William and Kate, Beatrice and Eugenie. Coincidence?

My dear friend Suzanne from Toronto forwarded me
these photos. How did this happen?
How very amazing.
Just too, too funny!
They said it was a true Cinderella story!
I guess they weren't kidding!

    I saw it on fb too, but laugh each time I've seen it.

    The "sisters" are just a total crack up.

    Pretty amazing how close those photos are.

    I have to admit, I a Disney Fan, and Cinderella is one of my all time favorites. Snow White is too.

    I do like this. I was told that the guests were given instructions in what to wear and yellow would be off limits because that is what the Queen was wearing. I wonder if Andrew's kids thought all of that too much and decided to be a little silly.

    haha never saw that before
    Looks like they really went all Cinderella with their lore
    You'd think they'd want to steer clear of that
    But I guess they want people to chat
    Being status symbols and all
    So maybe someone made that call
    But weird it truly is
    Bah just screw the wedding biz
    Costs to friggin much
    So just elope and spend a touch..lol

    Pat ~

    You'd just want to elope
    to escape the handshaking with all the blokes
    Who attended your wedding!
    So, who are you kidding
    Saying it's the money that's annoying
    When it's really germs you're avoiding?
    lol... oh that one cracked me up, Pat! hahaha

    I too, saw this on FB...and laughed my arse off. (Even if the cartoons were photoshopped to match the royal wedding party). The ugly step-sisters and Beatrice & Eugenie comparison is priceless!!!

    Actually, it's not a coincidence, it's a hoax. The original scenes from Cinderella were Photoshopped to match the actual royal wedding costumes; even the hair of the cartoon characters was recolored to match the principal players. You can read all about it here.

    Always remember, especially on forwarded emails, if it sounds too good to be true, it is.

    Betsy,
    Those pictures of the wedding and Cinderella are too funny. I would have never thought to connect the pictures. I'm so sorry for the dove's demise. I just love doves in the yard and to hear them. Your crabapple picture is beautiful. You are a good photographer.

    Oh man, I don't do Facebook so this is the first I've seen this comparison. Photoshopped or not, now I feel a bit less guilty for immediately thinking of Cinder's sisters the moment I first saw poor Beatrice and Eugenie at the wedding. Sweet princesses just need a little coaching...they do have lovely rosey English complexions, however. :)

    OMG, how funny!

    I knew I wouldn't get up in time to watch the royal wedding so I dvr'd it. I was just thinking this morning that I should really watch it. Haven't yet but now I'm thinking I really need to.
