No doubt Emma Bridgewater will have a christening mug out at a tasteful£19.95.

The guardsman sleeping suit is rather cute.

I didn't know the palace had an online shop. Good for them - a bit if marketing acumen. If people want to buy it, reasonably tasteful British tat from the palace is better than absolutely horrible stuff from cut-price sweatshops abroad.

I don't have a problem with harmless events giving some people a huge amount of pleasure. I won't be filling my house with tat but I'll raise a glass of wine because the birth of any baby is a happy occasion.

I reckon that if new parents buy these horribly naff items, they are not fit to have children in the first place. I also think it unlikely that the whole nation will fling themselves into Champagne parties simply to celebrate the birth of someone else's child. No doubt, many will be pleased at the arrival of a royal sprog and I am sure the papers will be plastered with pictures but an orgy of spending to celebrate?

She does look sweet in that pink outfit.

A Daily Mail article is hardly worth crying about.
