Doesn't surprise me at all on this issue, we both realize that there are many more important things to worry about right here at home, rather than wasting our time pondering the origins of some inbred royal brat from across the pond...
My wife did a little essay on FB and referred to the kid as the "Royal Rugrat". I did crack up.

Oh, I completely agree, I just found it amusing that someone actually took the time to make a video like this.
Here is my wife Vicki's essay she posted on her Facebook page. I thought she did a really nice job on it.

What is it that fires up such inordinate interest in a baby just born into that Teflon anachronism called The Royal Family? A sweet child is born nearly every moment on this planet, but the random merging of Kate's egg and William's most aggressively speedy sperm somehow galvanizes nearly unprecedented, worldwide interest, as if the infant will immediately assume the throne and begin dictating humanity's future before he has his first diaper change. I've studiously avoided the news tsunami over the little guy, but that hasn't stopped me from ruminating over this strange fascination folks have with the Royal Rugrat. A quick assessment likens this interest to that typically aimed at any celebrity, but with this crucial added feature: Royal. British. Monarchy. Here in America, where Presidential administrations are supposed to forswear anything resembling absolute rule by lineage, the British monarchy attracts millions of looky-loos who are subconsciously sorting out their emotions over the place our ancestors rightly fled. Still, we miss that ruling family, that ruling class, that set of fortunate individuals to whom we should owe allegiance: Purported Gods in human form we can depend on, and from whom we can expect priestly largesse and beneficence. These are primal feelings aroused by the eons of subjugation most of our species have endured. We are helpless children at heart, deeply needing to know, love and be loved by a perfect parent (or two.) The Monarchy embodies the archetype of ultimate parent, regardless of the fact that institutional cruelty and mass serfdom usually result from great power concentrated in a handful of mere humans.
So yeah, the populist sway of Britain's remaining Monarchy may be largely symbolic, but its overriding symbol still reigns. A fresh, new human being entering a family richly loaded with royal symbolism, so highly meaningful to Americans--even though having chosen a more enlightened system-- demands attention, if not adoration. And it is exactly that unconscious need and our surrender to it that has been apparently overcome by the system of American laws and government. Let's not forget that. A British baby, after all, has little real meaning to America.

Vicki Ecker's essay about the British Royal Family. Shows only the tip of the iceburg that is America's sad desire to return to the U.K. womb.
Hollywood is copying every popular British show airing from the U.K. Along with Harry Potter's American fan base. Even some the callers to my favorite politcal talk radio host are wishing we could adopt some of the U.K.'s government practices such as having multiple political parties and "Question Time".
As I tease the Paracasters from the U.K.. If you want to see what the next big TV show in America will be, just watch your favorite BBC program.

Yup, you gotta wonder if the public remembers we fought two wars with the Brits to stay "American." Of course that was over two hundred years ago so maybe they did forget. Hmm, kinda weird though.

But it's no different from here - or more accurately - no different from ufo-ology ideas of conspiracies. In fact, I do discuss royalty on another chat site 
- and have to 'hide' that interest as much as I have to 'hide' my interest in ufo's - what a world! 
Anyway, the phenomenon of this 'birth hoax' is quite a spin. From the moment she entered the hospital with HG in December the suspicion has been non-stop in certain quarters. The phantasm of distrust is the interesting aspect - and how 'logical' and 'persuasive the 'evidence' is that a hoax was perpetrated. What to say?

I must admit I have a VERY cynical take on that. Actually it is simple ... when you get a herd of people together there is NO TELLING the lengths of stupid that comes outta that. The conspiracies that people will buy into just make my head spin.

Love that sentence! And yes, totally agree, which brings up the ufo situation......
This hoax is a non-starter, especially for the weak reasons delivered by that computer voice. Now a real Royal conspiracy - one that I fully believe in - is that Prince Harry is not Charles' son, rather he is the son of one Major Hewitt, a long-time fling of Diana's when she was still married. He has ginger hair and Harry looks far more like him than Charles.
Have a look if you care, though I don't expect anyone to. I'm not anti-royal in as much as they have little say into which family they happen to be born but I am dead against any notion of 'blue-blood' or anything remotely insinuating that they are 'better' than anyone else.
