But seriously, the media combo of the Cambridges and Justin Trudeau is PR dynamite for all of them. After all he is Diana's son, so he should understand the power of the media, but he also understands it allows a lot of impact for what he wants accomplished. I know theres a lot of non love for them here, but when i look at the way the current crop in charge were raised and how they mad disasters of their personal lives, I dont think just racking up a bunch of lame ribbon cuttings is the way to go.
Until such times as any future scandals arise, they SEEM to be balancing royal, working and family life and will hopefully raise much better adjusted young royals who wont have the problems their grandparents and great aunts and uncles have.
