Just to generalise a bit ..... there's nothing that British society likes better than being looked down upon and made to feel inadequate (hence inventing a monarchy that we can feel socially inferior to). Cue lots of media driven forelock tugging, bowing and scraping ..... all tinged with a bit of republican sentiment, and smattering of pity about the life its being born into.

Huge recession, tough times ...... lets give the masses something to feel pointlessly happy or entertained by. Anybody would think it was done on purpose

Anyway, it would be hilarious if it was half Chinese or black or something.
