I know you weren't. What I meant is that the public's interest in them is, to a significant extent, media-driven.

[MTVN]

Or is the media interest public driven? Look at the thousands of people who turned up at the various jubilee events last year, support for a republic has never been so low in recent decades as it is now

[CaudleHalbard]

In the year Diana died the monarchy was so unpopular, people were saying it wouldn't last beyond the current monarch.

They have made an amazing recovery from that. The media has played its part.

[Jesus.]

Pure speculation on my part, but couldn't that be linked to the financial state of the country? Just as the nationalistic right always does well in times of hardship, maybe patriotism also does well?

I'd prefer a republic, and just as an impotent monarchy is better than a ruling one, no monarchy is better than an impotent one.

I wouldn't underestimate the influence of the queen on prime ministers who have had to go and explain themselves to her every Tuesday........ for the last 60 years! ;)

She had a wealth of experience and, from what I have read, these meetings are not just a formality. She is obliged to remain politically neutral, which no politician ever is.

Logically there is no justification for people holding positions by reason of birth. But it happens in many spheres of life, including business. The system works, which is why there is little appetite for changing it.

Well I'd say it's a bit different, it could be linked to it but only really in that Royal events provide a welcome distraction in the same way that things like major sporting events do, whereas the nationalist right makes gain because of disillusion with conventional politics and people looking for alternative governance

Yeah, you could be right. I suppose from my own biased republican ideals, I just find it difficult to understand why anyone would be a monarchist.

The nationalistic right also makes gains by separating groups and denigrating "the other" in society. My point was more linked to the queen/royal family being a symbolic figurehead for people to rail behind that is more of a subtle nationalism.

I think it's pure speculation on my part though, and as you said republicanism had been declining for decades, that sort of pisses on my chips.

[Lee.]

Ultimately the queen can veto legislation.

The power may not have been used in 300 years but it is still there and is a safeguard against a government which decides to act despotically because it had a majority in parliament, despite only getting 35-40% of the vote. The existence of the power is more important than the exercise of it.

For now, anyway, we are happy for a monarch to have that ultimate power. Things may change in the future and we may want to give the power of veto to a politician. I don't see that happening any time soon.

I find the idea that the queen of all people needs a veto to be laughable. The monarchy has more to teach us about acting like despots than even the Tories could muster.

She is not a parent reprimanding her children. A symbolic power is useless when it comes to the ruling classes, otherwise the prisons would be full of bankers.

Completely remove the church and the monarchy from politics.

Well the baby will almost certainly grow up to be King/Queen of the UK and the head of state of 15 other countries, people are just interested in seeing their future monarch make their entrance in to the world, especially as there's been quite a lot of excitement around William and Kate themselves with the big wedding a couple of years ago and the new legislation meaning that even if it's a girl it'll still be 3rd in line to the throne

I'm not a staunch royalist by any means for what it's worth, but I do quite appreciate having a monarchy and take a vague interest in major royal events when they come around

Is it too late to ask for that to happen to me?

Probably. But if you've got 50 notes, then I know a woman in Oxfordshire....

I'm not a royalist but I'm not anti-royal either. Pretty neutral on the subject.

Interesting that Alex Salmond, although he now has the opportunity to make Scotland an independent republic, has chosen to stick with the monarchy.

As have places as far flung as Australia, Canada, New Zealand etc. They could have ditched the queen a long time ago: she doesn't even live in those countries.

I think we are a very long way from Britain becoming a republic. I'm willing to bet it won't be in the lifetime of anyone posting on this forum! ;)

They had no choice, the courtiers would have laid down the law.

This antiquated system of a heredity monarchy not only is archaic and out of place in a modern democracy, but those within the monarchy effectively have their human rights infringed, such as freedom of association and freedom of thought.

They looked pretty happy to me! Lol! ;)

[Sticks]

You have seen them happy with the baby.

It was named behind closed doors. The courtiers would have insisted on the names because of "Tradition"

[CaudleHalbard]

I don't think Prince Wills comes across many courtiers in the RAF Search & Rescue team. Lol!

The Queen probably chose the name. The child is all one of her successors to the throne.

[Sticks]

Which proves if true, that the system of monarchy we have infringes the human rights of those within it.

There is more to be said on a general level, but that is for another thread, as this one is about the recent royal birth.

What I wonder now is how much Kate will be allowed to nurse her baby herself, or will the courtiers insist that that is not becoming of a royal and that if the bottle was good enough for his grand father, you get the picture.

You can bet that William from now one will not be allowed to change nappies, that is the job of the Royal nannies, who from now one will take over the child's care and education. They usually only see Mater and Pater at Christmas or Easter...

[CaudleHalbard]

We are told that Kate is already nursing the baby herself and that William had already done a bit of nappy changing.

Once they are back in their cottage in Wales there won't be anyone around to tell them anything - except for William's CO!

Er Third in line to the throne? I don't think so.

Royal protocols must be followed to the letter...

Prince William and Kate are presented to us in the media as a "normal, modern couple" - I highly doubt that antiquated parenting practices will be imposed on them, if for no other reason, because their good reputation has brought some form of credibility back to the Royal family after years of scandals ranging from Diana to Sarah Ferguson. While it is considered tradition to choose from a selected pool of names within the Royal family; why are you working under the assumption that William and Kate wanted to name their baby something else? We have no evidence to the contrary. They called him George. George is the patron saint of England, there have been a great number of King Georges down the line (and it is a very normal tradition around the world, including in the UK, to name children after family members) and if they like the name, they like the name. William held his child outside in front of the press in what came across as a very pointed statement that he is going to be a father and not merely a ceremonial paternal figure. They're all about coming across as modern and as normal as possible. People need to cut them some slack - there are so many people furiously picking on them for being unelected (which, as true it is, isn't their fault - and Kate Middleton was just like everybody else for her whole life!) and for what they represent that they seem to forget that they are two first-time parents who have just had a baby. I can't think of a single other mother and father who have been so harshly criticised for... having a baby.

[Kizzy]

But George?.... What a horrible name, You just can't imagine a baby called George :joker:

Any Criticism is not directed at Will and Kate but at the system of Monarchy and those who impose it upon those trapped in it like Will and Kate.

As has been said it is not their fault they have not been elected, they are just as much victims of this system.

Getting back to the topic, I am surprised that the mandarins at the palace have allowed Kate to take the child back to her mother. In previous times, it was back to the palace, ASAP.

[LikeABoatOnWater]

Ironic that the US media used this to deflect from the George Zimmerman case and then Kate and Wills go and call him George.

George Alexander Louis is a lovely name and he will be known as HRH Prince George Of Cambridge:). Once again congratulations to them all!

her family had no input in the naming of their grandson/son
they weren't even spoken to , the monarchy i.e. the queen and phillip picked the names end of
lovely kind meritocratic dictators that they are
the coverage has been preposterously over the top and saturated
