While I won't say "who cares?" (because I know that a lot of people do), I will say "I give zero ****s" and wonder why anyone that doesn't live in Britain does.

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.
