And I immediately thought of you. ;)

I hope the college tour is going well.

LOL and I am not even a relative. But on a semi-related note I recently learned that Prince Edward wanted to be the Earl of Wessex because of Colin Firth in Shakespeare in Love.

And thank you! We are en route from IU in Bloomington to UM in Ann Arbor!

Just realized that barring disaster, I'm too old and won't live to see the new baby crowned king! :-(

The sad thing about monarchy is that his father certainly won't either.

Unless he abdicates, like the King of Sweden (?) just did. {Runs off to google, because I don't want to look that ignorant...} BELGIUM!

I suspect that the Queen would never abdicate because of the circumstances that put her father on the throne, and that by the time Charles gets there, he's not leaving till they carry him away. But the generation after that, who knows.

We are staying 10 miles from the zoo -- see you tomorrow. *g*
