    Morrison's sadness over Prince William's wedding

    world entertainment news – Fri, Jan 27, 2012 18:01 GMT

    Singer James Morrison was overcome with emotion as he watched Prince William's wedding last year - because he felt "really sorry" the royal's late mum Diana, Princess Of Wales could not witness the ceremony.

    Prince William was just 15 years old when his mother died in a car crash in 1997, and he went on to give his now-bride Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge Diana's engagement ring when he proposed in 2010.

    Morrison tuned in to watch their wedding at Westminster Abbey on 29 April - and was surprised by how much the ceremony touched him.

    He tells AOL Music, "Weirdly I wasn't bothered by it a bit until I watched it on TV. I just felt really sorry for the boys, you know? Their mum wasn't there to see that day. I got really emotional for them. Those lads (William and brother Harry) are the best kind of thing about the royal family to me.

    "I didn't expect it to get to me like that. I felt like wow, he found a nice girl. She's not even from the royal family. She's from a poor background which tells a lot about his character. It was a cool day in the end."

        By "poor" he probably means "new money" as opposed to money inherited (stolen) down through the generations.

      It was a cool day. 6am. Mournful, misty clouds trailed across the rooftops of the quaint village of Bucklebury. Katherine was already up, in her threadbare skirt and shawl trying to rekindle last night's dead cinders in the hearth when Prince William turned up in the Irish State Coach. He tapped at Kate's window, a glass slipper in his hand...

      And this is because he carried Diana's coffin.
      I guess he is from a "poor" background also - or is Catherine from a poorer background??

      A poor background? Morrison must be a billionaire if he thinks Kate was ever poor.

      Define 'poor'. I didn't realise that if your parents were millionaires you were considered poor. If Catherine is poor what are the rest of us???

      The way I view this is I think of two brothers at school in the same way as any other siblings. Yes they are Royal and yes they are very privileged but so was everybody else at their school. But when they were talking about what they did at the weekend or what they were going to do in the summer hols with their mates they were still the kid in their class who knew everybody knew that they weren't going home to a mum. There are some things that money and fame can't change.

        Despite their upbringing that they were born into they do seem like good lads!

      She may be a "commoner" but she is definately not from a poor background! Her parents are millionaires!
