My post today on NBC's site LifeGoesStrong.com is called: A Letter to Kate Middleton from the Real Housewives of America. Here's the beginning:

I've read you want to be a new kind of Royal, that you and Wills are looking to break away from some of the more suffocating British traditions and break free of some of the baggage attached to Buckingham Palace. If that's true, I thought it my duty as an independent American woman and veteran of marriage and unmarriage, to offer a bit of advice from our radical marital perspective across the sea. We know a little something about breaking away.
