THE ROYAL WEDDINGBY DASSA, ELIANE, HARLEY,
OLIV IA , KARLA , LARA AND JORDAN
A QUICK HISTORY !
WHAT HAVE WE BEEN DOING?
We have been looking at different views from
different age groups on the Wedding of Kate
Middleton and Prince William.
We have done various interviews from an old age
home, and students and staff from our school.
THE ELDERLY
JCOSS MEETS BET TY
We visited Hadley Lawns old people’s home and this is what we discovered.
Our first interview was very exciting because we interviewed a lady called
‘Betty,’ who is 90 years old. As she was partially blind so she was unable
to see how pretty Kate was, but she believed that Prince William getting
married is a good thing and he will be a good King. Then as she was talking
the exciting part came when she let slip that she was originally in the same
Auxiliary Territorial Service as Queen, Elizabeth in the Second World War!
We couldn’t believe our luck – what a story! After that she said, “I am sure
that Kate Middleton and Prince William are right for each other,” but she
also said that she isn't hugely excited about the big day.
MAGGIE AND ANDREW
We then interviewed Maggie who is 79 years old. She said, “ I am pleased that
William and Kate are getting married, but I do think that Kate may require
some training to follow in the current Queen’s footsteps”. She thought that the
couple are perfect for each other and will have a long lasting relationship.
Then we interviewed 82 year old, Andrew. Andrew has no objections towards
Kate or the Royal Wedding and said, “There is no reason why she can’t follow in
the Queen’s footsteps”. He is also hopeful that they are right for each other and
that they will have a long lasting relationship. He doesn’t think that Harry does
want to be King and that he isn’t jealous of his brother at all.
THE ADULTS
MADAME FRENCH
Then we interviewed some adults, to get their point of view on
the wedding.
First we interviewed our teacher, Miss Kemp. She thought that
it will be a fantastic celebration day and is glad that Prince
William and Kate are getting married. She also said,“Kate will
have the same calmness as the current Queen but Kate will be
more modern”. She believes that they are perfect for each other,
as they have been together for a long time. She is also very
excited to get a day off work!
THE HEADMASTER’S PA
We then interviewed the PA to the headmaster of
our school (Mrs Buckwell), she believed that it was
super that Prince William and Kate are getting
married and she is very pleased for them. She said
that Kate will strive in the same footsteps as Queen
Elizabeth, but she won’t be Queen. Prince Harry, in
her opinion, probably doesn’t mind that he won’t be
King and is happy for his brother.
MITMAN’S MIND
Our third interview for the middle-age group is our P.E
teacher, Mr Mitman. He said,“ It will be difficult for Kate to
follow in the same footsteps as the current queen Elizabeth”. He
hopes that William and Kate will have a long lasting
relationship. He is not very exited about the wedding yet, but he
thinks nearer the time he will. He feels that Prince Harry
wanted to be King because if you have a chance, everyone
wants to be King. He commented, “Prince Harry is a bit jealous
of his big brother”.
THE SCHOOL CHILDREN
WHAT THE YOUTH THINK?
Next we moved onto the younger generation and we asked questions about
the wedding to some pupils in our school. Amy said, “They are a really good
couple, because they are both really nice people, also we get to miss a whole
day off school on the day of the wedding”. She said, “Kate will follow in her
footsteps and that she will be a good Queen, like Elizabeth, because Kate is
a lovely, kind person and she seems like she will be a marvellous Queen for
the next generations”. She is excited because lots of people from other
countries and other parts of the UK are coming to London just for the
wedding. She also thinks that William is slightly jealous of his brother,
because he has lots of power but not the responsibility of being King.
THE YOUNGER GENERATION’S V IEWS
Daniel said, “I feel happy for the couple and they are well known so
there will be lots of paparazzi”. He said that Kate won’t follow in Queen
Elizabeth’s footsteps because she’s young and is from a more modern
generation”. He continues, “They are a good couple, and if they didn’t
love each other they wouldn’t be in a relationship and it is exciting
because we get to miss a day of school!”. He thinks that Prince Harry
wants to be King and he believes that this is an example of sibling rivalry,
and this will cause large corruption in the royal family. He also said that
Prince Harry probably isn’t jealous because Harry already has a
girlfriend, but he is probably not ready, or does not want to get married.
THE SCHOOL KIDS
Leo from JCoSS said, “ I think that the Prince and Kate are good for
each other and I have nothing against it.” He doesn’t think that she’ll be
like the Queen because she is much younger and is more of a digital-
native and knows more about life today. “In my opinion, they will probably
last for long and they love each other a lot, however, will try and have to
keep the paparazzi happy.” He is also very excited about the day off
school and also loves people getting married! “I sadly think that William
and Harry may form a rivalry because Harry might want the throne, but I
do not think he’ll be jealous of his brother because he is happy not being
married and he’s still young.”
SO, ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT THE ROYAL
WEDDING?
