Most everyone is filled with joy
About a certain baby boy;
Of course, some anti-Royalists
May fume and rant and shake their fists,
But they are of no consequence
Beside those thrilled at a new Prince!
The Duke and Duchess, on this night
Seem to be doing all that’s right
To bond with their new baby child
And keep the press from going wild;
So from a ‘Colony’ afar –
Fal la la la-la la la –
Here’s a health unto His Majesty,
The some-time-future King to be!

HERE’S A HEALTH
By Thomas Jordan (1613—1685)
Here’s a health unto his Majesty,
With a f al-la-la-la-la-la-la ;
Confusion to his enemies,
With a fal-la-la-la-la-la-la.
And he that will not drink his health,
I wish him neither wit nor wealth
Nor yet a rope to hang himself,
With a f al-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la –
With a f al-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la!

I do like the way they have started with parenthood. I hope they continue to avoid the mistakes made with so many previous royal children.

I checked Sky News all day yesterday! Excellent news, and my thoughts were also for Diana.
I’m a loyal royalist for all the countries that still have (real) Royal families.

Super! For some reason I think the majority of people expected a girl, which would have been rather fun in view of the more enlightened Rules of Succession now in force.

I know I was one of those people hoping for a girl for that exact reason. 🙂

It’s been a very royalist couple of years. And why not? give us boring folk a lift.

I was brought up as a royalist with a family which treasured things like performing for them (mother) photographing them for a painting (father) or chatting to them on a railway platform (aunts).

Another great birth… such a pity his Grand Mom isn’t alive to be with them… Diana would have loved this moment…
