While Diana and Prince Charles‘s big day was hailed as ‘wedding of the 20th century’
by the media, there
Although Prince William is Kua 9 in East House and Catherine is Kua 8 in West House, his element of Earth supports her Metal element. Diana on the other hand was very young and immature and was swept into the marriage by circumstances and hardly knew her husband on a personal level. It was an arranged marriage with Diana harbouring a romantic idea of marrying her Prince Charming weaned from her notion of romance from her favourite read of Mills and Boon novels. But what both ladies have in common are their beauty, warmth and ability to win hearts. Detractors who initially cast doubt on the suitability of Catherine as the future queen consort have

now succumbed to her beauty, charm, elegance and the dignity with which she conducts herself
“Where Diana had failed, Catherine is likely to succeed as she has a supportive husband by her side who marries her out of love and who is determined not to make the same mistake as his parents.”
in public and to the media. She carries herself more regally than most aristocratic ladies put together. Although she has been hailed as the latest fashion icon in the media, she is neither a victim of fashion nor a mere clotheshorse. She is so secure in her own skin that she is not afraid to wear high street fashion or be seen in the same dress twice. In fact, she has been described as ‘frugal’ and her wardrobe is affordable to ordinary women who are inspired by her.
was already a bad omen from the beginning with a third party skulking in the background and Diana casting doubt on the marriage. Catherine and Prince William’s wedding on 29th April 2011 on St Catherine’s Day was celebrated as the ‘wedding of the 21st century’ and no one wanted to jinx it by calling it a ‘fairytale wedding’. Tis is a wedding borne out of love of two soul mates who are clearly very much in love. Once again the whole world rejoiced and cheered as Catherine Middleton, in her beautiful Grace Kelly style wedding gown walked down the aisle in Westminster Abbey and emerged on the arms of her Prince as the Duchess of Cambridge, the future queen of the United Kingdom. She is the hope of the House of Windsor to lift the curse of unhappy marriages (Princess Margaret, Princess Anne, Prince Andrew and Prince Charles’ track record of divorces) and to ensure the monarchy is back on track in the hearts of the people. Where Diana had failed, Catherine is likely to succeed as she has a supportive husband by her side who marries her out of love and who is determined not to make the same mistake as his parents. On their recent trip to Canada and America, it was clear to see the great
respect and
adoration they have for each other as a
team, with Prince William guiding his bride through the minefield of public protocol on royal visits. By contrast, when Diana and Prince Charles were on their visit to Canada, the Prince was irritated when the public was more enamoured with the Princess than with him. It is such a joy to see the Duke and Duchess together so in love and so at ease with each other and may they live happily ever after. Diana must be laughing from her grave with approval.
