Wealthy British woman drops male sprog

The British Royals aren't lizards, they're werewolves. The Doctor told me so.

No, I'm pretty sure it's lizards. Stop trying to mislead innocent people with your misinformation.

Surely you meant "SILENCE! OR YOU WILL BE EXTERMINATED!", don't you?

How does that translate into USD?

30 cents. The pound is 2/3 of a dollar, for easy exhanging.

Per taxpayer? That doesn't seem right. Given that the UK's total population is just upwards of 60,000,000.

£1 = $1.50. Roughly.

Another important thing to remember is that the Monarchy is rich. So, depending on how this figure was arrived at, it could be they spend a lot more themselves.

Americans don't quite understand why the Royals matter to so many. The birth raised spirits for some. Others couldn't care less. Part of me wishes I were home with family in Toronto just to enjoy the buoyant atmosphere. The event draws us together across the miles.

And the birth was followed by terrible storms, thunder and lightning, flooding throughout the entire kingdom.

It's just over-hyped sensationalism for the depressed masses.

The crown has no real power... it has no real purpose other than the ceremonial... therefore, it's irrelevant in modern politics.

Why would someone's spirits be raised by the birth of someone they don't even know?

[Khanastan]

Raise the bunting, we have a new heir-apparent!

The weather is a bit of a shifty omen though.

Who knows?

More like 3/2.

I think he got the pound and dollar mixed around when he typed it.

I understand why many British people are excited about all of this.

But why Americans?

They just wish they hadn't fought for independence and still had a royal family of their own!

I don't see what's so great about a royal family. So the same family rules for 83926905827 years? Not that exciting.

What's the little guys name?

Because we don't really get to celebrate the Presidential baby now do we? I'm mildly interested in it although I can't say I'm jumping for joy.

Pfft. The Windsors haven't been ruling for that long.

Yeah, that was my bad. I can never remember which order they go in.

[Cadaver breadsticks]

What's the little guys name?

Hasn't been announced yet.

[Prizea]

What's the little guys name?

He doesn't have one yet (just "Baby Cambridge"). There are currently bets on what he will be called, though. Elvis seems to have particularly long odds.

Elvis - or Elfeis, or Ailbe - is a fine Celtic name, and therefore wholly appropriate for this future Prince of Wales.

I have personally seen the St. Elvis Rocks off the coast of St. Elvis Parish, in the shadow of the Preseli hills, near St. David's; a wholly appropriate location given St. Elvis baptised St. David.

And no, I'm not making this up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Elvis,_Pembrokeshire

edit: nevermind, changed my opinion

They mentioned it on CNN as having long odds. And since he isn't the Prince of Wales yet (or likely to be unless Charles dies) I don't see why he needs to have a Celtic name. They should give "Baby Cambridge" a name that fits in with his current title.
