I don't think I will live to see this child as monarch. It would mean outliving William and while I'm five years younger than him I don't have dieticians, personal trainers, queless healthcare etc. He's probably not as reckless on a mountain bike either.

its doubtful many alive today will see the child as monarch either. Considering it wouldn't happen till William kicks the bucket and that won't be for a while yet. Lets just hope the Queen skips grandpa and hands the Crown directly to William.

In October 2011, Commonwealth leaders agreed to change succession laws so that the daughter of any future UK monarch will have equal right to the throne as a son.
I found this interesting, you'd think that would have been altered long ago after some of the hard core Queens England has had over the centuries.
Any one, congrats to Willy and Kate on their forth coming nipper. Good for them, terrible for us on either side of the pond. Goddess forsake we're gonna hear EVERYTHING about this pregnancy, and everything about the kid once it's born. We thought the bloody wedding coverage was bad....

Disagree, it's worse. At least Snooki and Bieber earned their (in)famous status.
It absolutely boggles my mind that some of my British cousins will bang on about the "bloody cradle to grave benefits spongers"in one breath, and extol the virtues of the Royals in the next.

Yeah, that's the cool part of all of this. Also that whether it's a boy or a girl, they'll be the first monarch of England that is allowed to marry a Catholic.

It was actually put into force after James II, Britain's last Catholic monarch, was deposed. 300 years ago.
