Obviously people have different opinions so I suggest we respect each others' and just move on until there is a republican vote. Shame to drag two very young children (who have no choice in the matter) into it.
I agree Verdun, the royal family are over exposed but I think that's more a case of the media spoon feeding us news they think we should be paying attention to. The royals themselves probably get fed up too but see it as the downside of public life. Its frightening just how much the media influences the public consciousness.
The problem is that they can't do it. The press want their pound of flesh so Kate and William are pre-empting and releasing images for those who want to see them. Buy another paper or turn the TV off.
granted the press in the uk is even worse than here in the states but presidential children are completely off limits-no pictures, no stories, even when they are with their parents they are invisible. even fox news abides by the rules.
if the palace really wanted privacy for family members they could have it-by being private.
because if i remember correctly the brit press never actually publishes any real news about the royals.

Never saw the turkey though

lesley, the point is that the royals dragged the kids into it. those were not pics posted to her private facebook account.
if they want the kids to be off limits they are the only ones who can do it.

for all the failings or our " press" would you rather it was like Iran or Afghanistan or North Korea or China?
