the spirit of diana was ever present this day at the marriage of kate and wills. although i waited for one commentator to make mention of the why many of the well wishers lined the royal road i did not hear it: not since 1997 at diana's funeral have so many gathered in london's streets and their presence today was as much for her (memory) as for the bride and groom. yes they were their to witness happiness for the once 15 year old who followed his mums casket after her untimely death. her spirit also influenced the more modern wedding we saw today than the stuffier one between charles and lady di. wills his is mother's son. i believe he will carry on her legacy of making the monarchy more modern. i will say i believe he has chosen the right partner for this role.
is it possible to see his smile, his eyes and demeanor and not see diana? i think not. i think diana would have been proud today. she happily appears to have had more influence on william in 15 years, his formative years, than the windsors have had on him. brava diana. bravo kate and wills.
