“Myself, I wish her well and also wish I could whisper to her: If you really love him, honey, get him out of there, and yourself, too.

Do yourself a favor and save what you can: Leave the throne to the awful next incumbent that the hereditary principle has mandated for it.”—Christopher Hitchens, "Beware the In-Laws: Does Kate Middleton Really Want to Marry Into a Family Like This?”, Slate, April 18, 2011
