One down, one to go then she'll be kicked into touch. If recent history is anything to go by.

All those people sitting outside the hospital drinking champagne and not being moved on by the police must be really getting on the local tramps nerves.

Some interesting responses here. Obviously a lot of people care enough to bet on the baby's sex, name etc and to crowd around the hospital and the baby's great grandmother's house.
I wouldn't go that far, although I was slightly interested to know if we would have a future King or Queen, and interested enough to post my views on an internet forum.
It's clear in some people's eyes the Royal family can't do anything right - take the first two posts in the thread:
"It's a boy!"
"Who cares?"
Imagine if that was your kid:
"We've just had a baby boy!"
"Who cares?"
Same with the Royal wedding - a lot of people were interested enough to watch it on the telly and buy the merchandise, others seemed to think the woman should have crawled to the abbey on her hands and knees in sack cloth and ashes instead of having her dream wedding like every woman wants.

Adam to a point I agree with you, if it were my child and someone said who cares I'd be very disappointed to say the least. Also, yes a woman should be able to have the wedding of her dreams.
However, an awful lot of the costs of that wedding were paid for by us. The child will largely be paid for by us.
Never mind the fact that the family is vastly wealthy, never mind that some families are struggling to keep a roof over their heads or food in their children's stomachs. Never mind that children are dying every single day of easily preventable diseases.
Let's splash this all over the media as much as we can and tell the proles that they should be giving thanks for the birth of someone who will grow up to know and expect the best they can pay for.

Trev I don't think the monarchy cost us that much at all, especially compared with how much they bring in in tourism, which is big business in the UK. I can't imagine that many people would pay to visit royal palaces if they were turned into social housing, and I for one would much rather pay 40p a year or whatever it is for a royal family to be proud of, than for some fat slag to sit in a bigger house than I could afford, popping out unruly louts to beg smokes off me in the street.
Don't forget Prince William does work - he's a search and rescue pilot for the RAF, and the Queen is still working in her 80s when most people would be retired. Sure cutting ribbons and opening little velvet curtains (not a euphemism) isn't particularly tricky, in fact the ribbons could probably be supplied pre-cut and the brass plaques pre-unveiled, but that isn't the point - people go to see the Queen, not the little plaque.

The difference is most of us work for a living, pay taxes, look after our kids with little or no help, struggle on a daily basis and don't have a safety net of several homes, a multi million pound apartment, grace and favour cottages and lackies to wipe our orafices at our whim. They are a drain on our country, the biggest benefit claimants by far and I for one would be happy to not have them freeloading and us paying extortionate protection when they are out on their jollies. The Royal Wedding/s were the same. Many hospitals could be sustained for years if the money spent on the pomp and circumstance was channelled into a fairer pot. This is just my opinion, and I know many will disagree with me. If I were posting on Mailonline I would say the red arrow is to the right.

The tourism argument doesn't really hold water though does it? Do you think that Johnny Foreigner and his family think they're going to be taking tea and scones with them when they book their holiday here?
France was the number 1 tourist destination in Europe last year and look what they did to their royalty a couple of hundred years ago. The USA has never had a royal family and people go there in droves every year.

 

[tidyboiler]

Yup, how many tea towels can you possibly need to wipe yer engine down?

 

[Silly Sausage]

A random like there Trev for the other posts!
So Royalty tourism earns a few £Ms, whoopy do, it's bugger all in the big scheme, the UK turns over Trillions £/year.
There are goodness knows how many people earning min wage in ****ty little jobs these days (don't believe those unemployment stats for a second, that's where they've all gone) and you've these royalty ponces paraded on the media as something wonderful....
---- that!

I'd bring back Cromwell, if he wasn't such a miserable twunt!!!


And on than note, I'm off to thrash biff at chess.
