it's pretty awesome that king george vi is the royal baby's (the prince of cambridge's) great-great-grandfather! george vi was handsome and had dignity and fortitude. i hope the new little fellow is like him!! too bad his grandson (prince charles) is a bit of a disappointment, but prince william (and prince harry as well) seem to be noble and honorable.
shareTotally unremarkable. I am the great-great-grandson of my great-great-grandfather too. That's how it works.

Being well known doesn't make basic logic any more remarkable. By the way, the baby doesn't have the same name as his great-great-grandfather. Even if his g-g-grandfather's name was actually George, does that mean that it's a good sign for any baby to named George?

King George V & King George VI were good Kings. So, yes it might be a good sign.

What else could They Name Him, but, George? All the other Male English Monarchs Names were currently taken. Baby Cambridge may have the same Name as His Great-Great Granddad, but the late George VI's real Name was Albert. Let's hope this new addition George, doesn't turn out like Mad King George.
shareWhy should the logical progression of being the great-great-grandson of your great-great-grandfather be any more remarkable because you're royalty.
Why not say the same about any mundane fact that's common to all babies; isn't it cool that the royal baby can't walk or talk or help itself? isn't it cool that the royal baby's mother shít herself during labour?"

Spot on. Some people are just ditzy...

I hope you are a bit less of a *beep* idiot right now.
I think it is more interesting that Queen Victoria was the grandmother of King George V of Great Britain, Kaiser Wilhlem II of Germany, and Tsarina Alexandria of Russia - all of whom ended up fighting each other in World War I.
And for good measure - she is also the grandmother to Queen Sophia of Greece, Queen Maud of Norway, Queen Marie of Romania, Queen Margaret of Sweden, and Queen Victoria Eugenie of Spain.
She wasn't called the Grandmother of Europe for nothing.

The only thing Charles takes seriously, is doing the Horizontal Mambo with his TART!
I do hope he won't upset Henry...
well, charles is prince of wales so more is expected of him. When william is prince of wales, he will be expected to take on more royal duties. for the time being, i see no harm in him doing less in the way of public appearances. Let him have a bit of family life while he can.
