I wonder, how the birth of a Royal baby benefits the Common Wealth?
Would be great if our president focuses his attention on all those babies born daily, into poverty in our motherland.

What possible significance can this birth hold for the people of the Commonwealth? Please enlighten me someone!

I'm not surprised. UK is a heaven for war criminals, drug dealers, people smugglers etc.

Has no significance what so except for the said family. The rest are hallucinating like a flock of sheep. President's statement makes no sense and only encourages more such stupidity. Wake up you fools there are babies born into a lot of misery. No need to make a big deal out of the most privileged one.
