So Prince William's going to be a father of 3 soon then.

No doubt your opinion will shake the House of Windsor to its foundations.

Enormous public support - and a conveyor belt of heirs - means abolitionists are in for long wait.

Surely it is quality rather than quantity that is important?

 

[Pale Rider]

Talk about an over-reaction. I simply DGAF, that's all.



The number of heirs would have no bearing on abolition. Think about it.

I didn't say it would.

The point for the House of Windsor is there's no realistic prospect of them running out of suitable male heirs, let alone females, for several generations.

Thus while the public still want a monarchy, it's hard to see the monarch being anything other than a Windsor.

If the public as a whole don't want a monarchy, eventually there won't be one so it won't matter who the monarch would have been.

 

[Pale Rider]

It might not have been what you intended to say but it is what you wrote

Clearly you are incapable of dealing with two propositions in one sentence.

The security of the monarchy looks assured unless there is an enormous shift in public opinion.

That monarch looks likely to be a Windsor for several generations.

Rather than quality, I would suggest popularity is more important.

We all have our views on that.

Charles has always looked bit of a duffer to me, but both the sons look like they would make reasonable kings.

Both appear to enjoy widespread public affection, even the younger one, who has come on a bit after some iffy events earlier in his life.

It was all so much easier when the heads of all looked the same, and when they all sported the same "royal" beard. Bring back those days. And more wars to sort our their family squabbles.

 

[Dayvo]

Barbara if it's a girl.

Bobby if it's a boy.

Let's hope for twins, eh!

Both appear to enjoy widespread public affection amongst readers of the tabloid press, even the younger one, who has come on a bit after some iffy events earlier in his life.

Well timed. 2 weeks off paternity leave just in time for the World Wendyball contest.

I guess that explains the catty comments.

I thought pussy pics were against the T&C ....

Will it be called Harry after its dad.....

 

[MiK1138]

Will it be called Harry after its dad.....

While I wish no ill will on William and his family, I really would like to see the Royal House of Hewitt

Nah, I'd much rather see the House of Saxe Coburg Gotha. Oh, hang on...

Those Royals aren't the brightest.

They don't need to be, they have their daily mail reading fans to cover all the thinking duties.

Well this prole can google:- Tribus
