I like what she said about Italians not being too picky. That made me laugh.

Too many Americans don't understand the importance of most things as evidenced by the last election.

Americans may not have a sense of tradition, but there was a great tradition of upper class Brits marrying new American money. Good thing, too...it literally brought in some much needed spondoola as well as fresh DNA.

Marrying rich Americans wasn't a tradition. It was a moment in time. It was a financial necessity ( that served both sides!), and allowed the British aristocracy to maintain their generations of traditions.
