I don't know why they just refuse to answer questions
by the media they don't like or just not invite them to
anything. They'd soon get the message and miss stories.


Or release photos of the baby and both of them on a royal web site
before walking outside the door of the hospital.

Because they need the the media just like all who live in the public eye. Royal births have never been much of a private affair- hell, in Tudor days it was not unheard of to have the whole court and uncle Tom Cobbley present at the birth. Don't fool yourself the Royal family thrives on the media, HM the Queen above all knows that.

Actually, completely the opposite. Royal births used to be attended by a huge number of people. Very many ladies in waiting, officials, so called doctors, even (it is reported) the Secretary of State. IN THE ROOM.

HRH only has the medical staff and her husband. Much better, I think. The rat pack is outside and becoming increasingly frustrated by the wait. Good luck to them, them scum-siucking leaches.

Not your accent, Tom, I was saying the opposite to not being unheard of. Not the exception, it was the rule.

.. from Stuart rather than Tudor times surely? When the "Old Pretender" was born to James II/VII and (his second wife - a Kafflick) Mary of Modena in 1668, rumour had it that a substitute babe had been brought in to the "delivery suite" in a warming pan! Hence the subsequent need for lotsa witnesses.

In the event King Billy soon appeared to see off James II/VII et al at the Boyne, having previously married Mary, a child of James II/VII's first (Protestant) marriage - so much for male primogeniture! The Brits didn't generally go for the Roman way, and it was finally sorted by the Act of Settlement of 1701, which legally barred RCs - or those who married them - from the Succession. Still in force, the most senior current exclusion is George Windsor, Earl of St Andrews (Son of Duke of Kent) who would have been 33rd in line (D of K is now #32).

As Milady Teeters is of the Roman persuasion, I too had to forgo my position, so someone else can now claim my place as 37,497,254th in line!
