Another Princess — I can’t help it- I love Cinderella stories.

Oh, Bonnie. Now I'm REALLY crying…just saw the 1st photo op after the engagement…he gave her his Mother's beautiful blue sapphire/diamond engagement ring. I remember the same picture of his mother's hand at her engagement announcement … and my mind flashed to the picture of her wearing one of the very few early outfits I liked from the 80's…a brown tweed suit. She wore it at Balmoral after her honeymoon (you can tell I REALLY liked looking at her outfits — I remember so many of them- glommed onto my brain). Boo hooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

I am not much for Hollywood gossip, but I really like watching certain members of the royal families – Spain's Princess Letizia, Monaco's Princess Caroline and Charlotte, Sweden's Princess Madeleine, Japan's  Crown Princess Masako and Princess Aiko ( soooo cute!). Of all the Hollywood types fashion-wise, I have a fondness for the style of Jennifer Aniston…her style choices ( after her divorce) remind me of the type and body remodeling of Princess Diana after her divorce. Very elegant , simple and highlighting all the best of their age 35+ figures- perfection.

Phillip was VERY handsome when he was younger! (He is an attractive older man today).

Looks like our posts crossed!  My sister just lost her engagement diamond…fell out of the setting. I lost the ruby stone from the ring my husband gave me after Adam was born. I have since replaced it –but it's just not the same and I never wear the ring. I also don't wear my engagement/wedding rings since learning of my sister's loss. I should as what is the use of having jewelry if you don't wear it…but I want Rachel to have it and I am nervous- the stone has fallen out before. While  cleaning up broken glass in the basement…just as I was about to sweep it into the bin the phone rang and I went up to answer, noticed the empty setting and was sick about it. Searched everywhere and then went downstairs to finish cleaning. I bent down to sweep the glass into the dustpan and noticed a pointy, really sparkly piece – it was my diamond! I was so happy. Wore it for years after…until my sister lost hers.

Diana's ring is GORGEOUS. I remember she said she picked it because it was the largest one in the tray ( smart girl ). Maybe only girly girls think this story is charming…one of my sisters called a bit ago and said, 'yeah, I guess you're all teary eyed goofy about the prince, huh? I knew you'd be idiotic about it all "   Nice, eh? She is very… blah.

They own a party business…paper products, etc. Who knew paper plates were so lucrative?! You can have millions and millions from your dealing drugs (or  Nascar memorabilia;) and still be a very common  commoner-ha! Also news anchor mentioned  her great great grandfather was a coal-miner. She is adorable and I like her voice. I remember that as much as I liked Diana…her voice always surprised me.
