William And Kate

Sunday, October 23, 2011

Who can even think about the royal wedding that’s between an ordinary man and a prince.At first glance they appear not to have much in common.

 One was born to a life of unimaginable privilege the cosseted daughter of a family of impeccably connected scottish nobles used to a life of privilege.


And the girl’s family is not so known. The other hails from a long line of Durham miner carpenters and tradesmen whose family clawed their way out of poverty through sheer hard graft.

And yet if one looks closer there are uncanny similarities between the late Queen Mother and new royal in-law Carole Middleton.

Some in royal circles have dubbed Mrs Middleton the Steel Marshmallow Mark 2 .

The phrase was originally coined by the photographer and royal acolyte Cecil Beaton to encapsulate what he believed to be the Queen Mother s remarkable character which he described as a marshmallow made on a welding machine.


As with the Queen Mother Carole s charming veneer masks an unyielding toughness one of her business suppliers describes her as personable but an absolute. Any how she became the princess.
