If they were american, we would have riots over our tax dollars propping these glorified welfare queens that does nothing but sit and look pretty all day.

Hell, we get pissed over our tax dollars being spent on the first family and they are responsible for getting actual shite done like governing the executive branch.

We own a children's clothing store. Whatever the royal babies are wearing, we sell out of. Seriously. I had no idea this was a thing.

Americans like them better than the Brits. Most of them either dont care or want the monarchy abolished. I will say Diana's sons have done a lot to rehabilitate the Royal family's image. They seem like standup guys.

The reason people (mostly women) care is because they are the closest thing to royalty that we have. The better question is how was she able to leave the hospital after having the baby only a few hours ago.

I just asked my wife. She assumes they have some kind of hospital set up waiting for her at home. That still doesn’t explain how she is already able to walk.

I can't fathom why grown men spend an obscene amount of time on the internet complaining about the way college students play a sport, but here we are. Worry about yourself.

Don't get the Americans who care. For the British, at least the English, they are the symbol of the nation.
Even if they are pretty much pure Germans.
Although I think Diana brought some British blood back into the mix with William and Harry.

especially now that the lineage is about to be forever changed merely for bullshite PC reasons.

You're telling me that out of every single supermodel, 18-28 year old girl in Europe who will kill to marry a Prince, he chooses a late-30 something chick that is like a 7?

It's their equivalent of Aaron Rodgers choosing to date 40 year old lesbian NASCAR driver when he could be dating a supermodel or Jennifer Lawrence (if he were straight).

I think spending several days at the hospital for child birth is an American thing. We had our son in a German hospital. We were admitted at 6am and were sitting at home with the new baby by 11am.

About an hour after he was born a nurse came in told us we were free to leave. I was pretty shocked and asked if she was sure we could leave already and she said "Why, is something wrong?".
