I have no doubt that you have all been following this news story with great interest and celebrating  8)

If you are not UK based I'm curious to know how this story has been covered, if at all, in your own county and your views on it. Also open to UK residents for their comments of course.

Meaning 3 generations of out of work royals to support.

Chris Addison tweeted on the subject:
"A woman entirely financially dependent on the State has chosen to have a baby. The Daily Mail must be furious."

I'm sick of all these "Royal Celebrations". Babies are born all the time. People get married all the time.  :P

Thank god Finland isn't a Kingdom. It's enough to endure our current pompous president.

Excellent, I see that the celebrations are in full swing in Scandinavia.  ;D (on a separate note I'm looking forward to seeing Helsinki and Stockholm for the first time over the next couple of weeks).

Yes. That's not even uncommon among presidents, is it?

There were two choices: a pompous right-winger or a green gay. Finns chose the pompous right-winger.  ::)

I don't speak for all Finns, just for myself. Some Finns are extremely interested about these things.

Hopefully the weather will be nice when you are in Helsinki. The last week or so was rainy and cold but the weather is getting better now.

Thank you! That is really helpful. There has been a heat wave in the UK, and I was wondering what the temperatures are likely to be in Helsinki and Stockholm.

I imagined something similar will be done, when the day comes to reveal the baby from the balcony. ;D (Do they generally do that?)

I predict the name will be Phillip Charles William Spencer or Phillip Charles William Louie.
