Kate Middleton pregnant with baby #2

[MASHED POTATOES. VOTE!]

What's the big deal? Getting pregnant is basically the only thing the royal consorts are for.

[King]

If they name him Scott, will it save the Union?

[Sol]

Not a fan of the monarchy but babies are cute.

I hope for the kid's sake it's not a girl. I can only imagine the media's "Our lwittle pwincess!!!" stories ugh.

[Mr. Morden]

As Al has correctly pointed out, as can be seen from his doltish gawp the current royal baby is clearly not a bright child (the result of generations of inbreeding on the father's side, obviously), so perhaps they're hoping for better results this time around.

Either way, awful news. The royals evidently breed like rabbits, which, like said pest, makes them more difficult to exterminate.

Oakvale, this is just a baby...

Yes?

So you don't believe you're a little extreme by saying "makes them more difficult to exterminate"?...

It's an indifference to human life that is the natural consequence of advocating for everyone to be banned.

It's very disappointing that we allow this sort of filth to be posted on our forum. Shameful.

Oakvale's IP address is being forwarded to MI5 for further investigation as I type this.

I wonder if his BBC colleagues laugh at Nicholas Witchell ("Senior Royal Correspondent"). While they're out covering real stories, sometimes putting their lives on the line, he's reporting about morning sickness.

[BaconBacon96]

Meh. Republics are better.

[Fmr President & Senator Polnut]

I'm not a hardcore Republican (in the Australian context) but I don't get why this is an issue, either way.

Great news! another offspring to a dynasty of inbreed Germans who will do naught and live off the people while getting honour and positions simply for being dumped out of the right uterus.
I hope that by the time his brother would need to take the throne there will be a large popular republican movement in the UK.

I do find it ever so amusing when certain leftists turn into racial blood purists when it comes to the Royal family . Although, mind you, nowadays the German connection is increasingly remote (Prince Philip's mother was German, and the Queen's grandmother also was, although she was raised in Britain).

[Silent Hunter]

You do know that's the Queen of Denmark?

[politicus]

Don't mess with Daisy!

In that case they're idiots, he get a well paid job with little risk, low risk of making enemies and which make him a household name across a nation (which are the thing all journalist really want more than anything else).

You mean journalists aren't all interested in only a never-ending battle for truth, justice, and the American way?

I'm a Republican, but if forced to choose, I'd take Scandinavian-style monarchies over a bunch of clowns occupying the Buckingham Palace any day.

I'm well aware, but monarchist is monarchist, regardless.

Its terrible that the Royal baby news was completely overshadowed by the video of a football player knocking his girlfriend out and dragging her out of the elevator like a caveman.

In 5 or 20 years no one will remember the creep and his biz-nitch but the unborn baby will be in the news all the time. I'm serious, there has been Zero news coverage on American TV about this (at least that I've seen).

I wonder if its less of a story this time because this baby is the proverbial "spare" and therefore not as buzzworthy.

P.S.: Why are they cramming the pregnancies so close together? Prince George and his sibling will only be about 20 months apart. Kate has another 20 years in which to have children.

First of all, I have more of a chance of getting with Abby Huntsman than this kid has getting the throne. I don't see why we should be as interested here as we were for Prince George, which was actually news.

There shouldn't be

I can understand some of our posters being averse to the guillotine imagery being posted in this thread. After all, England has a perfectly good alternative to the guillotine pioneered in the days when it decided that monarchy wasn't such a great idea after all -- before the counterrevolution and the restoration of monarchy in all-but name under Cromwell, of course.

Is there some arcane limitation on collateral succession here? Or has she expressed interest?

I, too, am disappointed that a serious national conversation about the NFL's shocking tolerance for domestic violence was not overshadowed by the personal life of a ceremonial figurehead of another country.
