OK, I &quot;get&quot; that this birth may be of some minor importance to the folks who live in the UK and maybe in the Commonwealth, but why, oh WHY do the US media cover this as if it had some real significance for me in the US of A? I don&#039;t mean to be rude by bringing up old historic things, but back in the 1770&#039;s/1780&#039;s the colonists kicked the British Empire out of parts of North America. OK, so WHY is it that the US media is so enthralled with any royal births/weddings/ etc.? I do NOT get it at all and never have. Maybe it is due to all of my grandparents being from Germany? But, I despise Hitler and the Nazis, as they did and their male children fought against Germany in WW2. What am I missing?|EMAIL|bear4751@gmail.com|IP-ADDRESS|173.217.203.199|MODERATIONFLAG|
