
BIG FAT HAIRY DEAL.
