Well when the news broke out of the engagement and i accidentally read an article about it, i suddenly felt REALLY sad and i guess a bit jealous. A lot of people may have felt that way, but here's my problem, I have never paid attention to Prince William before, and sadly I didnt even know how he looked like. I only found out about him when i read the engagement article. Ever since the article i have been feeling really angry about anything that had to do with the Royal wedding. I feel like I'm going crazy since I have never even thought of such impossible thing. I have a bf too, and when i asked him about it, he said maybe he was my soulmate, which i dont believe in, since ITS CRAZY. Am I losing it or what? I really don't know and ITS BOTHERING ME!!! HELP!

She was the ordinary girl who met her Prince, fell in love and lived happily ever after.
Just get on with your own life this will pass, its just all the media attention the engagement and the wedding has had. Its ok to feel jealous, I think a lot of girls will be feeling the same.

 You'll have to clarify what is bothering you about this. People get married every day, you know...maybe we can advise if we have a better idea of what it is that makes you react the way you do. Was it the grandeur of the wedding that makes you regret you can't have a similar one? Is it that you fear never getting married at all?

 Can you explain what it is about the royal wedding that upsets you? Are you jealous that they are married (meaning you want to get married too)? Are you jealous that she has prince william now and you have a crush on him?
I cant really help unless you give more information, you have said that the royal wedding makes you sad and jealous but you have not explained why.

Do you think you may be projecting fairy-tale desires onto the wedding? I know a lot of my friends did. They stayed up all night to watch the live footage - the same friends who believe in romantic ideals.
If you think that you're waiting for "the one", then you may be feeling jealous over the fairy tale situation. Which is understandable to a degree; Kate does end up with a Prince who's supposedly pretty awesome. However she changes her entire name to suit her new title and now she'll always be living under the glass lens of the media...no privacy allowed for her.
Chances are he's not your soulmate though.

What exactly about it makes you angry or jealous? Is it about William? Or is it about Kate? Or just the picture of something that looks "perfect", that you would want for yourself but think you can't have?
If you have to spend time thinking about them and letting it drive you crazy, at least try to use that to figure those things out... they might point to things you can do to change what you're not happy about in your own life. Otherwise divert your attention elsewhere--the world is much bigger than Buckingham Palace!

Hi there,
Sounds to me like you may want the same thing for yourself.
-Not prince William, or a royal wedding for that matter!!
But a romantic love story. Ask yourself, would you be happy if your bf asked you to marry him?? Would it make you feel better?
- If so then you just envy the romantic extravegant love between the prince and kate.
There is nothing wrong with that you are just a romantic at heart probably.
