Culture is “that which sustains and
nourishes those who live and move within it” (Brummett, 2011,pp. 21). Although
we Americans have an interesting culture of our own, something about other
cultures seems to intrigue us. With the recent wedding of Prince William and
Kate, American’s are especially interested in the culture of England. This week
on Yahoo’s trending page the one of the top listings is “Who is Prince Harry’s
Girlfriend”. As American’s being exposed
to this life style of the royals helps us become more “cultured” (Brummett,
2011).
Prince Harry is being featured on
magazines and websites due to his “serious” relationship with a girl who
reporters call “anti-Kate” (Famous Relationships. 2013). Cressida Bones is not as well now as Kate
Middleton, however, with the talks about a wedding she will soon be a very hot
topic. As expected Harry has found interest in a girl who is nothing like
Princess Kate. Cressida comes from an aristocratic family and enjoys the finer
things in life; she is always at high-class clubs living the life of the rich
and famous (Famous Relationships, 2013). However, her wardrobe suggests otherwise,
this blonde beauty is usually seen in grungy, layered clothing and never
appears to look “classy”. Personally I feel that Cressida knows that she has a
hard role to fill and a lot to be compared to, in her case it seems as if it
would be easier to be the complete opposite of the notorious Princess Kate. She was also photographed before her
relationship with Prince Harry and seems to have not changed her appearance
just because of the role she is now playing as the Prince’s girlfriend. This
could both the positive and negative. It
is good to see that she is not changing who she is just because of who she is
dating, but also for Prince Harry’s sake investing in a more classy wardrobe
would help him and her receive more positive publicity.
