I've been thinking long and hard about the upcoming trip Down Under. I don't think it will likely go as planned. Last time it was all about how they out did everyone - even his father and mother in that place. The numbers were off the charts (not really - compare to the Pope and so on). This is where the idea that they could outshine the Family and so the Family was in fear of their power, awe and draw seems to have originated. Back then, they were the new, shiny and she's pregnant. Now, things have changed. Life has moved on. They would no longer be there on a British Royal Tour. William and Catherine, would be. Big difference. I think a couple things. One is that the numbers of people out to look/greet them will be much lower all the way around for the Duo. Not official so less flashy, probably not likely to do as well as last time when they were unknown AND not as great as for William and Cathe...
