Another American is a member of royalty now

And I can't help but think that a girl in America growing up today is statistically more likely to become a member of some royal family, than President. At least based on history.

So while I hope the newlyweds a long and loving life together, it's not contradictory that I hope to live to see that statistic flipped

I didn't pick up on the title. No slight intended and I think the point remains. It still strikes me that we've got work to do to get to where a woman is at least as likely to be President as royalty

but she's now a member of the royal family, and married to a prince - so I'm sure that she is considered "royalty."
