I will only be interested when the BBC roll out Lord Robert Winston.
He is the only consultant gynecologist / midwife/ fertility expert that I can respect (he brought me into this world - although he was just Dr. Robert Winston at the time).

It's a boy.
I can go to sleep now and rest easy. Bit disappointed that they didn't go with the name Earl - King Earl is apparently what she screamed during the birth.

So the Royal baby has arrives, and he came into the world just like his grandmother went out.

General US impression with the Royal British financial system is that the Monarch is an image which holds its' own wealth like what "fort knox" used to be... something on that level.
British citizens spoil the blue bloods? Your taxes support the Queen?
It seems so illegal... They are spoiled directly on your back and they are proud of it? They seriously collect everyday?
That would never fly here.
On this side of the pond, anyone in power is an incumbent (a high end slave, if you will whose income is part transparent and part creative) and has an obligation to serve those who voted their position. I guess it's that western badass mentality.
But no way is money willingly cushioning anyone in power around here. If they dare, heads spin to bananaville, sans zipcode.
If a politician has an expensive toilet on taxpayers dollars, a picture is more of a risk that driving drunk with the illegitimate child and a shovel in the trunk. I kid you not.
