A huge news erupted last night in the UK..... Kate Middleton is pregnant!!!!
Well we all knew that it is gonna happen sooner or later, but it is still very exciting for everyone who cares about the royals. In a few months another little prince or princess will enter this world.
The happy news is shaded a little by the fact that the expectant mother has to stay in the hospital for a few days, but hopefully it is nothing too serious and she will be home with her family in time to celebrate Christmas. We all wish her the best. News reports say that she is already getting better.
Now the reaction of the public all around the world is the interesting thing. While the Brits just take it as nothing too special, the Americans are super excited about it. Everything British and everything royal fascinates them greatly. Probably because they don’t have their own royals, they don’t have this history that we in Europe have and I think secretly they are envious. The former British colonies are also all excited about the news... not entirely sure why...
Another interesting thing I got to laugh about is all of these celebrities (Like Snooki) are popping out now giving Kate pregnancy advice... Suddenly everyone is clever.
The politicians are also mobilized, well we are in the 21st century and the law still favours the boy child over the girl for being next in line for the throne – meaning that if the first baby is a girl and the second is a boy, the boy would be the king and the girl would be pushed aside..... That frankly is unacceptable in this day and age of political correctness, that needs to be changed and it needs to be changed fast!! They got to do it before the baby is born, so now all of them are on fire, forgetting all of the other, important issues they got, like saving the economy...
This actually got me thinking, I’m no lawyer and have never researched the law, so I don’t know the answer, and I don’t actually know how it all is, but..... what if the kid is not “healthy”? What if the first born, and now next in the line for throne regardless of gender, what if it has some learning difficulties or even down syndrome....... what happens then? Surely in this age of political correctness they are not allowed to be discriminated right..... ? But does UK really want a retarded queen or king?
Does anyone know the answer to this? Where does the law stand? I would really be interested, so if you know the answer please do post a comment and enlighten me.
Anyway, lets just hope that this doesn’t happen and all goes well for our lovely royal couple and their baby and the little prince or princess will arrive into this world strong and healthy!
