"Meghan and Harry: All you need to know about the next royal baby" (but were afraid to ask! ) https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-47934729 "Is it a boy or a girl? Who knows!" More to the point - who GAF?
It's irrational when y'think about it that anyone can adore, almost to the point of worshiping, a total stranger even though that stranger (who might be the biggest ass**** on the planet for all they know) has only contempt at best, and indifference at worst for them? And they're nearly always female. How TF does that work??
its babies...you know the collective hormone drenching they all have when "babies" are mentioned....opens the floodgates, doesn't matter whose baby it is it could be Barista from Costa's down the high street....mention "baby" and there's the collective "ahhhh....that's lovely....when's it due....better sit down...I'll makes us a nice cup of tea!!"
One wonders if the whole point of the Royal Family is to have some resource which the Government can manipulate in order to provide a distraction for the great unwashed at times when the Government is losing its mind.
Most pleasures are irrational. I enjoy stupid adventure stories that are totally implausible. You will find that there is accounting for many things in this world, but there is no accounting for taste.
