How excited are you for the Royal Baby BOY ?

I'm excited. I love babies. Apparently Mary or Alice are popular for a girl, I dislike both names.

Anyone who's actually excited for this should re-evaluate their priorities. We'll be getting 'Woman has baby' articles for months now. No doubt whatever they clothe their child in well sell out (Why did people want to make their daughters wear the same cardigan as Charlotte, it's a ridiculous thing to do?) and people will be swooning over a baby they've never met and are never going to meet in their lives. It's another person we'll be supporting (at least she won't be getting child benefit for it as this is her third child). The whole notion is barmy and it's time as a country we stopped publicising things like this so heavily. You'd think there was nothing else going in in the world by seeing how much media attention this pointless family gets.

Being excited doesn't mean it's a priority. Hardly a pointless family. Not like it's Linda from Bolton having her 5th kid is it?

If it's a boy, 'Eagle', if it's a girl, 'Cherry'.

Do I care? No. It's another baby. We'll get the announcement later. We'll get a name shortly after. Summer photo. Christmas photo. Then a few more before they start in a private school and boast about their grades on TSR.

It pretty much is that, it's Kate from Reading having her third kid. Considering her parents are multimillionaires we shouldn't be funding her family's lifestyle. Being excited and it being a priority is the case for thousands of people across the country, you just have to look at the people who went to their wedding who camped out for ages, bought loads of merchandise and were so "happy and made up" for them among many other things. The amount of media coverage this family gets, especially as top stories of the day across many major news outlets, would make people think there's nothing more important going on in the world.

Ha no it's the Duchess of Cambridge having the 5th in line to the throne. I agree though that camping out etc is excessive and weird but just checking the news every now and then for an update isn't excessive or weird. I also agree we shouldn't be funding her parents or sister though.
