Abbey</strong></p> <p>The Kardashians of Britain?</p> <p>In attention, maybe, says Sarah Lyall, outgoing London correspondent for the New York Times.</p> <p>But, she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour, “they're not going to go on and talk about what the labor was like and how hard it is to lose the baby weight and does Kanye want to see me breastfeeding.”</p> <p>For 17 years, Lyall has been decoding Britain for Americans. She even wrote a book about it: “The Anglo Files: A Field Guide to the British,” published in 2008.</p> <p>Obsession with the Royal Family, said Lyall, extends even the sophisticated readers of her New York Times.</p> <p>“They're obsessed with it,” she said. “It's unbelievable. It's Downton Abbey in the Royal Family.”</p> <p>Indeed the British, Lyall explained, still struggle with many of the same issues portrayed in Downton Abbey, the hit British TV show.<br/> <a

Amanpour on Wednesday.</p> <p>“It was a shock for Italy and for, of course, the public opinion,” Enrico Letta said. “You know, my choice to ask Cecile Kyenge to be minister was a choice very clear for the country. Italians have – they have to understand that the internal integration is one of the main issues for the future.”</p> <p>Letta, who spoke with Amanpour in London after a meeting with Prime Minister David Cameron, said he had asked Roberto Calderoli, the vice president of Italy’s senate, to step down.</p> <p>“It’s a shame,” Letta continued. “It’s really a shame, and I will continue to ask him to resign.”</p> <p>It’s a controversy soon into Letta’s first term. An unlikely candidate, he assumed the office in April essentially by default, after months of political deadlock.<br/> <a

female Afghan parliamentarian told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Tuesday.</p> <p>“They are preparing themselves for a new situation, post-2014,” Fawzia Koofi said from Kabul, “and perhaps to welcome Taliban and their views in terms of women’s rights in Afghanistan.”</p> <p>Koofi knows the struggles of Afghan women firsthand. When she was just a newborn baby, her parents left her out in the baking sun, torn about whether to keep a girl – thankfully, they had a change of heart.</p> <p>Her experience, in which women are treated as something less than men, is far from rare in Afghanistan.</p> <p>Take the example of Sahar Gul, forced at the age of 12 to marry an older man. She ended up in the hospital, close to death, after police found her in the cellar of her husband’s home – starved and tortured, her fingernails torn out.<br/> <a

Fuisz, CNN</strong></p> <p>Queen Elizabeth II and her cousin, Margaret Rhodes, were born just a few months apart.</p> <p>They were constant playmates, and have been close friends throughout their lives. Rhodes was there when Elizabeth was smitten with Philip, and was a bridesmaid at their wedding.</p> <p>So as Queen Elizabeth awaits the birth of her great-grandchild and the next heir to the throne, one would expect Rhodes to be unbearably excited, right?</p> <p>“Not terribly,” she told CNN’s Christiane Amanpour on Monday, exploding with laughter. “Well, you know, everybody has babies, and it’s lovely. I don’t get wildly excited about it.”</p> <p>“Really?” Amanpour asked, not even for the next heir to the throne? “History?”</p> <p>“Yes, all right, I’m prepared to be excited,” Rhodes relented with a smile.</p> <p> <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130722083849/http://amanpour.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/16/the-queens-cousin/" class="more-link">FULL POST</a></p> </div> <div class="cnnPostFooter">
