to not care at all about the royal baby?

[lu9months]

i wish them well as i would any new parents. but really. its a child, as wonderful as any other new baby. i find it obscene the extent to which they are venerated and exalted. sorry. just how i feel.

That's how you feel, so YANBU but like it or not he is a very special baby.

I agree

YANBU, I don't care! All that you said, but I don't care. There was a spread in the paper a few weeks ago of Kate in her pregnancy outfits...I sadly added up how much they cost...57k...just wrong!

Wish them well but other than that, not fussed. Seeing the crowds outside Buck P is just crazy.

YABU - it's a momentous day, our future King has just been born!

'a very special baby'
er, don't think so - luck of the birth draw that will allow him a life of unimaginable privilege does not make him any more special than my babies were/are

YANBU agree 100%

YANBU I agree. It's just opium for the masses and keeps the more depressing news off the headlines.

Already been done.

If you don't care, fine... It's not a crime.

But you care enough to start a thread about it...

Most people simply wish them well... It's the media that exalt them. A fact which seems to escape a lot of people.

I dont care either and the FB posts of pictures of her saying 'like if you are proud of our Kate' are getting stupid

There's loads of them.

YABU.
I think its lovely.
I do agree that it will be way over reported and exploited and we'll be sick of hearing about it but I'll try and avoid all that!
But to not care about the baby? No.

Yanbu. I've hidden eight threads about the royals today...so far

^^ Doha and IDontDoIroning
yes, wonder what bad news for the disabled and poor will be hidden today

wait, there's a royal baby? I hadn't noticed

Hear hear op.

Lovely for the family. Shouldn't be in the least bit interesting to anyone else.

YANBU at all grr

I agree. They seem like a nice couple, but I really can't get interested in the child of strangers.

Pleased for them, but have no desire to here about as headline news for the next few days.

'you care enough to start a thread about it' - that's because i am being driven mad by the media, facebook, (mumsnet - whisper it!) etc etc, and it is making me increasingly cross about the inequality everyone seems to accept. i cant help thinking about all the mums giving birth at st marys on the nhs side, and in other nhs hospitals today, hoping there will be enough midwives to give them decent care. and all those mums scraping enough together to get what they need for their new baby. its unbelievable to me that everyone seems so fine with that.

Lovely for them, I wish them well but i am not interested. I was reading on here last week about children who will be hungry this summer because they will not have free school meals and yet the news is full of the new prince born to a life of luxury.

I think it is a lovely, it's nice that the news isn't all doom and gloom.

Royalty is totally outdated. i doubt there will be such a thing by the time he gets anywhere near the throne.
