The Prince Willliam and Kate Middleton engagement reminds us anglophiles of another, more famous royalty/commoner marriage that took place in England in 1936. That was when King Edward abdicated his throne to marry American Wallis Simpson. That caused quite a hubbub in Great Britain, splitting the Brits in two camps, in favor of and against. No such turmoil has entered the William-Kate betrothal. No backlash expected. P.S. They make a good-looking couple in their engagement photos. Anybody who views her as tipsy in one shot is a despicable knave.
