Just checking the calendar...yep, it says its 2018, we have advanced quite a lot with treating women as equals since the 1800's....or so I'd like to think. Let's forget about her title for just a moment, EK has hired many women for many differing roles, why should this one have any special attention? It's not fair to the many women before her that received no praise and wouldn't expect or welcome any. In this day and age if we still find need to elevate these "accomplishments" in what can only be described as " a cheesy attempt" to garner recognition for the company, then we haven't really made much headway to embrace new attitudes towards women at all.
With regard to the royal wedding I'd say that they as a couple have embraced the changing mindset of severely outdated cross cultural and class class divides. Good on them!
