Some Thoughts on Prince William's Wedding

I've been asking myself why the upcoming wedding of William Wales and Kate Middleton makes me feel a little squeamish.  I think I've found the reason:

November 1985,  Andrews Air Force Base, Washington D.C. 
(See photo credits at the end of post)

I have a vivid memory of the morning Diana, Princess of Wales, stepped off the plane at Andrews Air Force base in Washington D.C.  I was in the press pool at the edge of the tarmac.  

She was wearing a red suit that would be just as chic today as it was then, and she was even more beautiful in person than she looked in her photos. This lovely English rose was the future Queen of England.   Or so we thought.
