Right on Gil, William and Harry have turned out to be fine boys and I don't see any reason why this little guy shouldn't turn out just as well.
It takes a collection of palace staffs to raise a child- yeah, right...
Oh come on.... that baby will probably have more time with its mom than most 'working class' kids.
thats right, but who cares, what they do and say goes past my interest, they mean less than nothing to
me, I use them to get information, and when that happens, I again tune them out, I'm not interested in
supporting their fake attempt to get attention and dupe people into thinking that what they say is
important or meaningful.
of course the circus won't quit, and it is sad that most people follow the circus and are influenced
by their statements, as the media doesn't 'care' for people, they 'use' people for their own gain.
I use 'them' for my gain, then I drop them out of my life until I need them again, which isn't often.
The world's media, gathered outside the Lindo Wing, and millions of people around the world have been waiting for William, Catherine and the new Prince of Cambridge to exit the main doors of the Lindo Wing so the world can finally get a glimpse of the most famous baby in the world.
Earlier on in the day Catherine's hairdresser was spotted going into the hospital so it seemed that it might not be long before the three young royals leave the hospital. About an hour ago it was revealed that Catherine and William have thanked the staff at the Lindo Wing and the whole of St Mary's Hospital for the excellent care that all three of them have received. We therefore thought their long-awaited exit from the hospital was imminent. But then the press received a message saying that Catherine and the baby Prince of Cambridge - who many expect will be called George after his great-great-grandfather King George VI - will not be leaving the hospital before 6pm tonight (it's nearly 1pm now) and that it may even be tomorrow morning at the latest until we finally get to see the new heir to the Throne.
He's the heaviest future king in 100 years.
Here are some photos:

It is the first time since 1894 that Britain has had three generations of direct heirs to the Throne alive at the same time.
In around 20 minutes' time, 62 guns are to be fired from Gun Wharf at the Tower of London to honour the new future king, which will be one of many gun salutes that will be made around Britain and her Overseas Territories and the fifteen other Commonwealth Realms.

Thank God you're not in charge or else you'd force a BORING republic on us (I don't like the idea of swapping Wills and Kate and this new baby prince for President Blair) and force us to continue to wallow in the misery of global economic doom and gloom and news about the proposed new runway at Heathrow and a tobacco man's links with the Conservative Party. There'd be no way we could celebrate happy events like this which give us an extraordinary feelgood factor and an economic boost.
Thank God, too, that people like you are a minority.
So because millions of people are starving and disease-ridden it means that Britain can't have periods of national celebration?
As I said, you're one of those who want everyone to just wallow in misery and woe, aren't you?
And if we didn't have the pomp and expense how many of those kids would get well fed or cured? Anyway that's not the way to go about it.
Talking about "expense" I'm not sure who's footing the bill for all this but I imagine the citizens of Great Britain are footing most of it and they don't appear to be terribly upset about it.

Why the monarchy (sigh) still survives in Canada - The Globe and Mail
Of course, Britain has every right to celebrate. Of course, Britain should retain its monarchy as long as public opinion supports it. But, to presume the rest of the world views the British monarchy through the same lens as someone in Britain, is a little much.
