Mr G., those of us resident in this Sceptred Isle look upon the speculation about the new princess as welcome respite from the coverage of the General Election campaign which has reached astonishing new heights of tedium. Tedium rare, I suppose you could call it.
The Nation casts its vote tomorrow and, in days of yore, the whole ghastly business would soon be over and forgotten for the ensuing five years.
Unfortunately, it seems that no one party is likely to be able to command an overall majority and much political horse trading will take place in the immediate days and weeks following the election.
Interestingly (or not) Belgium found itself in a similar position a while back and functioned quite happily without a properly constituted government for well over a year and nobody seemed to notice. Least of all the Belgians.
However, I digress. I think it unlikely that you will hear much more about Princess Whatshername, but we will continue to have the latest round of political shenanigans inflicted upon us for the foreseeable future.
I think you got the better deal.
