Okay - so is the hype about this baby a little over the top? It's exciting news, but seriously....
-
I agree. Who cares that she is pregnant? No other pregnant women are getting world wide attention.
-
Hi,
I could not agree more. It is sad that the royal baby is considered news, yet the more important world events are not given any coverage by the television news networks. This makes no sense to me. I get the news by reading United Press International each day.
-
Its amazing that women are being hopitalized for morning sickness these days! Where has all this help been for decades for all the other women who have been pregnant since the world began??? Hummmmm
-
There are thousands, perhaps millions of pregnant women in the world. What makes this one so special?
-
Who cares is my thoughts. I never really cared for their way of life and feel it is just a fairy tale story. Those are my thoughts. Many women have babies and many go through rough times during. Women have been having babies for centuries. This one is not special to me. May they have a healthy baby.
-
Oh...I think it's great. I've never really cared that much about the royal family but I loved Diana..her boys are great and Kate is a delight. I love the royal family is becoming less stuffy and more like regular people.
-
It's just like the new is - Gossip!! They don't care about the economy or Syria ready to bomb their people with siren gas but, they make a big thing about the next in line for the King of England's offspring. Have they forgotten we are no longer a possession of England??? On the other hand, it is a big thing for England, this Child is Royalty, and they take their Royal Family very seriously!!

Well, of course it's over the top!!! After all it's ROYAL news!!! It seems that whenever it is about the "Royals" the news will continue to go on and on about whatever the story happens to be at the time. Although, I like hearing about them I think the media does get a bit carried away. Anyway, I hope the Dutchess is feeling better and congrats to them both!!!!!
-
I have to agree with most - who really cares that she's going to have a baby. What's all the hype about the "royal" family anyway - what have they ever done that makes them "important" except being born into that family And being in the hospital for morning sickness......really, you've got to be kidding! Do you have any idea how full hospitals would be if every mother to be went in for morning sickness??
-
News about the Royal family only seems relevant to those who have followed the family as the rulers of England since Queen Elizabeth's father was king and before. It is just a nice fantasy that most people seem to enjoy holding on to although they are purely symbolic and really don't have any real significance today. I don't think they want all the attention they get.

im so happy for them but to much hype most of us do have kids but its their first. maybe the press will show some sense and keep a healthy distance i hope anyways

I agree!...The funny thing is, I didn't even know she was pregnant until today, LOL...I could care less about the "royals". I only liked Princess Diana and she's gone now, soooo.
-
I think it is great that she is having a baby, but so are millions of other women. Now that it has been announced lets get on with what is happening in our country. And please let it be some good news.
-
The English love it so if it makes them happy, it doesn't bother me.
-
It's another baby to me.
-
Crazy I just hope it doesn't go on for the whole pregnancy i'm tired of hearing about it already. She's only having a baby.
-
I understand the media reaction, although I don't personally think it is important news. Many people are fascinated with royalty and other eras, that is why these news have gone so overboard. It is the same reason why movies based on royalty and earlier times get so much Academy Awards attention. It probably is in people's subconscious.
-
I think it is a sign of our cultures preoccupation with fame and wealth. The royal family are public figures and I would have expected an announcement and then congrats from people and then wait until baby is born, but wow this level is crazy. I am happy for them just like you would be for any young couple having a child, but don't really need to know all the details.
-
I am not going to lie i love gossip like this but i dont think this is news we have to be overwhelmed with people get pregnant we should give too much attention on this
-
So Westlife about her having a baby she's just another woman having a baby UEC some princes or beat will be princes since or queen of England she is just another woman have a baby. And getting their sick.Like other women do
-
I used to follow the royal family years ago and back then news like this would have really been extremely interesting. But not now. All I can say is congratulations to the family and I think it would be interesting if it's a girl since the primogeniture rule has been changed, but the hype situation I guess comes since they are royals and real celebrities in that country. I can only imagine the hype that would come if Michelle Obama were pregnant (before anyone says it I know she getting older, I'm just giving her as an example) since she is the first lady.
I really don't watch much tv anymore. So the celebrity hype machine bypasses me a lot, which helps for topics I'm not interested in.
