Knowing how English kids are I could see the Royal kid being influenced by all the wrong stuff. Especially after it's going to be followed around and social networked so much.

Think of it as a Royal Honey Boo Boo. :p

To be fair, it's a major new tourist attraction so it makes sense non English people would be excited I guess

It was a revolution for us. For them, it was just another day with your teenage child. Until they realized they were too old to handle.

I have been trying not to follow it . But in the end it was impossible.

One of my friends followed the whole thing like it was important business. Odd really, because she took very little interest when one of our other friends had a baby.

The thing about that baby that should be most important to people is that it is in direct line for the throne. QE2 -> Charles -> William -> Baby. There is a fair chance that it will become king some day, but unless some weirdo offs the rest of the royal family, it would probably be some time when most of us at this forum have died already.

One of my friends was telling me that their sister had a child today. Her mum didn't show up because she didn't want to miss seeing the royal baby for the first time.

I was demote. :/

If I was that sister, I would no longer have a mother.

How is that important to anything or anyone other than the Royal Mail and the Royal Mint, who produce stamps and our currency?

*That's all they'll stock. ;)

The Royal family is a huge tourist attraction, the baby helps keep that alive and might bring more visitors.
