There are not many of them
really - women born into ordinary non-royal families who catch the eye of heirs to wealthy Kingships and are instantly
elevated to potential Queen status. The newest addition to this group (Queen Rania of
Iran, Crown Princess Masako of Japan; Crown Princess Letizia of Spain, Crown Princess Mary
of Denmark) is Kate Middleton, the lovely English rose who has just been propelled into this elite and very special group.
Like the other princesses not by birth but by marriage, she has
her very own prince charming and will very soon take her place within this elite band of
commoner Queens. The world is enthralled by her beauty and waits spellbound for the royal wedding to beat all royal
weddings which will likely occur in the Spring of 2011.

What do these ladies have that others do not - a
T
hese are ladies destined to be royal and fated to be crowned Queens. A life lived in the public eye filled with
banquets and balls, glamour and glitz, pomp and pageantry and of course lots of wealth, not necessarily their own but abundance embraces them and defines them. Queenship today guarantees a lifestyle of superlative affluence… if only it also guaranteed personal happiness. Unfortunately it does not. A commoner becoming a princess gets thrust up high into the top stratospheres of very important people; they are treated with reverence and a strict protocol, never mind if they want it or not. Teir life transforms swiftly, for in an instant, they can no longer have personal friends, nor do ordinary things, nor take a day off. Becoming a princess brought nothing but heartache to Diana, whose sad story as the Princess of Wales the world already knows (and many will surely compare Kate Middleton with the beloved Diana). Princess Diana was like Kate a commoner, although she was from the nobility and despite bearing not one but two sons and hence fulfilling her wifely duties, her marriage to the Crown Prince of England brought
her nothing but pain and heartache. It did not bring too much joy to
Grace, movie-star turned Princess of Monaco either. Princess Grace was rumoured to be terribly unhappy - a bird in a gilded cage trapped in a loveless marriage and living in the pink palace of Monaco. She died a tragic death at an early age, the same way Princess Diana did. And if reports filtering out of Japan are to be believed, Princess Masako there is not exactly joyous either. She in fact suffered a nervous breakdown trying hard to produce a male heir for the chrysanthemum throne and has been in hiding since 2004. When she married into the Japanese Royal family, she showed much promise, being in the Japanese diplomatic service and having a degree from Harvard no less. Despite her brains, she was no match for the protocol-ridden bureaucracy of royalty.
All of which makes for heady stuff for women not born royal, for once officially anointed, as Kate Middleton has just recently been, they become icons of style and behaviour, not expected to put a foot wrong or say a word out of line. Always perfectly groomed to be admired and feted, treated with deference… and never expected to appear anything but happy and joyous and bright-eyed!
