i love all of the pictures, the little guy is so cute, definitely has his own look, and seems like
he will be a handsome fellow as he grows up.
they all seem to be enjoying themselves, and i'm sure the people of australia are happy to have them.
its nice that they are visiting, and as mowich said, i'm sure they are excited to go on such a
big trip, quite a holiday.

Why? I'm sure they're very nice and intelligent people and deserve the routine respect due to any stranger, until they prove themselves unworthy of it, but being "people like these" has nothing to do with it. Being royalty just means they're descended from the more successful thugs and thieves of a millenium or so ago. Respect has to be earned, it's not automatic based on heredity, parentage isn't a qualification for anything useful.
You must have missed the memo. There are no British colonies in North America anymore.
The same as thousands of other people such as ones living right in my own neighbourhood. As Dexter said they are probably nice people but there's nothing particularly special about them.
Prove it.
As I always like to say in such situations - point out the inaccuracies in the whacky post I made.
Shouldn't be too difficult if you're right.
That guillotine was in Paris, not the colonies.
Apart from the fact that they are royals who will one day be kings and a queen.
Other than that, you're right.
They're in New Zealand.
Come on. Stop all this PC nonsense. You know as well as I do that that's not true.
The post I was responding to was about "Royalty"- nothing to do with the "colonies". Try to keep up!
We don't have P.C.s here anymore, they are just Conservatives!
Michael Collins was an Irish revolutionary. Another Michael Collins was an American astronaut.
And Michael Collins' death remains an unsolved mystery. I wonder if Michael Collins' death will be the same.

The Duchess of Cambridge has heard from a six-year-old girl whose mother has terminal cancer.
Catherine met Bailey Rupe at a children's hospice on the latest leg of the royal tour of New Zealand.
The Duchess, who is a patron of East Anglia's Children's Hospice back in the UK, was met by more than 40 children and their families at Rainbow Place in Hamilton.
"There should be more places like this," AFP quoted her as saying of the facility, which provides support for children affected by serious illness.
It was the duchess's first solo engagement on the 19-day tour which will also take in Australia.
Prince William, meanwhile, was shown around Pacific Aerospace, an aviation firm in Hamilton.
He was told about the P-750, an innovative light aircraft made at the plant.
"He talked about his friendly brotherly rivalry, with Harry flying Apaches and he's been flying search and rescue," the company's chief executive Damian Camp told reporters.
"He said he still does some flying - all helicopter based - but not as much as he wants to."
The couple then reconvened in the nearby and amptly-named town of Cambridge, where they were greeted by hundreds of Union flag-waving well-wishers. There were one or two republican numpties waving badly-spelled placards at the royal couple but, thankfully, their protests were almost completely drowned out by the well-wishers.
The royal tour of New Zealand has so far seen the royals race yachts, attend a state reception and visit a parent and baby class with Prince George before they head to Australia later this month.

The Duchess of Cambridge has heard from a six-year-old girl whose mother has terminal cancer.
Catherine met Bailey Rupe at a children's hospice on the latest leg of the royal tour of New Zealand.
She was met by more than 40 children and their families at Rainbow Place in Hamilton.
"There should be more places like this," AFP quoted her as saying of the facility, which provides support for children affected by serious illness.

Children at the hospice explained how the facilities help them express their feelings

She met youngsters and parents and had a briefing with the hospice's chief executive before going to a Mad Hatter's themed tea party.
Six-year-old Bailey, whose mother was given six weeks to live, showed the duchess how she uses puppets to express how she feels about her mother's illness.
"Are you having tea? Can I sit with you? How is mummy doing?" Catherine asked her.
"Do you find it difficult sometimes? Yes, I'm sure you do, but you're a very brave little girl."
Bailey said afterwards: "I was excited to meet a real princess and it made me feel like a princess for the day too."
The duchess met children of all ages during her visit
Prince William, meanwhile, was shown around Pacific Aerospace, an aviation firm in Hamilton.

"He talked about his friendly brotherly rivalry, with Harry flying Apaches and he's been flying search and rescue," the company's chief executive Damian Camp told reporters.
"He said he still does some flying - all helicopter based - but not as much as he wants to."
William spent more than seven years in the military and was presented with his RAF wings in 2008.
Mr Camp added: "He said George has settled into a nice routine but was keeping mum and dad on their toes but they're all enjoying their stay."
Prince William was joined by Catherine on a walkabout
The couple reconvened in the nearby town of Cambridge where thousands of well-wishers lined the streets to greet them.

Although there was at least one person who did not share their enthusiasm
They opened a new velodrome in the town and met some of New Zealand's cycling, rowing and canoeing elite.
And they were handed a tiny cycling jersey in the country's colours (black and white) for Prince George, who was not with his parents for this leg of the tour.
The tour is the first official visit for eight-month-old George
The tour has seen the royals race yachts, attend a state reception and visit a parent and baby class with Prince George in New Zealand before they head to Australia later this month.
The trip is due to end on 25 April in Canberra.

Looks like an excellent venue for a photo op. I have about 300 photos of my grand kids and I'm sure many others have the same. Feel free to post.
O.F.F.S. simmer down, Gerry, and go take a f**king pill- it takes stupidity to recognize stupidity!
Maybe because I'm looking for something to complain about! Anyway F**K off, Gerry, and take another pill!

Spoken by the same guy who has been known to address ladies on the forum as "stupid tw8ts". -
Take a nap, Gerry!
