England: It’s a Princess!
by admin on May.02, 2015, under Favorites
I don’t care what anyone else thinks about England’s royal family, but I am sure up for some good news and this morning there (finally) was some…William and Catherine now have a daughter. And mother and baby are apparently well.
At the same time it is sad to think that Diana didn’t live long enough to see her son William married to a person who obviously makes him happy and who has now given him two healthy children.
Yes, they live a sort of fairy tale, unreal existence and yes, some in England think the monarchy doesn’t actually do enough to warrant their position and entitlements. But at the same time, there is a consistency provided to England by the knowledge that their queen has now “been there” for them – for over 60 years. It will probably be that many did not truly appreciate how rare this was – until she is gone.
We don’t have royalty in the US – although some misguided people seem to THINK they are royalty. While I don’t want that for the US, I can see the importance to the people of the United Kingdom and be thrilled along with them that the person who will probably be their future king is in a happy marriage and is building a great little family of his own.
As a side note – for those who are inclined, the Kentucky Derby is being run later today. I’ve made MY pick – even with his rather long odds – of “Far Right.” Even if he doesn’t win, that’s a name I can get behind!!!
Happy Saturday!!
