There has been a lot of wittering in the press about the Middleton's social standing. Some journalists don't think Catherine Middleton is "royal" enough to be a future queen. The hotel the family will be staying in during the wedding has just invested £160,000 in eight new beds for them (that is £20,000 per bed!) plus a further £150,000 on a "makeover" for the suite in which they will be staying. On the "princess and the pea" system (the idea that royalty find it impossible to sleep in anything but perfect luxury - even a single dried pea under the mattress will make it impossible for a princess to sleep) I think this proves the "royal" credentials of the family.
By contrast I can happily sleep on the floor. That puts my "royal" credentials so low that I doubt if I even qualify to become one of the Queen's corgis!
