What’s All the Fuss?

Uncategorized

DISCLAIMER: I am 25 days into my 30 radiation treatment protocol. It’s 6:41 p.m. and I could fall fast asleep on my laptop right now. If this post doesn’t make sense, you’ll understand why I haven’t posted in a week.

Back to the original thought. Yesterday, two women asked me what all the fuss was about for the royal baby. Honestly, that took me off guard. For the past week, I’ve been glued to the radio & internet, waiting for word. Come. On.

I won’t say that every girl dreamed of being a princess, but fess up, many of us did. In order to be a romance writer, it’s a prerequisite. I wanted to live in a beautiful palace with servants waiting on me hand and foot, wearing the most gorgeous gowns (because I would be 1870’s fashion back into vogue). The handsome prince would sweep me away in his carriage and we would live blissfully every after.

And, of course, I would bear him an heir. I wouldn’t want to end up like Henry VIII’s wives.

God had different plans for me, and they are all good. My husband is a prince of a man and I’ve never gone hungry. And I can live out the rest of my fantasies in my books.

So, that is the fascination the world has for the little prince. It’s a romantic ending to a beautiful love story. And who doesn’t love babies? Look at this one! I’d make a fuss over him even if he wasn’t a prince.

  2. I know! What’s wrong with these grumpy people! Yes, it’s a baby and OH MY GOSH it’s being celebrated! YES GOD! That’s awesome all babies should be celebrated and a reminder that yeah, God is still sending gifts from heaven.
    Nice post, Liz.

  4. I agree, Felicity! Someone had suggested something like James Charles Spencer and that would have been a great name. No offense to George’s out there, but they could have done better on the name front.

  6. I actually favoured James too! They could have called him Jamie, which could sound a bit more modern. Hopefully he doesn’t get called “Georgie”…..
