7 Times The Royal Family Made Americans Fall In Love With Them

Hey, America is great. The best country in the world. America, I'mma let you finish but let's just look at the British Royal Family.

They are always in the news, somehow, someway. Whether it's a legacy of Princess Diana, Will and Kate pregnant again, or the new engagement between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle. Let's take a look back at history to see all the times where we've been swept off our feet by the Royal Family.

1. Princess Diana and Prince Charles's wedding in the '80s.

Even though this marriage ended in divorce, and the Royals basically shunning Lady D, their wedding was one for the books and for sure a party. D's dress was the best dress of that year!

2. Diana with her two sons Prince Will and Harry.

Going off number one, Diana loved her children and gave them everything. She taught them to be humble in the spotlight. Her legacy still lives on within her two sons and I think that's the most beautiful thing ever.

3. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Phillip

If you haven't watched "The Crown" on Netflix, stop what you're doing and go do it. If you're obsessed with the Royal Fam like me, then you need to watch it. I absolutely fell in love with the Queen and Phillip's love story. They are absolutely adorable and to think they are still together today... it's just magical.

4. Prince William and family

Their family is like the cover of a Hallmark card. George and Charlotte (and third baby that has no pictures yet) are the definitions of a perfect family. Will and Kate, two soulmates who are meant for each other, truly created a picture-perfect family.

5. Will and Kate

College sweethearts and now proud parents of three (maybe four) children. They've truly grown in their years together and their years apart. If you haven't read the book written by People reporters about their lives together and apart, I highly recommend you do!

6. Harry.

Before I get to his engagement, I have to devote one to just the "ginger prince" himself. He's my fav ~~ginger~~ prince around. He's humble, just like what his mother raised him to be. He's a soldier first. He cares about the world around him by working through his mother's charities in Africa and just loves spending time with his family and friends.

7. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle

A living, breathing story of Princess Diaries. I couldn't think of a better match made in heaven (other than Queen and Phillip, of course). An American being swept off her feet by the dreamy Prince Harry...it's a love story brought to life. While a quick wedding in this spring is stressful, we surely can't wait.

I'm almost expecting an invite to the wedding, because, you know, Meghan IS a Kappa...

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Waitlisted for a College Class? Here's What to Do!

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
