I don't remember Camilla or Sophie being criticised for smiling at solemn events in the same way Kate has been.
Both Camilla and Sophie have had their fierce criticisms written in vomit, vitriol and poison. Now both ladies have faded into the background and Miss Middleton, the newcomer, has taken the spotlights. Now she is the favorite target. The Daily Mail has the best pictures but is also the worst tabloid of all. It is especially worse because when you buy The Sun or The Mirror, you know you are reading an absolute rag. The Daily Mail however presents itself as a serious newspaper and does not have the same "trash" feel as The Sun or The Mirror. That is the danger of the Daily Mail, it gives some credibility to the most insane stories.
I don't understand the protocol for the seating arrangements or the speeches myself. William was outranked by every other Royal in attendance.
The Duke of Cambridge represented the United Kingdom, together with France and Germany THE most important West-European countries battling in Flanders and Northern France. This is shown by the prominent seatings of Mr Hollande, Mr Gauck and the Duke. Of course there were also Austria-Hungary, Russia, the Ottoman Empire, etc. in Central- and East Europe.
