Prince George of Cambridge is Five Today

I used to follow the royals pretty closely.

This ended upon the death of Princess Diana and the manner of her death, the insanity of Prince Charles, and those suspicions I still hold regarding her tragic end with the nasty Dodi Fayed. Distinctly a lack of suitable choices indeed.

So her grandson, Prince George turns five today and in keeping with my attitudes presently in place I'm not really going to do any sigificant marking of the day aside from this short piece of writing.

This is based on some of the interactions of which I have read where he is said to have been quoted as saying "take you hands off me peasant" ... It's simply unseemly and figurehead individuals need to recognize their place as well.

Nobility is acquired not inherited and though you may have subjects to ooh and ah all over you there are those of us who maintain a respectful distance and make every attempt to keep our snide comments to ourselves.

All in all I think he will grow up to be just fine. However, he is no Prince William nor Prince Harry at this juncture.

He is third in the line of succession to the British throne behind his grandfather Prince Charles and his father Prince William.

So anyway, I hope the royal child has a great day and we'll see what we think as he matures as I still decline to be a fan.
