They had been honest on the baby's birth certificate. We are at my DSis and DBils over the May Day weekend, leaving tomorrow. Anyway, unlike us they have TV, radios, newspapers ect. and my Dsis is royalty mad, so the news has been on the whole flipping time, even on specialist news channels! Anyway, she has just shown me an article about the Baby's BC and it says Mother's Occupation: Princess of UK, now I don't follow the royals or any media, but I did hear a while back that the DoC did not do many duties because she is a SaHM, so why couldn't she put that on the BC? It's like it's not a real thing. This makes me cross for 2 reasons, I am practically a SAHM, as I only work out of the home 3 days a month and I think if she'd written SAHM, it would have given it good publicity. However, I'm also cross irrationally, I know, but I am PG Princess is not an occupation, it's a title, which can't be earned on merit. I get the charity thing, so why not put philanthropist? The same with the husband, he's in the air ambulance, isn't he, last I heard (was told by Dsis), why doesn't he put that? I just think it's laughably old fashioned to have titles as occupations, as if they have to prove they are 'special' or 'other'. What's wrong with writing what they do far a living?
