Kate Middleton greets the crowds after she and Prince William officially launched the new RNLI’s lifeboat ‘Hereford Endeavour’ on February 24, 2011 in Trearddur, Wales.
This was the extraordinary scene yesterday as Prince William’s fiancée went for lunch with the woman who will soon be her stepmother-in law, the Duchess of Cornwall, for a primer on marrying into the Royal Family.
Camilla, of course, knows all about advising princesses in waiting. Thirty years ago she sat down with a teenage Lady Diana Spencer in the run-up to her marriage to the Prince of Wales.

Kate Middleton nail polish by Butter London -
The limited-edition nail laquer is grayish-blue and glitter-infused, according to Nonie Créme, Butter London’s creative director. And of course, it gives a cheeky nod to Kate’s pre-engagement nickname, “Waity Katie.”
Way to class it up, Butter.
Consider it bought. I haven’t even looked at it yet but I’m getting it.
Well obviously I need this. C’mon.
I’m anxiously awaiting William and Kate’s first interview. I know it might seem silly to be so excited about this wedding. When I was in middle school I went through a phase as my mother called it. One of two phases, actually. The first was an obsession with Kentucky Basketball and the second was an obsession with the British Royal Family. I read every book I could get my hands on about either subject. I had pictures of basketball players and William and Harry on my walls like my friends had boy bands on theirs. My grandmother loved the royals almost as much as I did. It was fun escapism and we’d spend hours on the phone gossiping about what we’d read about them. I just wish my grandma was alert and aware enough to know what was going on today. She’d be thrilled.
