Critique of Hola! Documentary “Kate, la joya de la corona británica”

My opinion of the future monarch, styled her royal highness Princess Kate, or Katherine Middleton, of the United Kingdom. Is that she has almost single handedly revived the Monarchy, and the idea of the Monarchy in Great Britain.

​I disagree that the British Monarchy is some sort of imitation of the Spanish, and their Monarchy. ​If anything, they are almost completely original, in their own certitude, and devolutions, including, and especially the British. ​Princess Kate is perhaps one of the most charismatic, and important figures of the 21st century.

And for his part, William, has been someone who has been steady, and constant in his presence on the World Stage. Which for my generation, here in America, has been important for those of us whom, ​perhaps seek to do, and be the same.

Had William, and his Brother, not been as confident, and sure footed, as they have been, in the comportment, and conduct, of their domestic, private, and public life, I fear that we would’ve been left ​lacking, almost as assuredly as we were found not having done so.

​I feel like for William, someone whom has stated publicly on perhaps, too many of an occasion to sort of emulate, and discern for his own life, a sort of fairytale existence, which is usually only found in English literature. Much like Ivanhoe, and other important British Works. Even his substitution for Geography while in College, instead of Art History, at the discretion of his future Wife. So as to be better prepared for the Monarchy, has perhaps, been one of the most enduring acts for love, which I’ve ever witnessed in our modern times.

Had he, William, and his Brother, Harry, been sorely of another sort. I fear his, and our futures, would’ve been short, and very much so fairytales, indeed.

The recent Spanish Language Documentary “Kate, la joya de la corona británica”, from Hola! Which’s release, was recently broadcast on their YouTube channel, takes, I feel, far too critical an eye, on far too important a subject.

Much like the remainder of Spanish Critiques, of the British Monarchy, in Spanish Popular Media, coming out of Spain. The view of their take on British Aristocracy, and the British Monarchy, is inordinately scandalized. And Far too contextualized for a Spanish audience, due to their fairly recent history with their own monarchial scandals, and their fixation on the affairs of their heads of state.

Their self-aggrandizing, which their media, the Spanish, routinely attempts to encapsulate, is the product of the Spanish social, and societal revolutions. Whose reverberations are still felt in all facets of society to this day. Unflattering, and thoroughly objective, scurrilous in both their opinion making. As well as their portrayals.

And for these reasons, I cannot recommend the documentary, as an accurate portrayal of The Crown Princess, or her station, as a future Monarch of the United Kingdom.
