As to the Brits, my mother was a young woman in, born and bred in London when Elizabeth was crowned. I think to understand the British-you have to be British. While some Brits think the monarchy is out dated and redundant, the monarchy represents much more than just a person.

You know, one of the Scandinavian countries actually has veto power over what its citizens can name their children. I don't think we should ever, ever resort to that, but yikes.

I agree with Bonny that they may not be fit (smart) enough to raise children. And how will that child feel when he is older?

I sincerely hope they don't name their next son Marx. Unfortunate Events is also entertaining me this week. I wonder if "Mr. Ed" encouraged horses to talk?
