You mightn't like royalty, DO, but that's an unkind jibe. Since when did royalty have to be different to most of US? I think the British are, on the whole, a fairly plain lot, so why should they have to be pin-up material? Princess Margaret was a beautiful young woman by anyone's standards, Elizabeth was less glam but certainly attractive, Prince Philip was extremely handsome, Lord Mountbatten and his wife were a distinctively attractive couple, Prince William is certainly well-crafted, and Princess Marina was a classical beauty.

Age fades everyone's looks, but I think if you put them up against whatever an 'average family' is, they don't deserve your kick in the ribs. It's such old hat about Harry/Hewitt, though I know you persist with the observation whenever he's mentioned. If you take a look at the Althorpes, he's very much like his mother's brother. Neither of whom were unappreciated cosmetically.
