The Telegraph (April 24)
“The monarchy is about to embark on the greatest experiment in social mobility in its modern history.” Kate Middleton comes from the “first genuinely middle-class family to marry an heir to the throne.” Will her marriage to Prince William work? Will she suffer snobbery? Or will this marriage prove that the “big society” touted by Prime Minister David Cameron can work? The British are glued to the event for reasons that have “everything to do with what we are, how we got here and where we are going.”
