The latest Royal Wedding word to come out of the UK is that Kate Middleton wants to wear flowers in her hair, not a tiara. A tiara is of course the more classic option — with the Queen and the late Princess Diana both wearing them on their wedding day as well as to various other royal engagements. We think Kate will look gorgeous whatever she decides to wear — hurry up already, April 29 — but we couldn't resist a quick flashback through the years to see what other royals had gone for. We do love a good wedding, after all!

With the greatest of respect, it is time that someone took example from the story of "The Emperor's New Clothes" where Prince William's bride-to-be is concerned. Can someone please remind the couple that they are ambassadors (and much more) for this Kingdom? It may be 'cute' to wear one's hair with a ragged parting, but for goodness sake, it is not high couture to wear one's hair with more care or to dress to a higher standard (even if the country is in a recession). Scruffy trainers to lunch! Ragged parting in one's hair! Cheapish clothes! What is going on? This couple has the wonderful opportunity of representing the country (on television, etc) and their big day will be watched by billions- so why wear flowers, etc? Remember Grace Kelly- "a commoner" albeit a film actress: she was always the embodiment of grace, beauty and couture. It is what we need. Free expression be damned- people need a couple to look up to and some top class glamour, finesse and couture will not go amiss. The world is watching. Give the world a feast to behold in these times of crime, murder, and shamelessness- please.

I know, I think I'd have to wear a tiara if I had a choice of all that bling! x
