Royalty is something that is interesting to people, including myself. I like English royal history. I watched the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge's wedding and I'm interested in this lovely baby news. It's part of history, past and present. And I like babies in general. :)M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jenamarie Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I'm really happy for them. :) I was hoping it would be a girl, with the rule change and all, but seeing as I have two sons of my own, I know they've got an exciting journey ahead of them. :) (and seeing as it's a boy, we'll hopefully also be spared from constant fashion critiques of the little princesses' clothes ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maureen Posted July 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I was also hoping for a girl, mainly because of this succession reform; but I am very happy that they have a baby boy. M. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pam Posted July 23, 2013 Report Share Posted July 23, 2013 I've seen names like George and James. I don't know why they can't break with tradition and just name it what they want with the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I like babies in general. :)M.I'm kinda a nerd, I pay more attention to the science-y news for the most part.It's not just the royalty thing I am confused about, it's all the hype about famous people in general. We all know Justen Beiber's an idiot, do we REALLY need to hear the latest stupid (often illegal) thing he and other celebrity's are doing?
