Royal Wedding.

This week has been awful. Seriously awful.

Somehow I got sick on Monday. Like had the flu, want to die sick.

And then I got better.... or so I thought....

Here I am 4 days later feeling just as bad as Monday, maybe even worse.

Someone tell my body to fix itself....and soon.

Thank goodness I finally was able to get to the doctor today.

On the plus side...I have had a lot of time to catch up and watch some good 'ole television while being a bum in bed all day. Here's my thoughts:

Who knew Audrina from the Hills had a new reality show? I didn't!! But now I do. And now I have watched all 3 episodes. And it's pretty boring....but I'll still watch it I'm sure.

The Real World? Ya I have never watched it....until now. It's in Las Vegas again...so I thought what the heck....and I was in bed all day remember? ya...well...let me just tell you...MTV sure knows how to pick 'em because that show is getting worse and worse every season.... I'm sure. To find out your "boyfriend in the house" is/was a closet internet gay porn star. Umm...probably the worst thing that could possibly happen to a girl. I feel so bad for the girl. And I feel bad that I am watching it all unfold and now i need to know what happens next. Stupid MTV. If you don't watch...you probably should just keep it that way.

Now moving on to the Royal Wedding! 

I am suddenly so super intrigued. Kings, Queens, Princesses...they all seem so surreal. This is not real life....I'm pretty sure it's just a Disney movie or something. But I am loving all of the coverage. Okay maybe not ALL of it...but i do like to get my daily dosage of it. And the wedding...I recorded it and will surely be watching it as soon as I get home from work today.

In my "research" (if you can call wikipedia that) I found out some interesting things that I did not know. If you think I'm dumb for not knowing this things, I am sorry. But I'm sure there are plenty of you out there that didn't know it all either....

a.) Even though Catherine married a prince, she is not a princess. To be a princess on your own you have to be born into royalty. She will be named Princess William of Wales, when the monarchy is rearranged and prince Charles becomes the king. Her official title as of now is "Her Royal Highness, Duchess of Cambridge"

b.) Queen Elizabeth the II "reigns" over sixteen independent sovereign states... United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Jamaica, Barbados, the Bahamas, Grenada, Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, Tuvalu, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Belize, Antigua and Barbuda, and Saint Kitts and Nevi....I really just thought she was the Queen of England...who knew? 

c.) Kate and William are kissing cousins...Sir Thomas Leighton (an Elizabethan soldier, the Tudor tyrant was best known as the cutthroat Governor of Guernsey for some four decades.) '...is William's 12th generation great-grandparent, and Kate's 11th, making them 12th cousins, once removed.'

d.) When Kate Middleton becomes the wife of Prince William she will not be able to do certain things because she will be joining the Royal Family. These are the 10 obligations she must follow:

1. People may not address her as ‘Kate’

Once married, her official title is “Her Royal Highness Princess William of Wales.” People can refer to her as Catherine or Catalina in Spanish, but “Kate” may not be used.

2. She will not have the right to vote

Both the Queen and members of the family have the right to vote, but the royalty considered unconstitutional and violate the real desire to represent all sections of society, including minorities.

3. She cannot aspire to political office

For the same reason mentioned in point 2.

4. She cannot escape public observation

The future princess will have to avoid exhibitionism. She will have the approval from the public and rejection. She will always be in the sights of the people, the press and the rest of the world.

5. She cannot play Monopoly

In 2008, Prince Andrew, Duke of York, said the royal family was not allowed to play Monopoly at home because “it was a very vicious game.”

6. She cannot express issues that cause controversy

She cannot disclose publicly her political preferences, social, sexual and accept large amounts of money from the “business” for an interview with her husband.

7. She cannot eat seafood

The royal family does not eat seafood for fear of getting sick or poisoned.

8. She cannot perform any work

Although Kate has degree in Art History may not work for money while she is being part of the royal family but is allow making official activities and charitable causes and supporting her husband Williams on official missions.

9. She cannot sign papers which are not official

Kate cannot sign autographs or anything other than official papers already authorized by the Queen, just so her signature doesn’t get faked. But she could sign some papers and government regulation in lieu of her husband.

10. She cannot finish her meal

If Kate was eating slower than the Queen, she must quit although recently has started her plate. In Britain, when the queen finishes her meal, all guests must do it also.

As cool as it might be to be in the royal family....I think I would prefer my much more simple life. Disney does not make prince/princess life seem this complicated ;)

Congrats William and Kate...thanks for keeping me entertained during my sicky sicky week.
