A Royal Headache: Does William’s Marriage Really Matter That Much?
So apparently Prince William is getting married to Kate Middleton on April 29. I understand he is a part of the royal family but all this exposure they are getting is becoming annoying. Stamps with their faces plastered on them? A coin? Is this all really necessary? Okay. Maybe since […]
