For royal wedding guests of Prince William and his Kate,April 29, 2011 a list of does and don'ts, especially the latter.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

By now I am sure you are aware that April 29, 2011 is a very special day in the prodigious annals of the British monarchy. H.R.H. Prince William, white hope of the dynasty, marries his Kate... and his

grandmama The Sovereign is adamant that all be done just so -- or else.Sadly, you have not been invited. Admittedly it is abashing, even humiliating. But you will be gladto know that the lot of the those precious few invited is not a bed of roses. The empire on which thesun never set is history, but protocol, the right thing done in the right way, is very much alive chezWindsor.

Let's take a look.

The Windsors are nothing if not keen on pageants that are meticulously planned and flawlesslycarried out. They know that it was not always thus in royal ceremonial. One way they know this was by careful scrutiny of my first book "Insubstantial Pageant: Ceremony and Confusion at Queen

Victoria's Court". (1979). I was the first American ever granted access to the Royal Archives atWindsor Castle... and it was part of the deal that The Queen and Prince Charles get advance copies toincrease their knowledge of the hopeless mismanagement of ceremonies by their regal ancestors.

Confusions, muddles, and disorganizations were the order of the day. It was supremely frustrating,irritating, and inexcusable that the English made so many mistakes, even lethal, in presenting themonarchy to the nation. Ceremonies of the highest significance and importance -- coronations even-- were so lamentably organized and delivered that the English monarchy became a byword for ineptitude.

We owe improvement to Prince Albert.

Queen Victoria, only 18 when she ascended the throne in 1837 had far better things to do than worryabout ceremonial derelictions. For openers she was free of the heavy thrall of the Duchess of Kent,her mother; perhaps the ultimate controlling Stage Mother of all time. The first thing the new queendid was order her bed to be taken out of the bedroom she had shared all her life with her mother...then order dinner to be served to her alone, the first time that had ever happened. She was free, freeat last! She was queen, her every wish a command instantly carried out. A few glaring mistakes incourt ceremonial counted for nothing.

But the German princeling she married, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha was very, verydifferent. The insidious culture of royal errors and tolerance for same made him nervous, dyspeptic,and determined to apply Teutonic efficiency to the problem. He fumed, he fretted, he even wept at

the minuscule progress. But there was progress. Just not enough of it.As the grasping English built the largest empire ever assembled on this planet, their royal pageantscontinued to be notable for all the wrong reasons: they were lackadaisical about the protocol thatconsumed other royal houses; thereby causing endless hurt feelings. Their planning was always of the too little, too late variety. And like clockwork, security arrangements were so lax that everyceremony produced a bumper crop of dead, the victims of English inability to get it right... andwithout fatalities.

All this is no doubt known to Elizabeth II and the princes of her house and their constant motto is"Never again!" Thus, they are fastidious in the business of Getting It Right. When the English were agreat nation, the sovereigns themselves were scarcely punctilious about such matters; but with only

'I am so happy...' Some thoughts on Their Royal HighnessesThe Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, the next incarnation of Wills and his Kate.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's Note. To get into the right and proper mood for this article, search any search engine for Sir

William Walton's resounding "Crown Imperial." This was the music Their Royal Highnesses heardas they walked the Westminster Abbey red carpet to their future subjects, the cynosure of every eye.Walton was the perfect choice... you'll see.

The State Landau, smart and polished had just driven up to the gate where the newly minted, newlymarried Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were waiting. The woman who started the day as KateMiddleton, turned to her new husband and said the magic words, so telling because we all felt thesentiment before she even uttered it. "I am so happy," she whispered to her prince, truly charmingand a bit abashed by his position this day and perhaps thinking, "Waiting was worth it. I am trulymarrying the woman I adore... and everyone is so glad about it. And I do believe she loves me for myself."

The pageantry and ceremony in general.

In the 19th century, the British and their monarchy were a byword for sloppy, disorganized, andoften dangerous royal ceremonies. The person who was most instrumental in changing matters wasQueen Victoria's "beautiful" (her word) hunk the German princeling Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha.From his time at Court in the mid-1800s things got better, slowly but surely, as I detail in my book "Insubstantial Pageant: Ceremony and Confusion at Queen Victoria's Court (1979). By the early 20thcentury the overall reality of ceremonial muddle had been replaced by a professional approach toshowcasing the monarch to his people. The British are now justly renowned worldwide for theflawless pageants that punctuate each sovereign's reign and present him to his subjects and the world just the way he wishes.

The now traditional and punctilious pageantry we expect was very much on display on Friday, April29, 2011. It was a joy to watch the aspects emerge... particularly given the fact that this eventoperated under peculiar circumstances... the inevitable, could-never-be-avoided comparisons to the pageantry and circumstances of the marriage 30 years before between Prince Charles, Prince of Wales and Lady Diana Spencer. The marriage and ceremonial arrangements of Diana, Princess of Wales' elder son and his beautiful Kate had to be considered carefully so that all of the inevitablecomparisons tilted in favor of the soon-to-be Cambridges... as they most surely did.

Princess Diana's marriage to the heir to "this throne of kings, this England", Prince Charles was anaffair of the highest state; after all the groom was the heir to the imperium. In retrospect, what

seemed so beguiling at the time appears as more an event than a marriage. Splendor (and perfectcoordination) was there... love and affection were not. It was an omen for the tragedy whichfollowed, besmirching the reputation of Prince Charles and ending in Princess Diana's sad demise.

Both of Princess Diana's sons, groom Prince William and justly concerned younger son PrinceHarry were clear on what they wanted... a real marriage, a real wedding, true and heartfelt feelingsall round.

There is no question but that they got what they wanted... which was a decided relief to the Britishnation and its Commonwealth... and its Queen, Elizabeth II, who arrived back at BuckinghamPalace after the marriage ceremony and proclaimed the day's events "amazing." And so they were...







The Married Couple.

After the cynical, loveless marriage of the groom's mother Princess Diana, the nation and bodylanguage experts were on the qui vive for "the truth" about this couple, their wedding, and whether itconfirmed (or challenged) the good feelings they had about Wills and Kate, and their pivotal role inestablishing just the right reality (not merely image) that will allow the monarchy to flourish after themany crises of the current Royal Family, particularly the much married, much divorced children of Queen Elizabeth, a tawdry, shopworn crew.

April 29th delivered what everyone wanted: a grounded, affectionate, sincerely attached couple, people who are what they seemed to be, not a scandal waiting to happen.

Kate's gown was the first clue. Lady Diana's overdone gown made her look like a confectioner's bride. Who's idea was the taffeta anyway? But Kate, chic Kate, delivered exactly what one wouldhave wanted for one's own family wedding: a form-fitting dress that breathed classic good taste,undeniable (though understated) elegance. It is the dress of a lady of taste, breeding, good judgement, and, so very visible, care, every one a desirable trait for her future job asone-who-may-be Queen Consort.

The little clues so beloved of commentators and would-be cognoscenti began to stack up:

* The interaction between Princes William and Harry indicated just how close they are; they neededto be given the scandal and tragedy of their parents' relations. Harry, for all that he's a knownwise-acre, will be lonely now; Wills has other things to do which, even with the best will on earth,will limit time with Harry.

* The way he looked at his bride for the first time in her riveting marriage attire... and said, quitesimply, "You look so beautiful." And so she did... and what every bride longs to hear, thecompliment based on affection, awe, and a dawning awareness that he is really getting married, andto the person he has always wanted.

* The body language. As all the world knows, these two people took some eight years to get

acquainted, know each other, argue and make up with each other, and love each other. The time theywisely took enabled them to become and be a couple, then yesterday, a married couple. They movetogether well; I was interested to see how they left the Abbey, hand in hand, the new Duke of Cambridge putting down the heel of one shoe on the toe of the other, so as not to hurry his duchess inher gown and (not too long) train.

Mad for Kate.

I have long been a Kate Middleton admirer; I thought she had just the right traits of heart and mindto be a truly helpful, loving partner to her prince, the better enabling him to do the important work hemust do to transform and improve the monarchy in a world of relentless change. After yesterday, myalready substantial admiration has substantially increased. She played her part faultlessly and, more

than that, with her new husband's complete concurrence they turned their marriage from an event of monarchy and nation into a true wedding, dedicated to each other and their friends and family,including their great nation.

Everything was done well, thus delivering just what everyone wanted: two deeply devoted peoplewith a great task, historic task before them, ready now together ready to do the best we well knowthem capable of.

And so the newest Royal Duke is now His Royal Highness of Cambridge, the old shire, not theUniversity and Kate gets what the Duchess of Windsor could only long for, the coveted letters HRH.True, of the many new Royal Dukes of Cambridge since the 17th century, not one has been notable







for anything other than his capacity for strong drink and wrong women and oodles of FitzCambridgechildren, royal byblows. Queen Victoria always had trouble with the Cambridges of her day, butfrom these self-same Cambridges came a pillar of the dynasty. That pillar was Queen Mary,Elizabeth II's dutiful, God fearing, monarchy reverencing grandmother... may our new duchess findsuch traits in herself. God Save the Queen (to be) and may she remain happy and glorious!







'Just reach out and touch me.' Prince Harry, Her Majesty, andthe undeniable urge to flaunt it if you've got it. Somethoughts.

by Dr. Jeffrey Lant

Author's program note. For thousands of years, since our ancestors in caves learned how to do what

comes naturally, men have been ogling women. It was their God- given right and no one but a fewdo-gooders thought anything about it. It was the way the world was, and we males liked it that way.

Then the sexual revolution of the 1960s took a remarkable twist. Women started, tentatively at first,to ogle men... and all of a sudden sexual equality meant exactly that. The fig leaf, so firmly in placefor millennia, was now dropped forever and ou la la meant Billie and Bobbie, not just Heather andMarie. Thus the world jumped at the chance to see His Royal Highness Prince Harry of Wales in thealtogether, up close and very personal.

The facts.

HRH's office reported this week that 27 year old Harry was bushed from his unrelenting labors at

the London Olympics. We empathize. It is, after all, strenuous work handing out gold medals andsaying just the perfect word of victory or consolation. He surely needed the holiday he took and allits perquisites. But where to go? For the funnest prince on Earth it had to be the funnest place onEarth, somewhere outside the empire where the sun still never sets and where grandmama wassovereign, somewhere where he could kiss and no one would tell.

And so it came to him, "Viva Las Vegas", the magic place where whatever happens stays. The perfect place to parteeeeeeeeeeeee!

Now, let's be clear about what goes on in the town universally called "Vegas". Gambling. Sex.Celine Dion. Sex. Over abundant dinner. Sex. Capische?

Let's be clear about something else. Harry is a bona fide prince of the bluest blood but the likelihoodof his ever reigning is miniscule. His father Prince Charles would have to be out of the picture andhis brother Prince William, the new Duke of Cambridge. Moreover, the minute Prince William andhis alluring wife Kate have a kid, Harry goes down another notch, oblivion his destiny. What's a boyto do in such circumstances? Rod Stewart, loyal subject of the dynasty, has the answer, and hedelivered it in his 1978 pop smash "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?". He made the necessary moves as clear as a how-to book, listen, learn, do.

"If you want my body and you think I'm sexy/Come on, sugar, let me know."

And women did, slowly perhaps but undeniably, and a whole new genre of males was born. We

called them boy toys. I was chagrined that I was old, far too old, to try on that persona and flaunt thelittle that was left. Call it caution. Call it common sense. Call it apprehension and fear. I demurred.But Prince Harry most assuredly did not.

Thus, this junior prince of Wales started off with the obligatory game of strip pool, so popular, so prone to reckless betting of vestments. But then, who needs clothes, in Vegas of all places?

Where was his security?

Here is where every single alarm bell in the kingdom should have gone off and where Harry'ssecurity detail should have been johnny on the spot reminding him that stripping and flinging hisglad rags on the floor was not, ahem, the best of all courses, sir. Such a warning may well have







caused HRH to pause and come to his senses, keeping his clothes on his body. Had he heeded thewarning, the world would have had to somehow get through the day adrift, without Harry's buff body to titillate and amuse us. But those bells did not go off... and this is a matter not for mirth butfor concern. Where were those agents when he needed them? This calls for investigation,explanation and disciplinary action.

Another matter for concern: the totally revealing photos which are now so easily accessible onlineare grainy, unprofessional, unclear; they resemble photos taken secretly from a closet or undisclosed

location. In other words, our feckless prince, all uncomprehending, went into a room of strangers,lost his clothes and thereby became a golden meal ticket to a shutterbug who saw his chance in thenaked body of this scion of Windsor to garner a king's ransom fast. It was ignoble, deplorable, butdo-able the way our clueless prince so carelessly operates.

Second royal child syndrome.

Harry's singular problems began with his birth. In the old saying, "the heir and the spare," he was"the spare". In this situation, well known to every royal family, the heir gets the good stuff, all thegood stuff; crown, kingdom, the respect of a great nation and its empire, and the best seat in thehouse for every royal pageant. Against this mountain of goodies, what "the spare" gets looks petty,derisory, even unfair. Yet it is the royal way.

As a result, second children, princes like Harry's uncle Andrew, Duke of York, Prince Charles'younger brother, and princesses like Margaret Rose, the Queen's late younger sister, get indulged toa degree... perhaps because their reigning parents feel sorry for them. In short, there is guilt and lotsof it, for all that this is the royal way. And so these indulged younger children run rampant in a wayno heir to the throne would ever be allowed to do.

Even more guilt in Harry's case.

Harry was just 12 when his adored mother Diana Princess of Wales died. A great nation wanted toreach out and give him comfort. This, in time, turned into near carte blanche, as if he were entitledto do whatever he liked because of the great tragedy that was his burden for life and haunting reality.

And so the "indiscretions" piled up:

How Harry was famously photographed wearing a Nazi uniform for a costume party. How he was photographed cupping the breast of a female TV presenter. How he uttered a racial slur whileteasing a fellow army cadet from Pakistan.

This prince more than most needed extra attention and as the events in Las Vegas show though heneeded it, he didn't get it. Will what ensued hurt the dynasty? No way. For Harry was indulginghimself in ways every English mate would understand, do whenever he could, and envy. It was acase of "that lucky dog" and a lascivious wink.

But what of Her Majesty the Queen? Surely she had something to say on the matter? Not

necessarily, for I suspect she realizes her own responsibility in the matter of her handsome, dashing,most humorous grandson, and likes him just the way he is. Any such call she might have madewould have contained only the most mild slap on the wrist, thus: "Harry, really...." "Yes,Grandmama." "Try not to be so trusting." "Of course, Grandmama." "And assume there are alwayscameras present." "You're right, Grandmama". "And do keep your clothes on, dear Harry." "Youhave my word, Grandmama." And that, this time, was that. But of course both knew he couldn'tkeep it.

Wanted: a good woman.

The solution? A good woman, of course, pretty in the English rose way, and above all someone who







would understand and love him for himself. His elder brother, someday to be king, found such a beloved. With luck, and fewer trips to Las Vegas, Harry will find his, too. Until then, we mustanticipate and expect more such indiscretions and misadventures splashed on the world's tabloids,giving us the opportunity to tsk tsk, disapprove, and, above all else, enjoy the discomfiture andwitlessness of a prince of the blood royal whose ancestor was once our puissant lord and king. It pleases us to see how far the mighty have fallen and hope to see how further still they may yet fall.
