Hope everything is well with Will and Kate and that everything goes well with their new baby.

It would be fitting to call the new princess "Diana" but it won't happen, it would upset too many in the

palace including the delectable (yes I'm being sarcastic) Camilla. My guess is that "Diana" will be in there

somewhere among all the other names.


How sad that Diana herself is not here to enjoy all this and dote on the granddaughter she would have

adored, she always wanted a girl herself.

Hope the baby and family live a long and healthy life, but am I the only one that doesn't really care or get the whole royalty thing? It has absolutely no impact on my life or my walk as Christian, so I don't understand the hooplah of a family from a different country that I will never meet or will never impact my life in a significant way.

Well no but then you aren't British, of course you don't care. Can't say they impact my life either but it is nice to see a princess-of-birth born, the first in 180yrs.

In some parts of the world a baby girl is considered worthless so this is worth celebrating. Just my opinion for what it's worth..

Lol, I get your sentiment, but hey good news is better than bad news. It has been a pretty bad news week so a little bit of good news is a good break from all the bad even if it is across The Pond.

The birth of the princess is certainly worth celebrating.

Monarchies are a relic of a different time and place, but that is what makes them nice. A family held up by the democracy of the dead is special in its own right during these dark times of revolutions and counter-revolutions.

We Americans are paradoxical beasts. We tossed the British Crown into the Atlantic only to become one of history's greatest ally to monarchies (with a few exceptions). I guess at the end of the day whatever affection I feel for the Crown is kin to the far deeper affection I feel for my homeland's deep tradition of republicanism.

My prayer is that she will grow up to be a force for good like so many female leaders of the United Kingdom and her constituent nations. May she ward off the Roman Legions, Spanish Armadas, Kaisers, Jacobins, Fascists, Communists, Irish terrorists and Argentine belligerents of her time should she sit on the Stone of Scone.

TBH I'd prefer us to be a republic lol. I don't have much time for the royals - only Diana's kids and of course William is one of Diana's.

I never said or implied it was. I just don't understand why so many people obsess over a royal family that has nothing to do with us. Sure you can say the same thing about sports, music, and so forth. That happens day in and day out. But with royalty comes power, and too much power never is a good thing.

They have no power - none whatsoever, they are merely public figures. We keep them for good reason, they are a pull for tourists not least American tourists. LOL

The emboldened text would certainly imply that your standard of value for this event is based on how it affects (or rather doesn't affect) you personally, not other peoples or institutions.

But I get it. Sometimes we imply things we don't mean to imply. I do it more often than I would like to, hahaha.

It is in Great Britain. Besides, nice to have good news alongside the usually murder, mayhem, rape, and scandal.

BTW, her royal highness is named "Charlotte Elizabeth Diane." Very nice.

What would we do without our royals... :rolleyes:

(no photoshop, our king is an excellent toilet bowl thrower)
