Hamodia has a full page (A3) titled “Britain Welcomes Third in Line to the Throne”.
It must have some significance to Jews if most Chareidi news outlets talk about it.
Thank you notasheep for your sensible replies
The royal family are jewish and some are frum, So YES I DO CARE about other jews that they should be healthy and well. Mazel Tov and the Sholom Zachor is this friday night in Kensington Palace 1A from 8:30 for men only.
YOU ARE ALL MISSING THE BOAT if you care about this. Do you think Hashem wants us to put our interests in this? HE wants to put our interests in HIM, HA KADOSH BARUCH HU…think about it
moi aussi – so that’s Gershon Alexander Leibish?

Why should anyone care about this baby more than any other baby? Besides, the mother is a commoner. You can be into it but its mamish shtus vehevel following this couple is no different than following any of the other non Jewish celebrities. They are just celebrities nothing more. Do you read EW too? At least the queen is someone respectable.
Why do I have an interest in anything? Why do I have an interest in photography? Why do I have an interest in history? I just do. Likewise, in part because of the history and the pagentry, I have an interest in the history of the British monarchy — including the current royals. If these interests make me a horrible person in your eyes, then so be it.

Besides, the mother is a commoner.
This statement is incorrect. She is the wife of a peer (Prince William is the Duke of Cambridge) and, as such, is not a commoner.
And, before you state that she was *born* as a commoner, I should point out that so was her husband. In the UK, a commoner is someone who is not a peer or the monarch (or a woman married to a peer/the monarch). Prince William did not enter the peerage until he was created the Duke of Cambridge on the morning of his wedding day.
Very few people are born peers (only those whose fathers who were peers died prior to their birth). Everyone else is born a commoner.

Torah613Torah: Why were you hoping for a boy?
His initials are GAL. Hope that won’t have any effect on him.
Canadian Mountie:
1. For the sake of society. It would help slow the trend to equalize the genders at the expense of the men.
2. For the sake of Catherine. It would be nice for Catherine.
3. For the sake of the child. How would she find someone of higher status to marry.
gefen, he’s obviously going to move to the U.S. when he grows up and become a court-appointed guardian ad litem 😛
Torah- for number 3, why doesnt a boy have to also worry about not finding anyone of higher status to marry? So much for the equality goal.
squeak: Her #3 fits perfectly in line with her #1. Her point being forcing some kind of equality is not a positive thing.
I was Zoche to attend the Sholom Zochor last nite; I live within walking distance of Kensington Palace, so no Chilul Shabbos was entailed to get to the Sholom Zochor.
The grandfather Prince Charles [64] and the great grandfather Prince Philip [92] were with such Simcha on their faces.
The royal baby isn’t Jewish—> somewhere down the line like his great great great great someone was Jewish but he’s not considered Jewish at all!
@147,
The Bris is tomorrow (if the little prince is not yellow), so are you going to the Wachnacht tonight?
moi aussi: The Royal family being from the House of Hanover are thus Misnagdim, & hence no wachtnacht, but IY’H I’ll join them for Shacharis & the Beris tomorrow Monday; Thereby all 5 Mondays of this month of Ov, not having had to say Tachnun by both Shacharis & Mincho.
@147, I thought they were Alexander Chassidim (that’s why they named the baby Alexander) but you can still go say “hamalach” around the crib.
squeak: I’m against the equality goal. That was the first reason I’m happy it’s a boy.
