Second, there are some on social media saying this couple are on state handouts, implying that they are like benefit scroungers. This is incorrect, because technically, HRH the Duke of Cambridge actually has a job as an Air Ambulance pilot, so they are classed as a hard working family, David Cameron will be pleased

Third, did I miss something, or aren't wives of royals supposed to produce an heir and a spare? Only on child number three is the luxury of a daughter to be afforded

If you must have this archaic and undemocratic institution of monarchy then do it properly!

And yes I do know of that bill to change the succession so daughters can inherit the crown, but it is not valid as it has not been ratified by all the commonwealth countries, Australia in particular if memory serves me correctly.

Yep, you have missed something...little Princess can now officially be classed as the spare in Heir and a spare, she is 4th in line to the throne. Gone are the days were she would be overlooked for some male relative.
