The Royal Couple

As I write throughout this blog I will focus on sports and celebrities. This may seem vain, but it’s honestly something I am interested in and we are surrounded by it. It is amazing to me the influence that these things have over us. It is also fascinating to see how people represent themselves and the reactions of people to that. Basically, people are just fascinating.  

I have a confession; I love the Royals, mostly Princess Kate Middleton. I think that Prince William made a fabulous choice. Of course I love that they seem to actually be in love, unlike past royalty. Kate is so classy and has impeccable style. She seems real, and I think the people who meet her can attest to that. I really feel like the Royal couple, as media calls them, represent themselves well.

Of course being the Royal couple means that they will always be watched and followed, which means they need a good public relations representative. This was really the case as they visited Australia and New Zealand a few weeks ago.  One of my favorite articles that I read about their visit was when they recreated a photo that was taken of Princess Diana and Prince Charles 31 years earlier. They were prepared and knew this event was coming; it was a prime photo opportunity. What I found especially interesting while reading different articles was how everyone compared the two couples. We all know how the Princess Di and Prince Charles relationship ended, and we rejoice that William and Kate’s relationship seems to be headed in the opposite direction.

This opportunity was also used to show the interaction between the Royal couple and native people there. The article shows photos of them graciously accepting gifts and showing that they cared about them. This was all very well played out and was a great opportunity to show the Royal couple graciously fulfilling their duties. I think the public relations work was really well done, and I’d like to think there was no “spin” on it!
