    Re: Congratulations...

    And congratulations to the many, many other parents in this country (and the world) who also brought a child into the world but didn't get insane worldwide media coverage

    But to Will and Kate too - not easy being the focus of that much media attention AND having a baby.

    Congratulations to them

    Although, it seems that other countries are more interested in the royal baby than us Brits
    Politics is were the working man pays his hard earned money to a group of clueless people to make suspect decisions.

    Naming new Royals ? I'm hoping for a return to our earlier Kings. Eorpwald or Sigeberht
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    I'm pleased for them both, as I remember how amazing it was for the wife and I when our son was born. But I still struggle to get excited about anyone else's offspring, even if they're from royal stock.
