The world literally came to a stop this afternoon, ceasing to rotate on its axis as the entire universe and multiverses came to a breathless standstill to await the birth of the GREATEST ROYAL BABY IN INTERNET HISTORY. With a fanfare of trumpets and in labor pangs of ethereal beauty, America's Princess, Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge and Duke of Earl,
Diana wasn't quite the 'umble naïf commoner she was portrayed to be - pater was the 8th Earl Spencer, after all. Just not quite aristocratic enough to count as non-common for the purpose of royalty. Daddy wasn't allowed in the House of Commons on account of that peerage, though.
Amen. I would just LOVE for Chuck to pop off before his mother, and never get to be king (or, even better, for Camilla to never be queen) after the way the two of them cynically used Diana. They don't even have the excuse of being young and naive- they were certainly old enough to know better.
Ah. Right. Botanical ignoramus is covered in more embarrassment. Can we just pretend that everything from the point where I thought you were being sarcastic about white poppies didn't happen?
No, they took that whole divorce thing very seriously- certainly at that time there was still a whole segment of the Anglican Church which did not accept divorce, and the king as its head was expected to play along. Heck, according to Wikipedia, (I know, I know) "until 2002, the Church of England did not permit the remarriage of divorced people who had living ex-spouses" Even 17 years after the abdication crisis, Princess Margaret was prevented from marrying a divorced man
Nope, Andrew's daughters come in right after him, then Edward, then whatever kids Edward has, then Anne. The gender-neutral thing hasn't been passed yet by all of the Commonwealth countries.
Check out the Onion. They have that shit COVERED!

I'm betting the little feller won't be named "North West."
And $10,000 says the name won't be "John."
Or is handed one by a watery Bint (or damp trollop).
Gotta give a speech once a year and a TV spot at Christmas, plus lots of people want your signature.
I don't think non-gendered succession has made it to the Queen for Royal Assent yet.
Unsurprising, given the whole thing was a massive "fuck you" to his record label for refusing to release him from his contract.
Will he have to marry a pillar of salt?
Good Heavens. I'd never heard of arctomecon merriamii. I bow before you.
No, it's just a white Shirley Poppy, from my garden. They do look a lot alike, though. I have a serious thing for poppies.

Yes, with poutine instead of BBQ, .
Okay. And I'll switch to a pink poppy now, because the white one doesn't look as nice. (at least, I would if ID would cooperate!!)
