CNN Royal Commentator Calls Kate Middleton ‘Brilliant’ For Giving Birth To Son On First Try

With the royal baby birth happening Monday, all of the cable news networks have been reaching out to commentators who can offer a uniquely British take on the momentous news. Shortly after the announcement that the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton, had given birth to a healthy baby boy, CNN’s Brooke Baldwin welcomed British native Victoria Arbiter to the air, who proceeded to praise Middleton’s “brilliant” achievement in spawning a male child.

Arbiter, who lived in Kensington Palace for many years when her father served as press secretary for the Queen, began by saying how “thrilled” she was that we “finally, after all this waiting, know that we have a boy.”

“My first thought, I have to say,” she continued, “was this is how brilliant a royal Kate is. There are women throughout British royal family history that have panicked over not being able to deliver a boy. And here we are, Kate did it first time.”

Arbiter noted that this means the “change in the laws of succession conversation” will be over for another generation, referring to the proposed change that would allow a first born child to be next in line for the throne regardless of gender.

Discussing another quirk of British royal tradition, Baldwin remarked that before Middleton could wed Prince William, his family had to first make sure that she could bear a child. Rejecting the notion of the “arranged marriage,” Arbiter suggested that this custom was no longer in place and “at the end the day” the royal family only wanted William to marry someone he loved

Lucky for sure. Fulfilled the contract on the first try. God bless the King. :-)

I would not at all be surprised if a boy baby was the only accepted baby...an early Ultrasound could show a girl or boy baby......similar to Diana.....just boys...

paranoid, yes.....but these people are ruthless...

I can't get all excited about the new boy king.....

A boy, Henry VIII would be a happy man today. So when Lizzy kicks the bucket (provided she ever does) it should be HIS Majesty’s secret service for a long time. Would make a swell name for a Bond movie.

Too bad that fat pig Henry VIII was unaware of the fact

Would you want to be the one to explain it to him?

.....And watch the libs here go nuts if George is chosing as the name. LOL!

Correct, the English tend to use words like “Brilliant”, “Fantastic”, and “Incredible” with much closer to their original literal meaning.

Too bad that fat pig Henry VIII was unaware of the fact ... would have saved a world of trouble.

Interestingly, I was telling my son the other night about Henry VIII--how he murdered the one wife for not bearing a son, and how he invented the Church of England so that he could divorce another wife for the same "failure."

I would prefer we get rid of the lot of them!

It’s just some useless knowledge I have left over from my equally useless Masters in Reproductive Immunology. X.x

(the biological sciences were hit the hardest by our current economic depression - most specialised biology degrees are currently more worthless than dirt, as I’ve found out the hard way)

You have my sympathy, I’m unemployed for the first time EVER right now.

[Impy]

I’m with you but I imagine that would take an ultra-leftist Labour PM to come to power.

It must be pretty lonely on the right over there being a republican.

I find it embarrassing really, this is the 21st Century. That family is paid millions of dollars to shake hands and provide fodder for the tabloids. I especially detest the continued worship of the late Diana who was a wh*re.

but these people are ruthless...

Good point. The Battenberg family is still there though they have no legitimacy. Credit to their ruthless political "skills"...if you can label intrigue and murder as skills.

The one useful thing about the rump English Monarchy is that it could be a symbol for all that is British.

But Elizabeth failed this test the other day when she assented to the queer marriage bill.

I mean, we could make fun of the new Prince by saying "won't it be special when he grows up to marry a nice boy?".

You have to ask....will a future English Queen be a male?

So I don't know if they practiced selective abortion to breed the perfect heir. With Elizabeth, she doesn't seem bright enough to have that kind of evil in her. Maybe the men around her, but not her. And probably not Kate Middleton, a real English woman.
