The royal couple, a dream come true or a tragedy in the making? It depends on whether you have been watching or reading the saga enfold. Not only a difference in media forms, but also in the story line.
Ever since the engagement, the television networks have been following this couple in a positive way. They have been keeping the rest of the world informed about the loving relationship these two people have. While on the other hand, magazine tabloid’s have been busy tearing up their past, present and future lives with unnecessary rumours and gossip.
If you were like me, and only watched the television broadcast of the Royal engagement and wedding ceremony, then you would have only heard the positive side of the festivities.

They talk about the ring, her gorgeous dress, her hair, how lucky they were to have each other and how much they were in love. They didn’t once say a negative comment about either one of their past lives, or made up rumors about this couple or their families.

In an article written in ‘Star’ magazine, they wrote about Kate possibly being pregnant before the wedding and thus the rushed engagement and hurried wedding date. Rumours, rumours, rumours’, that’s all they want to spread. Are they trying to make the community turn on them, and doubt their relationship? Where do they get this information from? What is their goal when giving this couple such poor publicity?
On the other hand, one tabloid source has her infertile.
In this article, the ‘after plastic surgery’ picture of Kate Middleton doesn’t even look like her. If it is true, which I doubt, they should have chosen a picture that doesn’t look like her head has been pasted on to a random body. Nice try!

Frankly, I would rather watch the positive aspects of their lives, even if it is exaggerated, rather than hear about her cross-dressing uncle, queer brother or her prostitute cousin. So be careful what you watch and especially what you read. Or as Ben Franklin once said, “ Believe none of what you hear, and half of what you see.”
A lot of people believe that there would be pregnancy rumors circulated by the royal family within 6 months of the wedding, even if it wasn't true. It would be to drum up patriotism due to the new 'heir to the throne.' Other people are just rightfully apathetic.
ReplyDeleteYour right I honestly didn't even notice that all they talked about during the broadcast of the ceremony was the positive side!
ReplyDeleteAnyways, its true that really who wants to know the bad side of things, we know their not perfect cause nobody is!
I heard a lot of rumours about the Royal couple, but I truly could not believe how fake some of them sounded. It seems as though people want the couple to be put in a negative light even though they have done nothing to deserve that.
I hope the media continues to show more of the positive side of this couple rather than showing their flaws.
