…Kate goes and gets pregnant! (That’s the Duchess of Cambridge – Prince William’s wife – to my non-UK visitors).
Now we’re going to have to endure 9 months of BBC boot-licking on this subject, which kicked off well this morning with the entire breakfast show dedicated to interviewing people who just said “it’s wonderful news”. And reporters standing pointlessly in the cold outside the bloody hospital. And on the radio, the same nauseous gush from women who “are pregnant just like Kate”.
A warning to the BBC and Daily Mail: if you overdo it you will start turning the public off the Royals. Even the most loyal of Daily Mail readers is only going to put up with blanket coverage for so long, and that’s saying something.
I wonder if there’ll be a “souvenir pull-out” in any of the weekend papers? Jeez. Then there will be all those commemorative plates and coins in the back pages.
I think I’ll emigrate.
