Seriously - the 'why' is a legitimate question here. Why does anyone care about the fact that a pampered figurehead has managed to breed?

In terms of ceremony, I find the Papal Conclave to be fascinating as hell because in the end, the pope actually does dictate the direction of the catholic church and could legitimately make a difference. So the combination of legitimate present impact + ceremony is interesting to me. But royal rugrats? I just don't get it. This has absolutely no true impact on the world at large. Well, unless you believe that the absence of a royal brood could create some sort of modern War of the Roses whereupon Britain breaks out into full-scale slaughter to determine the next ruling family in the absence of a legitimate heir.

So yes, if you've been watching Game of Thrones recently, I suppose this could be of some sort of relevance to you.

Well, this new future king will one day be the head of the Anglican church. Not to mention the head of state of the UK and the commonwealth realms.
