I’ve never understood the obsession with the Royal Family and I honestly thought with the new breed of Kardashian-esque celebrities, the media’s infatuation with the Royals was fading.
Well, I was WRONG. I woke up this morning to find that my Facebook newsfeed was saturated with media coverage of Princess Charlotte’s debut on the balcony of Buckingham Palace to mark the Queen’s 90th birthday.
This was a HUGE deal apparently. HUGE.
At just 13-months-old, Charlotte’s appearance and behaviour on that balcony was the subject of intense media scrutiny and commentary.
She stole the show from the Queen, she upstaged her older brother Prince George, she waved too much, she waved too little, she hasn’t yet mastered the royal wave (that’s because she’s a baby, guys), she looked uncomfortable, she didn’t smile enough – couldn’t she just smile more?
Yes, really. She’s only one and she’s already being told to smile more.
