| Description: | British Studies presents "The Royal Wedding and the Making of a Modern Princess," a seminar led by Lindsey Schell, librarian for English literature and women's studies at The University of Texas Libraries.
The April 2011 nuptial celebration of Prince William and Catherine Middleton offered a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revel in the grandeur and pomp of British ceremony at its best. Through the inevitable comparisons of Catherine with her husband's late mother, Princess Diana, we see an evolving model for the modern European princess. As both commoner and royal, Catherine must carefully balance the expected glamor of her position and, indeed, the promoting of herself, with the role of the People's Princess, ever in touch with the masses from which she rose to become the Duchess of Cambridge. |
