    Did you read post #15 or post #36? And whats with this crap about Bophuthatswana, which is some pissant country in Africa. Why is it that everything in the liberal mind of whats important or worthy of notice have to be something about Blacks or Africa?

    Whatever you choose to reject + find revolting . means $hiet. It Aint gonna change anything .


    The new born Prince , if he should survive,. unlike others born on same day , shall one day be King of England and head of what we know today as the Commonwealth of Nations (formerly British Commonwealth) - Long after you + I are no more.

    see this :

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commonwealth_of_Nations


    FYI - , as a teenager , I toyed /explored anti-monarchist /Republicanism , but later in life as I matured and stood back to compare our monarchical system + our monarch's conduct with ALL other nation's Head of State , I changed my mind.

    Thanks, she's a beauty herself and brave. They lived through true horror, we can't even imagine. Churchill's constant warnings, which a lot of people ignored, were true.

    George. What a fine choice. Named after two great wartime leaders: George V (WWI(although I wish Germany had won: more monarchy that way)) and George VI (WWII).

    The infant Prince was possible named after King George VI, his great-grandfather who had to ascend the throne with great reluctance after his brother Edward VIII revealed his desire to marry the divorced American socialite Wallis Simpson.

    I never implied otherwise.

    I'm familiar with the monarchy, my friend. I live in a Commonwealth country.

    Good for you. I doubt I will mine.

    I was hoping beyond all reasonable hope that they would break with tradition and name the kid Leroy, Frank or Stan.

    George is a name I particularly dislike - must have known a 'bad one' at one time. I don't remember when I last heard anyone called george. Now we are going to have a generation or two of them!

    Besides George Bush?

    I ought to do that as a joke - when the subject comes up, tell people the baby was named after Dubya - just to watch their heads explode!

    White nations, such as Great Britain, have to be disparaged and ridiculed for their traditions and customs -- unless they marble-cake everything with minority "inclusiveness". Such is the nature and the bone-headed determination of the hyperliberal viewpoint -- always playing the iconoclast against anything WHITE. The main point I was making was that with at least 1,500 years of dynamic development in nearly every human endeavor, Great Britain doesn't need to apologize to anyone, for anything! And neither do White (or Oriental) populations anywhere on Earth! Thank you, Black civilization, for providing the human race with a stable platform for steady growth and progress that took humankind out of Africa and from there throughout the world. But the truth is that afterward, well, Black civilization mostly just remained in the primitive era of slash-and-burn agriculture, animistic religions, with endless tribal warfare and slavery. To compare any part of 21st-Century Black Africa with Great Britain is an exercise in embarrassing futility....

    As an American, George won't ever be my King, and unlike our "president", I would never bow to any monarch. But I respect, admire, and revere Great Britain, her traditions, her culture, her institutions, and her people, all of whom have contributed so very much to the rise and development of civilization throughout the world, for many centuries.... Rule Britannia!

    Actually they do. A long list of countries in which they behaved not dissimilarly to the Nazis.

    Open to conjecture.

    The Australian Republican Movement is still working away in the background and gaining more support. Once Elizabeth falls off the perch (or abdicates) the decision will be made to turn Australia into a republic and the English Monarch no longer the King (or Queen) of Australia.

    The same mistakes won't be made as the last referendum. We have learnt our lesson. By the time George ascends to the throne, Australia will long be a republic.

    George will still be the head of the Commonwealth, Australia will still be a member, but as a republic.

    Very boring name. How about an Alfred, Arthur or even a return to Henry? G - d forbid they actually choose a new name like Paul or Michael or David or Thomas!
