Wrye, if you think the British have the monopoly on 'getting off on royal stuff' you're sadly mistaken: The Dutch are proud of their royals too and being from that neck of the woods, so am I. Their wealth has been acummulated over centuries - it's not like they have stolen it during one term in office, and I prefer to spend my tax money on an institute like the royal family than on a nitwit president. The economic impact of a state visit by royalty far exceeds that of a numbskull president with his/her entourage. Vicmico
Because its all part of our History & tradition. Please don't look down your nose at it just because you don't have any. But there again if I really had to explain it, you really wouldn't understand.... So please feel free to start your pissy reply's. It was just a post to let fellow Brits know that there future King had been born. But some people on here cant seem to let anything go with out a sarky comment...
