I agree completely. It is a happy occasion, and it's part of their history and heritage, not ours.

Being happy for them does not mean we still wish to be part of their commonwealth.

It just means we're happy for the new family!

Well, ya know, if you can't... TreasonousBastard Jul 2013 #3

Well, it was the BBC! femmocrat Jul 2013 #12

Of course the BBC would revel in the kinglet... TreasonousBastard Jul 2013 #18

I don't know. I just like William and Kate. ananda Jul 2013 #5

Same here. femmocrat Jul 2013 #10

How about Arthur for a name? ananda Jul 2013 #6

That's a good one! femmocrat Jul 2013 #8

I heard on TV somewhere that this is the first time that four femmocrat Jul 2013 #23

Not the first, second sarge43 Jul 2013 #46

I see it just like anything else, especially on the internet... Phentex Jul 2013 #7

LOL Isn't that the truth! femmocrat Jul 2013 #9

I see a difference in the reactions to the royal babe verses North West. Denninmi Jul 2013 #11

Oh sure. It is a world of difference from those celebrities. femmocrat Jul 2013 #14

Agreed 100%. Myrina Jul 2013 #13

Exactly! femmocrat Jul 2013 #16

OK. I'll be the curmudgeon. HERVEPA Jul 2013 #15

Because it's my post. femmocrat Jul 2013 #17

It being your post doesn't let you decide who can post in it, or what they post. Have a nice day. HERVEPA Jul 2013 #20

And did you have any trouble posting? femmocrat Jul 2013 #21

No trouble posting, but thanks for asking? HERVEPA Jul 2013 #24

Same basic sentiment pipi_k Jul 2013 #45

There is so much nastiness and bad news HappyMe Jul 2013 #22

People posting snark doesn't mean they're miserable. HERVEPA Jul 2013 #25

Then why bother to post about it at all. HappyMe Jul 2013 #26

To each his or her own. I objected to the original poster trying to control her thread. HERVEPA Jul 2013 #27

And we could ask the same of you: Why not go right past? CaliforniaPeggy Jul 2013 #28

And one could ask the same of you concerning your comment I'm responding to. HERVEPA Jul 2013 #29

That's pretty obvious. likesmountains 52 Jul 2013 #38

It's just that some of us don't care and find this more of a media event Taverner Jul 2013 #32

Good! kiva Jul 2013 #40

I usually don't get worked up about this sort of thing, but I am genuinely enjoying it. Avalux Jul 2013 #42

I think it's great and here's why... LeftofObama Jul 2013 #44

Forget it... pipi_k Jul 2013 #47

I've already introduced a Royal Baby pun - enjoy! derby378 Jul 2013 #48

I don't get it either. Babies are...US! Without babies there'd be no US, and I like us! nolabear Jul 2013 #49

I may find the whole idea of royalty kind of dumb (and undemocratic) but nothing against these two. nomorenomore08 Jul 2013 #50

Unfortunately RobinA Jul 2013 #54

Agreed. magical thyme Jul 2013 #55
