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.
If we talking about a third brat in a couple years time, I'd be worried that Kate might be viewed as little more than a baby factory, but two kids close together is hardly unusual.  Prince Charles and Princess Anne were similarly spaced.

I mean good for them and all, but who cares?  I certainly don't see why anyone in the U.S. should.

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.

LOL, what? She's 32 years old.

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.

Jesus dude they aren't the House of Saud.

And the average age of menopause is 51.

Menopause is just the point at which your body cant produce children - not the point at which its unrealistic to have them. Lurker is entirely correct to say LOL. She has 10-12 years left and about 5 with OK odds. Everything is downhill from 27 in this area and fast downhill from around 37 (to the point of falling off the cliff Wink  ).



EDIT: So according to this chart it starts sliding from the early 20s, before its going downhill for real.

It's not as if she and her hubby won't have any help in raising any lil' ones they choose to have.

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.

Maybe my sense of downhill is being skewed by the play I'm currently rehearsing, Never Too Late, but it is hardly unrealistic for one to be a mother in one's forties if one chooses to.

So if I had said 15 more years then no one would have had a problem?

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.

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.

I've always found the term "national conversation" a useless buzzword, just like "pro-active".

Don't get me wrong, I was appalled by what Rice did as well, it was just surprising that it totally overshadowed Pregnancy #2. I hate football that's why the whole incident is kind of boring.
