TTT - //probably feels confident in winning an argument against a 3 year old. Disgusting creature. //
This lady has offered her republican opinion on a private website - that's freedom of speech - you don't have to agree with her view, but I hardly think it makes her a 'disgusting creature'. //
I posted that view before I was aware of other comments advised on ummm's link.
I have no problem with criticism of the royals - it goes with the territory, but to attack a child in that nasty way is really wrong.

Hypognosis - //George reminds me of Diana's father but, weirdly, resembles his mother more than his dad. How closely related are the Middletons to the Spencers? //
You can't set a lot of store by perceived resemblences.
When my eldest daughter got married, three separate people at the reception, when told I was her dad, told me they could see the resemblance.
Odd, since she is my step-daughter, and is the absolute image of her biological dad, but doesn't resemble me in the slightest!

vetuste - //Unaware of a genocidal maniac called Hopkins. Are you referring to the Witchfinder General, SP? //
I think you are looking in the wrong area for the link - it's not that they all grew up to be genocidal maniacs, but they certainly grew up to be dick heads!
I think you can find a Hopkins that fits right in - I can!

Gromit - //"Prince Goerge is a *** d*ckhead."
Isn't it refreshing in these days of Political Correctness and free speech being attacked by the right on brigade, that someone is prepared to say loudly what she thinks.
No sanitised language, she is calling a spade - a spade. Well done. //
In the interests of accuracy, the quote is that George 'looks like a dick head', not that he in fact is one - a small, but important distinction.

Well that just goes to show how we spend a lot of time talking in clichés or saying things we feel we're expected to say.
Anthropolically speaking there was a loose hypothesis about how kids are supposed to resemble their fathers, so as to convince them of paternity (important in the era before hominids had language), as a corollary to the theory that females are genetically predisposed to be unfaithful, so as to maximise their own offspring. The respective fathers will protect and nurture the ones which most resemble them.
This theory falls down for any hominid subspecies which lacks either the ability to see their own reflection (in a puddle, say) or recognise themself in the reflection (and not all of them can).

teh Telegraph said a couple of eyars ago
By the time the couple attended a St Patrick’s Day event in Aldershot on March 17, he was “crawling and eating” a lot, and had his first milk tooth coming through, they told soldiers from the 1st Bn Irish Guards.
And this was a couple of months ago:
The young royal leaned on the balcony and pointed up at the sky while shielding his eyes from the sun to get a better look at them.
At one point, Prince William gestured to him and he waved to the sea of fans watching below.
If he gets that sort of saturation coverage, he'll have to take the rough with the smooth, I suppose. And I don't blame anyone for feeling like puking over it.

We have to accept that we live in a royalist culture, and the media pander to it for circulation purposes.
This has reached its zenith with the recent picture pull-outs from the Mail, which sent its subeditors into a laughably nonsensical orgy or hyperbole - 'heart soaring', 'magical' and other similar guff.
The rest of us, not quite so favourably disposed to the Royal Family, simply have to turn the other way.
