I believe the vast majority of people are happy with the birth of our future King but are fed up with the extensive media coverage prior and just after the birth, at least that is how the three of us in this household feels.

"for you poor souls who have no pride"....
I have enough pride not to recognise the Windsor family as my head in ANYTHING.
They shouldn't call themselves the head of everyone and everything in Britain, because the bigger the pretense, all the bigger the humiliation!

Woe, woe, whoa...
Is there ever a more regal realm
than the kingdom of we beasts
where the fittest is e'er at the helm
and each upon another feasts
as we tread behind the ancients
and from fauna take our cue
ever envious of those Appians
we seek to do just as bees do
and ever on we labour
and toil to fill the maw
and self-denial harbour
and be blind to any flaw
yet are we not nature's master
does mankind not wear a crown
is not the scope of all far vaster
is the future not all-ours to own
we take an unwritten constitutional
when conditioned to forever treat
this commonplace, yet not so natural
pallid projection of an hereditary elite
BTW
[alas, where in the scheme of things
within this woman's world
queens have little need of kings
a womb's the only mould
they learned spider-widow's cure
that when the deed is done
to dine upon the sire, once sure
that the oven is with bun]

Jan - your post # 41...
Well said. I wish William & Kate well, but I don't need wall to wall coverage of the birth of a baby. Overkill.

Exactly Andy.
Note to HMG, it's a good day to bury bad news.

I predict this baby will never be king
The changing face of Briton over the next 50 years will probably have no desire for old British type royalty.

he is only 3rd in line anyway, more importantly posh barry has now been pushed back to 38th in line now.
unless there are a series of messy accidents and unexplained fatalities he will never rule.
has anyone seen that film "kind hearts and coronets"?

Indian mystics predict elected role for royal baby
"Britain's royal baby may be "born to rule" as third in line to the throne, but Indian mystics Tuesday made the intriguing prediction that the new prince will one day stand for elected office.
Taking his date, time and place of birth -- 4:24 pm in London on Monday -- two stargazers in Mumbai have separately charted a much more politically active destiny than that of recent British monarchs, whose job is largely ceremonial.
"Maximum by 2044 he may make politics a career and start contesting elections," said astrologer Raj Kumar Sharma. "I'm seeing very strong changes in the monarchy," he said..."

just shows who reads the forum, alex must have made a big impression on the royal couple.
at one stage i was expecting to see his head on a spike outside the "tower of london".
