Bang on! We don't need more royals, it's not the Middle Ages. Lets Hope this sprog never makes it to the thrown and that we have a president by then.
Role on the republic
Maybe I'm mis-informed, but I thought all of Britain loved the royals.
Breaking News: It's a boy.
Apparently, it was born at 4:24pm GMT, about 4 hours before the news broke.

Congratulations to the royal couple! I hope they raise him to be a wise, intelligent, ethical man, who treats others with kindness and compassion.
I wonder how they managed to keep it quiet.

Why would we need a President? Why get rid of one set of no-marks to replace with another? That 'billions in revenue has always been suspect' and at best is an argument for keeping Brenda and maybe a couple of the top spongers on the public teat and fuck the rest.
They're saying that this boy could be the first reigning monarch of the 22nd century. Boggles the mind.
Of course, with advances in medicine and whatnot, that role could remain with Wills.

I'm partial to the Earl of Scruggs and the Duke of Ellington.Duke of Earl isn't a thing?
Didn't you Brits try getting rid of the monarchy back around the middle of the 17th century? I hear it didn't work out too well.
Can make some money by kicking the queen off the public's land.
And it's a boy... wow! The kingdom will live on now!
Yeah, America went with a President and look how that colony worked out...

Yes the period known as the Interregnum. But the Cromwells, who ruled during that period were somewhat dictatorial.
You can do away with them like Russia did with the Romanovs and benefit from the tourism while not having to pay for their exorbitant living expenses.
Before William got his Dukedom, he was called William Wales when a last name was required. Then he became William Cambridge.
Pretty much follows what we see in Shakespeare, where people were called by their title (e.g., Richard the Third was called Gloucester but managed to shirk out of "G's gonna kill you" by blaming it on his brother George, Duke of Clarence, who was usually called just "Clarence.")
Didn't the navy used to do something similar? That a ship's commanding officer was sometimes called the name of the ship?
Bets on what? The baby's sex? Its size and weight? Or whether it will be a normal baby or . . . THE SPAWN OF SATAN!
Congratulations on the birth of your lizard!
