Not being American, I didn't grow up with that American Camelot meaning a lot to me, although I do remember the news and did find it very sad.
I think the last major royal wedding ended up with divorce and then untimely death so I guess, hoping that bad luck doesn't come back is natural. I don't follow the royal family closely, but they have always been in the background for me (being a Commonwealth citizen and of course, half a Brit) but to me Wills will always be that young boy standing with his brother behind his mother's coffin. That is still one of the saddest thing to think of, even now. Such a lot for a young man to have to deal with and under such public scrutiny. But I think he is a very grounded guy, considering his lineage and Kate seems lovely and they have known each other for a long time. I really hope for good things and wish them well.
