Royal Baby Name Revealed--sort of...

People will bet on anything! And this isn't even NCAA basketball.

Princess Di was a sweetheart; everyone loved her.

Was that the doorbell, excuse me I must go have a look. Please feel free to chat among yourselves.

From Cher's cough, I guess that Americans may have liked her more than the Brits.

There are four groups in the UK.

Team Charles
Team Diana
Those who like the royal family including those two
Those who disapprove, or are indifferent. 

I am in between the two in the last line.

I didn't like Charles, he was a bad husband to Diana, and only chose her for political reasons when he was always in love with Camilla.

I didn't like Diana, she was a poor mother. She also chose an anti monarchy route as soon as she found herself out of the door, despite still being on the gravy train.

I do respect the queen, she has done the job she is employed for to the best of her abilities.

My favourite though, was always her sister Princess Margaret. She knew she could do what she liked and still take the money, so she did. Her parties in Mustique, apparently, were legendary. Despite my absence.

Wow acherry..your post opened my eyes. Not speaking for all of us but most of us here always thought Diana was revered over there.

Your perspective was really interesting!

Hey aCherry...I was on the old forum but I do not remember your particular post on this matter. Wow, from the American perspective, (and the other US chicks may want to comment) our perception is that the vast majority of the UK love the Royals, including Diana. This is an interesting perspective.

Although we (or perhaps I should say I) are fascinated by the Royals, I do view it as a bit of an antiquity in this day and age. That being said I love every historical show regarding UK history. I just re-watched the Tudors on Showtime. Yes, I know there is some poetic license to shows like this....but I love them.

And I've watched everything about Elizabeth I. She was an unbelievable woman.

You see how ignorant us Americans are? I never knew any of that.
