Duchess? It has a certain ring to it…
Blog Guy, thanks for all your coverage of the royal visit by Britain’s Prince William and Catherine, the Duchess of Cambridge. I guess it served its purpose, to raise their profile, huh?
Oh grow up. You think this visit was about them? The Brits have the single most famous piece of jewelry on earth, Catherine’s 18-carat sapphire and diamond ring, and they want to make sure it keeps circulating.
I gather market research and found there were a couple of people in North America who hadn’t seen it, so it was time to correct that.
They arranged a whole royal tour just to show off a ring?
Sure. It’s in almost every shot of Catherine on the trip, playfully sparkling for the cameras. You think that was an accident?
