It's official: Kate and Williams become parents

[Skybird]

^ This. :D

Or in Dr. House's words: "You have a parasite".

This will flare some emotions around Europe, bet?!

[Betonov]

Already a third in line for the thrown, and Elizabeth II is still breathing.

This should make for a good techno thriller :arrgh!:

[Skybird]

I sometimes had the Dickian idea that Eliza 2.0 actually might be a Simulacrum. :O:

[Gerald]

^Nice,:)

[Platapus]

Well, as cold as it sounds, that was her purpose. :yep:

Best of luck to them and hope that the baby is healthy :up:

Well part of her purpose anyways. :) She still has to make sure that her offspring actually ascends the throne...

[Skybird]

It is a different than the marriage between Charles and Diana. In that case, it indeed was Diana'S purpose, love had never anything to do with it.

With Kate and Williams, it seems that is different, and has been a marriage for love indeed. The term "the princess' purpose" thus imo is not appropriate. Possible that there is a coincidence between political and private interest. But the private interest very clearly was first in this relation-forming, which was a longer process with complications that the couple had overcome by itself - not because the Staatsräson demanded it.

Oh bloody hell fire, I guess this all we are going hear in the news for the next 9 bloody months

Sure. Its called "Forum Morning Briefing". Why do you think I launched this thread? :D

Well tbh I'm impressed you beat the usual suspect :)

Good luck to them...as soon as the sixteen countries the Queen is head of state over have formally agreed, the protocol regarding who can become heir will no longer take gender into account and as such the baby will become third in line to the throne after Charles and said babies father....bumping Harry down into fourth place.

And in other news, Richard Dawkins is writing a book to:

Help youngsters look at the world in a rational, logical way

As an incredibly late response to the wicked, irrational Harry Potter books.

The Royal baby, I'm sure, will not be reading this when he/she pops out.

Looks like some Aussies are trying to have fun with Kates condition. Doesn't sound like a good thing to do though. Let the young women be.

No real harm done I suppose but it has gone down like a lead balloon in most circles.

[eddie]

Well, these two have to start looking for work. I think the magnitude of what happened has finally sunk in, but don't believe these two thought it would go that far. Bad situation all around.

The radio station has announced it is to contribute at least £320,000 to a fund for her family:

Those moderators imo are tragic, but not really "guilty". They pulled somebody's leg in a relatively harmless joke. Compared to what paparazzis do all day long, it is nothing worth to be even mentioned. When that nurse broke down over this and committed suicide (if it was like that), then there probably is some details in her background to be taken into account as well. I would not see such an extreme reaction as a normal reaction. There must be more.

Well, I do not want to raise wrong rumours, but the family would have a motive then to stick with a victimization story - even if it was not like that, but the dead nurse already had some personal troubles that made her so extremely reacting.

Again, her reaction is so absurd and out of proportion that I have a hard time to believe she was psychologically "healthy". On the photos of her that got released, she also looked extremely sad to me, like a suffering madonna.

[Jimbuna]

Well I've a plan.....Tarjak is going to ring my wife tomorrow and I'm going to convince her to do something drastic enough to make retirement on compensation really worthwhile :O:
