Poor Kate's with child again.

When will these scroungers stop pumping out sprogs they expect all the rest of us to pay for?

They'll have fertility MOT'ed her before the wedding. Nice.

If she didn't 'do her duty' it'd be DIVORCE.

Don't be fooled into thinking the royals have joined the 21st century, or 20th...

She hasn't been to Eton Confused

Thinking of name

George and Midred?

windchime · 08/09/2014 10:50

I was only thinking yesterday that we need some nicer news than Scotland referending, and Middle Eastern terrorism. And here it is! I have a big smile on my face. Good for them Flowers

PlacidApricots · 08/09/2014 10:50

oh and OP they are not scroungers, William works in the RAF!!

madamginger · 08/09/2014 10:51

He works for the air ambulances, im pretty sure its an essential job for those that need it!

PlacidApricots · 08/09/2014 10:51

But it isn't like there isn't another option if they didn't? Yeah it would be Harry but still.

Bowlersarm · 08/09/2014 10:52

George and Michael?

weatherall · 08/09/2014 10:52

Who would envy them?

They live in a fishbowl.

'Happy' is not a word I'd use to describe the royal family.

OwlCapone · 08/09/2014 10:52

I think the OP is cut and pasting from a Republican Bingo sheet.

PlacidApricots · 08/09/2014 10:53

Great thanks, now I have George Michael songs in my head. :o

Cereal0ffender · 08/09/2014 10:53

Lolz at wealthy in his own right! I need a mn break and I might just take it now and avoid all the dreadful sycophantic threads

Bowlersarm · 08/09/2014 10:53

'happy' isn't a word I'd use to describe you either, OP. Misery guts.

PlacidApricots · 08/09/2014 10:53

Before this river becomes an occeeann before you lay my heart back on the floor
woahhh yeah

writtenguarantee · 08/09/2014 10:54

You do know he has a job and a he 's very wealthy in his own right? I'm sure they can afford a baby on their own!

Perhaps we should nix the royal grant and let them pay their own way?

PeterGriffinsPenisBeaker · 08/09/2014 10:55

Jeeeez, unclench OP, she's having a baby. Great news, I think they should call @2 Consuela just to jazz it up a bit...

Missunreasonable · 08/09/2014 10:56

Why are you so unhappy OP? Are you concerned that Kate is only having another baby in order to get a free goat, some tax credits and a 50" tv?
She will be entitled to free school meals when little George gets to KS1 but I don't think she will be using state education so consider that a few hundred pounds saved.
Honestly some people need to get a grip.
OP: have you ever been in receipt of tax credits or child benefit?

vickibee · 08/09/2014 10:58

The scots have thier refrendum on independence can we have on on scrapping the monarchy too?

IPityThePontipines · 08/09/2014 10:58

YANBU OP. All the nonsense around the birth of the first one was nauseating.

WorraLiberty · 08/09/2014 10:59

Christ, even that poster called Kim wasn't this miserable about the royals

AbbieHoffmansAfro · 08/09/2014 11:00

I'm as Republican as they come, but I can't be doing with this goady unpleasantness about the Royal Family, it's rather juvenile. Object to them on political grounds by all means, ignore them on a personal level. The whole point about having a monarchy is that it doesn't matter what they're like. We've no real idea who they are and what they get up to anyway.

IPityThePontipines · 08/09/2014 11:00

People saying the OP is BU, are you seriously happy to have to curtsey to someone purely because of an accident of birth?

Waltermittythesequel · 08/09/2014 11:01

I hope she has a girl!

That baby is utterly gorgeous.

badtime · 08/09/2014 11:02

I don't like them much, but he had a hefty inheritance from his mother, so he is wealthy in his own right.

TBH, their real job is tourism marketing, regardless of where any of them ostensibly work.
