Actually, it sucks that they feel they must tell the public before the news breaks or leaks. I hope for their sake, they are able to have some quiet and private moments throughout this pregnancy and in their lives in general. <br />Americans, Isn't there a fiscal cliff that needs our attention?

Now after reading your excellent article I am much better informed and am surprised at how much more important maintaining the monarchy is. However having followed political, social and economic policies and practices for many decades now that have been mostly left inspired that have brought the UK and many Western nations to their knees I foresee the same influences one day abolishing the monarchy.

I ...Ana, I have nothing but respect for the royals. I think Prince William and Kate are charming, too. They are excellent role models, not just in England but worldwide, and they’ll be wonderful, doting parents. I didn’t see that comment on Blog Catalog until you mentioned it, then I looked for it and left a congrats to the royal couple comment (as well as “liking” your comments). Frankly, I was surprised at the very negative comments there (and as an American, I’d like to apologize for any rude Americans). Yes, people should think more deeply before tossing out words like travesty, and I think you very aptly answered that with historical facts. Excellent post!

Oh how wonderful a world comprised of instant dictatorships based on radical left wing thinking and an eschewal of standards, and no stopping them, Australia is really a land of the vaguely socialised criminal, oh bless you with your sports stars, your fake Monarchy, after all I am only using your humour in the style you most admire, that of your place of socially accepted unassailability,all you Republic builders, such a demotic string of cliches you spew after all.
