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With regard to the royal wedding I'd say that they as a couple have embraced the changing mindset of severely outdated cross cultural and class class divides.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!
It's the 1500s in the Calendar of the Country EK is based in and from which this Lady is a member of the Royal Family.
The status and rights of women has indeed gone ahead in leaps and bounds- but not equally across cultures or countries. That this young lady has crossed cultural boundaries is a good thing for which she should be congratulated- do you really think the reactions here, particularly the odious post from richardtheturd, are from people who celebrate the advancement of Women?
