As an English expatriate having lived in Melbourne for 47 years, I was thrilled to hear we have a new Prince, as yet un-named. grin

Sixth in line, eh! The queue's getting longer by the day and will (soon?) be even longer when Harry and Merkel start doing their stuff. wink
Poor Harry; bumped out of 6th. spot. sad
Just wonder how long the new one will have to wait before ascending the throne?

Realising I'm not immortal (after all), I'll have to miss that one. smile
As a loyal subject, I bow my knee and wish them all well. grin
So long as they promise to displace TV coverage of the forthcoming Aussie Rules football season. Awful!. grin

Incidentally, were any Gransnetters present in the welcoming crowd outside the hospital when the new Prince emerged?
I'd love to read postings about their experiences; how they felt, etc.

The media down here are going to "go bananas" for months , if not years. Talk about TV coverage, waiting breathlessly for his first smile, first burp, first this and that! smile
Waiting for the next bulletin.!
Good Health

Oh Jalima, I bet you've never virtue signalled in your life. Are we not allowed to admit our political affiliations without being attacked by someone like you. You don't know me: so don't be so ready to judge. We are entitled to our opinions without being insulted by people like you.

Jalima the hospital was excellent it was called Mount Kellet and I have no bad experience with the hospital itself, I need to make that clear it was just the whole situation of being alone and having a first baby as a breech thousands of miles from home and having no support but hey ho that was a very long time ago it just made me think about it
They don’t allow breech births now I m told, it’s a Caesarian

Oh dear Jaxie, I didn't realise when you call a tiny baby a 'parasite' that you were virtue signalling.

I still think that your post was unpleasant rather than displaying your political affiliations.

someone like you - you don't know me either and I can only get an indication of what you are like by your rather nasty post.

Rufus I am Down Under too and I have noticed the media go and on about Royal births. I have to admit I don’t hear any Aussies mention the Royals, not the ones I know. Maybe you mix with lots of expats.

The reason we are not a Republic yet is because the Australian referendum we had years ago was worded in such a way people were compelled to vote against a Republic. The reason being people did not want the risk of ending up having an American style Presidential system.
