To all the Brits on this page......

[DannyV297]

I just saw a breaking news clip that you now have a new prince. Congrats. I've never understood the fascination with English Royalty (being a Yank) but I do know that it's quite a big deal. There are many things about Americans that people don't quite get! Who knows, maybe he'll grow up to be welterweight champ.

I really really think the coverage is ridiculous. So do most British people. I really care very little.
As with most things royal it is more the media inventing the interest rather than reporting the interest.

[imp]

Couldnt care less.
No offense to anyone.
People are dying and homeless on the london streets and they are paying millions on this crap.
When will all men be equal?
George orwell.

I totally disagree, I have served the queen for 10 years and plan to see out my career in my chosen profession. The royal family do a lot for this country without shouting about it. It's the horrible journalists who like to spread shit!
What other country sends their third in line (now fourth I believe) to war and still he carries this out with dignity and honour.
God save the queen and bless the new heir to the throne!

Apologies for the rant!

YOU think it's ridiculous...how do you think Americans feel? The Revolution and the Rematch in 1812 and we're fucking STILL getting bombarded with "Ooooh there's a new royal baby"....when will the Royals ever take a fucking hint. We don't care about the Queen, she's nice and all but that's YOUR deal, we don't do that, we don't care about Princess Di or the horse she married or the other inbred monsters that have been hatched over the decades...we simply don't care.

I didn't know till now, so Ty.

Hope the fucker has 9 fingers.

My girlfriend cares and she's American. She had me DVR the Royal Wedding (8 hours long). If you don't care for it then ignore it, but to speak with such disdain actually is giving it the very attention that you say you despise. I'm not too much interested in it, but I respect it's historical relevance. I just think media hijacks it a bit.

Just show a bit of respect and decency will you.
Most Brits I'm sure get pissed off with the media hype, but that's no reason to insult the monarchy.
If you think a presidential system is better, then look back to 'Saint' John Kennedy, who's father wanted America to side with the Germans in WW2, his next claim to fame was that a film actress (that he was shagging) sang 'happy birthday Mr. President' to him at a party, then you yanks went out and shot him!
Just button it with the abuse, you don't even live here!

[Saddo]

don't mind me just tiding up... keep it respectful guys.

as for the thread ... oh that's nice... didn't even know Camilla was pregnant, congrats

[Spicoli]

Well at least now we "Yanks" will be able to watch the news without Zimmermans being mentioned.

You willingly DVR'd an 8 hour wedding?

Tragic

[Britkid]

With the baby being male, hopefully we keep the Feminists on the Republic side of the debate when the sad moment comes and we lose ElizabethII.

Congratulations to the couple, I just hope we have just heard about the birth of a future elected (ceremonial) President, rather than King...

I just programmed it, I had no idea it was going to be 8 gdammmm hours long. In my defense, I only watched the actual part where they were at the altar.

No sympathy.

If a homeless man has enough about him to beg, he has enough to earn a good living. Most wouldn't have the shame to sit and beg for money rather than earn.

All men will never be equal because all men dont have the same work ethic, if they did, the heavyweight division for example would be alot more competitive and Tyson fury wouldn't be in the top 4 or 5 as he is right now

Those who are rich worked their way there, if they didn't then someone down the line in their family did, so they didn't have to. Cant begrudge someone looking after their family. Everyone has the same choices in life, work or don't work.

Another bank holiday no doubt and if you are a business owner and not in London you will lose another day for poxy royal event bank holidays. Never mind, theres another on the way for the coronation of William...

Well good on you for keeping the little lady happy......8 hours.....a WEDDING Do you? I do.Do you? I do. I now pronounce you Man & Wife....bang done-zo....8 hours...was there a Super Bowl build up and like 80 billion commercials?

First picture of the Royal Baby being held up by his father



Also this is probably the very last time Royal Family & Labor are used in the same sentence
