Good lord… These two are almost as bad as Ross & Rachel (remember that show? that’s still culturally relevant, right?)
Prince William finally officially proposed to LOOOONNNGGGGGGtime girlfriend Kate Middleton. Granted, royal weddings may seem terribly romantic from our view, but on the back end, they probably have all the charm of a corporate merger. You can bet there were background checks, credit checks, portfolio reviews, medical exams, etc. etc. etc. before his dad and granny would sign off on giving Will permission to officially pop the question.
Apparently, he proposed using his mom’s engagement ring (awww!), the 18-karat oval sapphire, surrounded by diamonds… Since the time of Diana and Charles’ engagement, the “Diana” ring has inspired more knockoffs than any other piece of jewelery in history. Now Kate has the real one – suck on that haters!
Congrats to the William and soon-to-be Princess Kate! One day, maybe the British Royal family will stop being the worldwide embodiment of an unnecessarily indulged class of people who are exempted from responsibility of the real world.
Until then, we can watch Prince Harry be the delightful ginger playboy that we know he wants to be…
Harry convinces us that gingers perhaps have souls, and at least abs, after all.
