Dear Kate (or Catherine, as you wish to be called)...

As a small kid I watched Prince Charles and Princess Diana`s wedding on TV. I could also remember the footage of them proudly showing off their firstborn William in the balcony of their palace, beaming towards the cameras.  

Years after, we`d all know their fairytale beginning did not end well. And the sad thing was, the world was there to see it all unfold tragically.

In these times when people become increasingly less infatuated with the concept of royalty, and young women more than ever, have more freedom and greater opportunities to pursue their dreams and lead the lives they want for themselves, I could only wonder how your life as a 21st-century princess would play out.  I know he`s a good catch, but don`t you think it kinda sucks to be known for the rest of your life just as somebody`s wife? How would you make your mark?

Sure, you have instant fame, glamour, beauty, clout...not to mention the bazillions more of pounds you may set to inherit, with a little more luck. But with those comes  the unimaginable stress of keeping yourself prim and proper always, of  conforming to traditions, however irrelevant and silly they may sometimes be. And,  the unenviable fate of being perpetually compared with your departed mother-in-law, who could now do no wrong in the eyes of the public, as dead people go. May you, and the the rest of us, commoners who will only get to watch the pomp and pageantry of tomorrow's ceremony from afar (as in, very very far) learn from what happened to her life.

Plus points, though, for telling people that it`s William who is lucky to have you, and not the other way around (or something like that).

With that I say, You Go, Girl. ;-)

P.S. Mabuti na lang talaga hindi tayo magkasabay ng date, hehe.
