OK so, we’re adding to everything else themed Kate and Will’s with this blogpost… 
With all the hype gearing up to the event of the century it’s not surprising that a programme called ‘Meet the Middletons’ graced our screens this week, in preparation of getting ‘under the skin’ of the future queen.
I’m going to admit it, I did watch some of it but just to see how awful it was going to be… honest.
The programme toured the country, meeting the most extended; twice removed relatives of Kate Middleton, scanning their living rooms for the most tacky furniture in sight and making sure that any ‘common’ objects were forefront of our screens, telling the story of our fellow ‘commoner’ Kate.
Most of the relatives were actually from Kate’s mother’s side and so were not Middleton’s at all – making the programme seem somewhat even more bizarre, as an attempt to highlight how as a nation we’re all obsessed by class divides.
Think what you may about that, but the programme painted a very biased picture of a family desperately clutching to their distant shot at fame – was quite sad really, as I’m sure for many of them that’s not the case.
The rest of this week will no doubt be filled with other ‘serious’ programmes about the couple and hey, maybe we will get chance to see ‘Kate and Will’s’ the movie. Oh yes, there is a movie.
And with the palace announcing today that its keeping up with the times for the Royal Wedding with live streaming on Youtube and coverage by the second on Facebook and Twitter – will people really will be using social media to watch the event or whether the ‘good old fashioned’ TV will be back in its place.
I shall probably be sneaking a quick glimpse – just so I can have a look at the dress, of course.
