A Royal Wedding In Hello! Magazine. How Sad Is That?

May 26, 2008

I thought it was sad, that royal wedding in the Hello! magazine. Did it seem sad to you? I thought it was very sad.

What I personally find amazing myself, apart from the fact, of course, that young minor royals have to go to the press to earn a quick buck, is how common many of the guests looked. You know, very, very common indeed. No style in them, no class, no pedigree. None at all. Take that Zara Philips, for example. Why on earth does she share her name with that Spanish department store chain? And why does always dress like a shop assistant and always shows that flesh of hers? What is it with her? Where is her mother’s influence?

Now, I shouldn’t be probably saying this, but I found that the bride, that Canadian woman, Autumn Kelly, did not look classy too. Yeap, classy she wasn’t. She was the one, as I understand, who had negotiated the deal with Hello! in the first place. Not a good start to a royal marriage, was it? Not a good start at all.

But the biggest thing that surprised me was that senior royals, you know, the Queen, Prince Phillip, Prince Charles and others who actually thought that they would not be photographed in the shoot. Thought that the snappers from Hello! would simply ignore them and only photograph the minor royals and the gusts whom nobody knows. Yeah, right. That was the main idea, was it? To have a hundred photos with mostly total unknowns on them. Now that would have sold millions of copies, wouldn’t it?

Some people might say that this is no big deal really because we already had royals in the past featured in all sorts of magazines and in all sorts of situation. That very same Zara, who shares her name with that Spanish department store chain, paraded her love nest in Hello that he was sharing with her then live in boyfriend, some jockey. And there was Viscount Linley, and Marina Mowatt, and, of course, the Duchess of York. They have all been on the pages of Hello!.

But what makes this occasion stand out, of course, is that it was a royal wedding. And a royal wedding somehow does not seem like a good occasion for an exclusive shoot by a celebrity magazine. Doesn’t look good somehow. They could have, you know, chipped in and helped out the bride and groom if they were that desperate money wise. Or they could have invited a Russian oligarch with his wife or girlfriend and asked him to pay for the whole thing. And there would be no fuss, no embarrassment, and he could have even paid for the stag and hen parties and might have even flown the young couple on his private jet to Russia for a holiday of a lifetime. The opportunities could have been endless. But no, no one thought of that. And now it’s embarrassment all around.
