Duchess Kate is pregnant. Rejoice, people of Britain


So Princess Katie is pregnant.

The tabloid press (and the Daily Telegraph) has its lead story and all is well with the world.

Or not.

While congratulations are no doubt in order on a personal basis, should we really care about Katie being up the royal duff?

No. Absolutely not. This isn’t 1335. If the monarch to be doesn't have an heir it isn't going to throw the nation into civil war. And this grovelling fixation with the royals is, frankly, grotesque.

Britain needs to start looking forward a bit more. The last thing it needs is to have another class-system-confirming obsession with Princess Katie’s morning vomiting.

Let's have a bit more focusing on schools, opportunities and competing in the modern world and a bit less medieval claptrap about the activities of the royal pizzle.
