成人快手

She is a stunning looking lady; I am 100% envious of our prince and want the royals to have learnt from previous ventures into welcoming commoners into the fold

Give the girl a chance; she will become a prize assets

Not a bit too 'council house' Andrew Jacks?

Thank you Graham,
May I start by wishing this couple the very best of happiness that life can bring, and as Williams mother found out money cannot buy happiness.
But with Charles his father around to guide him through his difficult years (being a half orphan) he seems to have come through it OK, and should make a wonderful Duke of Cornwall when he takes over from his father and follows in his footsteps. Kate I do not know much about her, but she looks the part and should make a fine Cornish maid.

Good luck to them.
Although, with my cynical hat on, one can't help wondering about the timing of all this, with the cuts and everything. Nothing like a "good news" story to bury the bad. Something to take our minds of whats to come.

Best of luck to them, a handsome couple as Duke and Duchess of Cornwall would be a great earner for the county.

Duke of a Duchy...
C....? of a 'county' ?

Prince Charles put the 鈥淐鈥� in Cornwall and heir to the thrown to boot, but now we have William and Kate coming along, this must be the icing on the cake, aren鈥檛 we lucky?

Don鈥檛 you just feel the excitement in the air already? Makes being on or off topic seem a load of fun LOL.

dippydocious youngcornwall: 'Don鈥檛 you just feel the excitement in the air already?'

No. No more than for any other young couple - gay, straight, common as muck or ambidextrous....

Anyway, helicopters can fall out of the sky, youngcornwall, however specially they may be maintained.

You'd be unwise to get all caught up allowing the brainwashing mutually commercially parasitic hullaballoo to steer your dippydocious infatuations out of control.

I couldn't care less about any marriage into a family notable only for falling out of the right vaginas.

What鈥檚 with this 鈥渄ippydocious鈥� then? Or is this the first dregs to bring this thread down to an unworkable position?

Duchess Catherine of Cornwall.
Has a ring to it.

Yes, Slimslad - The Duke and Duchess of the constitutional territory The Duchy Of Cornwall which is NEXT to England, just like Scotland and Wales. Very good - you're getting there.

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the house rules. Explain.

What do I think of Catherine Elizabeth Middleton? How can I possibly answer that having never met her and conversed at any length. Perhaps she is a charming, intelligent and witty individual but, on the other hand, perhaps not. Who knows except those close to her.

Please lets not get dragged into this media fed celebrity worship where image and artifice are god.

Surely this is an opportune moment to mention the excellent and fully referenced website from the Duchy of Cornwall Human Rights Association that explores the Duchies relationship with Cornwall and the UK:

It certainly looks like it, TheCornishRep. Very topical:
The Duke and absentee landlord of the territorial Duchy Of Cornwall actually visited the sodden subjects of his Duchy of Cornwall today. Put on a jolly good show! Then flew off again in his chopper.

Perhaps it's time to drag the constitutional institution that is the feudal Duchy Of Cornwall into the 21st Century - surely an embarrassment to the modern 'in this together' guy next door William 'Windsor' and future Duke - by the Privy Council and Parliament putting all of its assets and incomes into trust for the benefit of all the people of The Duchy of Cornwall rather than just one spoilt individual. Of course the incumbent Duke, whoever it may be from time to time, could always be chairman of the Board of Trustees Of The Duchy Of Cornwall Trust and Cornwall Council take over all the other legal and statutory functions and duties.

Some marriage advice for Kate.....avoid Harrods and wear a seatbelt

Cornwall could live without the whole "duchy" concept, its an anachronism in the modern world. Perhaps, though I very much doubt, William would be so good as to give up the title "Duke of Cornwall" which will automatically be bestowed on him by right of inheritance. After all, who would give up a whole county for their dominion, to milk for cash? I wouldn鈥檛.

Cornwall county gains little at present from its royal association, the county would possibly be better off without it. Though the royals are good for pulling in the tourists. Mayhap the more handsome, and slightly less bonkers, younger couple, William and Catherine, will provide a windfall in Cornish tourism receipts.

Perhaps they are worth keeping after all.

How wonderful William and Kate will marry on Friday 29 April, and there will be a public holiday on that day. I don鈥檛 suppose there will be many who will turn their noses up to a day off will there?

There is something nice I suppose that our county has it's own Duke so close to the Queen, her eldest son in fact.

This status is something which should be used and exploited for Cornwall's gains. Tourism being the obvious one.

What are you saying, Dave the rave - A Duke of a 'county'?
Surely it's the Duke of the Duchy.
As in, to be precise, the Duke of The Duchy Of Cornwall.
That's pretty clear, straightforward, proper, simple and correct.
How could you possibly have got so confused...

The timing of this wedding could be just what the holiday trade is looking for, an extended Easter break, the 26th 27th and 28th needs to be sorted, I am sure that will not be a problem.

See who this couple are going to invite to their wedding, bless them.

鈥淭hose likely to receive an invitation could include destitute teenagers from the homeless charity Centrepoint. The prince spent a night sleeping rough on the streets of London in support of their plight last year鈥�

Well, I thought the nationalists were opposed to Englishg rule in Cornwall. Now it seems AC is wantingt to have his cake and eat it.

Let's cerebrate our next Duke of Cornwall being wed, whatever, and our next duchess of Cornwall being announced.

A fine tradition since Edward III of England gifted Cornwall to his seven year old son (also Edward) in 1337 in order to provide an income for his heir.

Perhaps, Dave the rave, The Duke of The Duchy Of Cornwall has never been much more than an self-invited guest in the Celtic Nation of Cornwall as a result of external territorially acquisitive presumption and imposition.

How wonderful, a good day to bury bad news!

Do we have a crystal-ball gazer in our midst or a wet-blanket?

April 29th will be a day to remember, street parties the lot.

I sure this wedding will help to heal the wounds that still exist with some over the loss of Princess Diana.

No crystal ball, and no wet blanket.

I have no wounds that need healing over the "loss" of a person that I did not know.

Do you really not find the timing of this event to be rather convenient. A government that finds itself, whether you agree with them or not, having to bring in a lot of, what are going to be, unpopular "cuts", that will cause a lot of people a lot of hardship. What better than all the pomp and ceremony of a Royal wedding to take peoples minds off the more unpleasant news that is going to be heading our way.
Lets have hours and hours of speculation in the news about what her dress will be like, who is going to be invited, the wedding presents, even what flowers they will choose, instead of reports of people loosing their homes. At least the kids will be able to remember a wonderful street party, and how they got sick eating too much jelly, before they were made homeless.
Instead of people talking about the rising cost of living, or how much fuel is going up, or the care home down the street that is having to close, they can now talk about this joyous event.
Isn't it nice to be able to give the masses something to feel good about, so they won't feel to bad about all the other **** that's going on.

If you think that people are that easily hoodwinked, you got another think coming.

Let those who wish to enjoy this wedding with all its pomp and glory enjoy it, I say.

I would like to think this couple would be happy wherever they got married, even if it were down their local registry office, yes I know there are some who wish they would, but unfortunately they are caught up in the system like many others.

They are not obliged to be 'caught up in the system, youngcornwall.
Anyone born into 'royal' position and privilege can choose to abdicate it and become and live as a modern 21st Century 'commoner' rather than live a life of dysfunction as a fairytale fantasy figure projection.

Yes it is a free country, and this couple have chosen to go the whole hog, with all of the trimmings, and will go on to be great ambassadors for this country no doubt.

YC, it's not "hoodwinking", it's attention diversion. And, yes, peoples attention is that easily diverted.

Yes, let them, a spoonful of sugar is often most enjoyable.

Better than sourer-grapes any day.

I don't know YC, some of the best wine is made from sourer grapes.

youngcornwall, do you think Catherine Middleton will be entering the marital bed chamber for the very first time in royally suitable and 'Christian' condition for a bearer of the 'royal' line?
Or was that Bishop right all along?

AccurateChronometer Whatever the 鈥渃ondition鈥� she will be in, no doubt it will not suit everyone. Anyway it is recommended we look in our own eye first.

You're right, youngcornwall.
That's often a very good eye-dea.
It doesn't take narrowly monotheistic theological hocus-pocus to unveil that self-evident virtue to our view.

I hope this attack on the royals was just a one off incident, for this kind of hostility and demonstrations to carry on, or start up again at the royal wedding it would be very unfortunate.

Didn鈥檛 they do well? The photographers that is, for capturing the genuineness of this couples love for one another.

With today's communications, and, supposedly, one of the best Police forces in the world both protecting them, and "controlling" the protest, the question has to be asked, what the hell were they doing there?

Was it a "sight seeing" trip gone bad?

A complete cock up?

Or something more sinister?
