I had the same thought, shysal, about Kate looking too thin. She is very elegant but she would be still if she were not quite so thin. The last few months must have been stressful which can't have helped.

I enjoy the coverage in small doses. They seem a genuine couple. I just wish that Kate had not lost so much weight, I hope young girls will not try to do the same.

crimson I'm in complete agreement with you. I loved the wedding. They seem a genuinely lovely couple. Really in love and not just a 'convenience' wedding.

crimson - I'm with you and I loved the wedding - made me very proud to be British and they represent our country so well. All joy and luck to them.

So did I. I'm also immensly proud to see them representing us on the world stage.

I enjoy watching the coverage of William and Kate. They seem a nice young couple and seem to enjoy being together. I loved watching the wedding.

She's promoting British fashion all over the world, which can't be a bad thing. It gives me pleasure to see two young people so happy, especially William.

They seem a pleasant young couple, but unfortunately the press/tv coverage will go on and on and on, no let up. It will get even worse when a baby is announced.

I don't mind the coverage of Will and Kate, they seem remarkably normal and unstuffy. But have no doubt the press will turn against the Duchess as soon as she makes a mistake. She seems fairly composed at the moment, and If we have to have constant Royal coverage I would rather it was them than anyone else. Except for possibly the Queen who just gets on with it and never puts a foot wrong.

I`m still enjoying seeing the newly weds, because they seem to be a nice young couple. I used to get heartily sick of coverage of Diana and her doings, it was always in your face, and still is when the anniversary of her death comes around.

I'm fed up with seeing them! I don't care at all about them. There are just so many other things going on just now and to see the amount of money that's being spent on what they 'need' to do in order to 'integrate' themselves into the rest of the world makes me angry! angry

I think we may all have had rather more royalty on the television than is comfortable. It seems to be getting sycophantic to say the least, but perhaps some people really do enjoy the coverage. Whether there's too much of the most recently married couple or not, I do wish that presenters would stop referring to the Duchess of Cambridge as Kate Middleton. They used to do the same thing with the late Princess of Wales and called her Lady Di.
