Grief-stricken over royal wedding, fans turn to Twitter
By Benjamin Timmins
ASSOCIATED PRESS
LONDON Can you tweet a
tear or post a pout?
You can, if the online reaction
to Prince William's engagement
is any guide. Hours after the
thoroughly modern prince
announced his engagement to
Kate Middleton, some of his
female admirers expressed
their grief in a thoroughly mod
ern way: They took to Facebook
and Twitter to mourn.
Social networking sites have
been alight over the news that
William, the object of female fas
cination for years, is now spoken
for. Young women worldwide
are tweeting and posting to
express their sorrow at having
missed the chance to catch a
prince.

"my prince william is getting
married," Eunice Jan Destura
mourned on Facebook. "as if
adding to injury (he) gave
(Kate) his mother's engage
ment ring!!! the one i coveted
the most"

light on something larger: Social
media now provides the well
wishers and the crestfallen alike
a platform to share how they
feel about royal events.
That's relatively new,
University of York Lecturer in
Sociology David Beer said,
because in the past the queen's
subjects might have viewed her
and her family with more awe
and distance.
It's a technological develop
ment and a cultural shift," Beer
said.
Beer said social media,
beyond allowing people to react
to the news, fosters a closer
relationship between celebrity
and commoner. "It gives the
sense that the distance between
the royal family and their people
is eroded," he said.
Ghuneim said that, with
William gone, many followers
have already settled on another
option.
- Many did realize Harry is
still out there and find some
small solace in that," he said.
- Sure, - said Kellner, as hope
ful as ever. "Harry is just as cute
as William!"
